This article highlights the 2008 JEC Composites Show held in Paris, France. One of the main focus at the show was adapting existing processes and materials for mass production. Some of the improved techniques presented at the event were for spray up, resin infusion and prepreg laminating. At JEC, Matrasur Composites showcased its first complete commercial plants that features discrete robotic work cells. A robot polyurethane (PUR) spray cabins was introduced by Sirtek Srl at JEC.

The article reports on the reinforcements and plastic materials featured at the JEC international composites show in Paris, France, in April 2007. According to the author, the event reported the increasing use of natural and thermoplastic fibers, hybrid fiber combinations, small-diameter glass fibers and prepregs. The top JEC innovation prize went to F.T.S. Fibre e Tessuti Speciali SpA. Meanwhile, CRST SA showcased unidirectional fabrics that combine long-fiber hemp with thermoplastic fibers.
