The UK based companies Amber Composites and Technical Resin Bonders, whose key markets include the motorsport industry, have been bought by a consortium of international investors
Commenting on the purchase of Nottingham based Amber Composites and Huntingdon based TRB Jonathan McQueen who headed the consortium said, “We chose these companies because of their proven product and technology expertise as well as their strong management teams. The use of composite materials is expanding rapidly and we are well-positioned to capitalise on this growth.”
Amber Composites manufactures and distributes a range of composite, tooling and adhesive products for a variety of applications within a diverse range of markets, including motorsport, automotive, aerospace and marine. Technical Resin Bonders reportedly was one of the original companies in the U.K. to manufacture honeycomb sandwich panels and continues to manufacture bonded assemblies, lightweight panel systems and composite structures.
