Technology & facilities
Performance, builtinto every layer.
C-Quip combines composite engineering, high-performance materials and specialist manufacture across two facilities. From 3D modelling and finite element analysis to clean-room lay-up, autoclave curing and final finish, every stage is directed towards the same outcome: lightweight equipment with the strength, precision and reliability demanded in marine, aerospace and motorsport.

Engineering
& Manufacture
C-Quip brings composite design, analysis, tooling, pre-preg manufacture, precision metalwork, finishing, assembly and testing into one connected process. Keeping each stage closely coordinated protects the design intent and supports consistent quality from concept through delivery.
Analysis
Geometry, load paths, interfaces and operating conditions are resolved through detailed design, 3D modelling and finite element analysis before manufacture begins.
Tooling
Precision patterns and moulds translate the engineered geometry into physical tooling, carrying the design through to manufacture.
Lamination
Pre-preg laminates are laid up in controlled clean-room conditions, with fibre orientation and ply sequence placed to specification.
Curing
Laminates are consolidated and cured under controlled heat and pressure, producing high fibre-volume fractions and low void content.
Assembly
Finishing and assembly remain closely connected to design and manufacture, carrying the original engineering intent through to the finished component.
Materials
Materials chosen for what they do.
No single material is right for every part. We combine carbon fibre, titanium, stainless steel and teak according to the structural, environmental and tactile demands of each application.
Each material has a defined role within the finished product, selected for how it performs and how it integrates with the complete structure.
Structure
Pre-preg carbon fibre
Precise control over resin content and fibre alignment before curing.
C-Quip uses pre-preg carbon fibre systems where their combination of low weight, stiffness, controlled manufacture and finish suits the application.
The result is a lightweight laminate capable of delivering exceptional stiffness, strength and fatigue resistance.
03 / Facilities
Two facilities.
One C-Quip standard.
C-Quip’s two-site manufacturing model pairs more than 20 years of composite engineering experience in Auckland with purpose-built production capacity in Clark. Distinct roles, connected by shared specifications and expectations of quality and finish.
Auckland, New Zealand
Advanced engineering and custom manufacture
C-Quip has worked with advanced composite materials for more than two decades. Its dedicated aerospace capability has developed alongside that broader marine and composite-engineering experience.
As production of established product lines develops in Clark, Auckland is expected to place greater focus on product development, rapid prototyping, custom engineering and complex low-volume builds, giving the team greater flexibility to develop new ideas and respond to technically challenging briefs.
Capabilities

Autoclave and curing equipment at C-Quip's Auckland facility
Clark, Philippines
Purpose-built for efficient, consistent production
The Clark facility is being developed to add manufacturing capacity for C-Quip's established product range.
Working in collaboration with Auckland, Clark is intended to extend C-Quip's manufacturing capacity while maintaining the material specifications, product quality and attention to detail expected of every C-Quip component.
Capabilities
- Autoclave
- Clean room
- Prototype tooling
- Paint room
Open autoclave at C-Quip's Clark production facility
Together, the two facilities provide a stronger and more scalable production base for growing demand across marine, aerospace and motorsport.
From first model to finished component.
Whether the brief calls for a one-off technical solution, a custom variation or repeat manufacture, C-Quip has the engineering depth and production capability to take it through every stage.
