About MCCFC
Mitsubishi Chemical Carbon Fiber and Composites (MCCFC) is a manufacturer of carbon fibers and composite semi-finished products. The product portfolio includes carbon fibers as well as prepregs, towpregs and adhesives for a wide range of applications. Carbon fibers are characterized by low weight combined with high strength and stiffness, enabling performance-enhanced components in many industries. The company's Composite Materials Division is based in Irvine in the US state of California and is certified to AS9100D, the quality standard for the aerospace industry. In March 2017, MCCFC acquired SGL Carbon Fiber's US carbon fiber production facility. The company sees itself as a provider of advanced materials for the next generation of products and is working to expand its production capacity in order to support customers in developing new technologies.
