Engineering Innovation for the Most Demanding Environments

Cygnet Texkimp is a trusted partner to the global aerospace and space industries, supplying state-of-the-art fibre and composite processing machinery that enables the manufacture of lightweight, high-strength materials for flight and beyond.

From airframes and interiors to propulsion systems and satellite components, our precision technologies are used across the full spectrum of aerospace applications – delivering exceptional control, repeatability, and performance under the most demanding conditions.

Engineering the technologies that take aerospace innovation further, faster, and higher.

From Pilot Line to Full-Scale Production

We design and manufacture complete process solutions for aerospace and space composite manufacturing – from laboratory-scale R&D systems to full industrial production lines.

Our equipment is engineered to maintain precise control of fibre tension, resin distribution, and coating uniformity, ensuring consistency and reliability from the first layer to the final part.

Key Technologies Include:

  • Prepreg and Tow Preg Lines  – For high-precision impregnation of carbon, glass, and aramid fibres.
  • Thermoplastic Composite Lines  – Enabling the high-volume manufacture of recyclable, lightweight structural components.
  • Coating & Filming Systems  – Delivering ultra-uniform resin layers for aerospace-grade surface finishes.
  • Fibre Handling & Creel Systems  – Ensuring controlled fibre delivery and tension during production.

  • Automation & Winding Machinery  – Supporting high-speed production of components, tanks, and propulsion structures.
