About Us

Welcome to ACM CRC. The $100 billion international composites industry will undergo a major automation transition. Australia will need to reposition its manufacturing and sovereign engineering capability to capture emergent markets. Introducing Australian Composites Manufacturing (ACM) CRC; a capable and creative consortium of industry, government, and research partners who will help lead this transition. We plan to maximise Australia’s sovereign capability for a global turning point. In summary, we’re Australia’s transformation opportunity in: · Green Energy and EV Economies · Supply Chain Security · Industry 4.0 Transition · Workforce Transformation · Digital Production and Export · Sovereign Manufacturing Our 10-year program seeks to build a digital-export-ready composites industry with cost-competitive, high-quality platform capability. We’re creating this capability via intelligent automation, technology innovation and new product demonstration while qualifying Australia’s next generation of composites engineers. Through our four research programs, our key goals are to de-risk investment in composites manufacturing; while simultaneously strengthening and growing the transport, hydrogen, space, defence, circular economy and consumer sectors. In delivering our outputs, we will create education opportunities for HDR students and seek to achieve gender equity and inclusion in the industry.
