Kaneka Aerospace strives to be a global supplier of specialty high-performance composite materials. We create value through our disruptive technology that enables our customers to tackle even their most demanding application needs.

Our technical capabilities, tightly managed AS9100D certified quality management system, efficient global supply chain, and our excellent technical support and customer service allow us to offer unique solutions to all customers. While short in existence, Kaneka Aerospace has made significant strides to reach our goals. Kaneka Aerospace was established in September 2017 after Kaneka acquired Applied Poleramic Inc., a formulated advanced resin supplier in the aerospace area with over 25 years of history in the composites industry. In January 2018, Kaneka Aerospace acquired Henkel Corporation’s portfolio of benzoxazine based high-performance composites business, further expanding its technology and product portfolio. Kaneka Aerospace recently invested in an in-house prepreg production line, which vertically integrates our unparalleled formulation expertise and resin manufacturing capabilities with prepreg production. Currently, Kaneka Aerospace products are offered in the form of formulated resins, prepregs, and adhesive films. We work hard every day to continue this progress and to offer industry-leading solutions and service to all of our customers. For more information, please visit us at www.kaneka-aerospace.com
