SAMPE 2026 Seattle: advanced materials and composite engineering processes at the heart of North American industry.

The advanced materials and composite engineering sector will gather at one of its key international events, SAMPE 2026 Conference & Exhibition, taking place from April 27 to 30, 2026 at the Seattle Convention Center (USA). Organized by SAMPE, this event stands as one of the most relevant meeting points in North America for professionals involved in the development of advanced materials and composite manufacturing technologies.

Over four days, SAMPE 2026 Conference & Exhibition brings together leading companies, research centers, and specialized engineers through a program that combines an industrial exhibition with high-level technical conferences. The event focuses on key industry trends such as process automation, advanced resin systems, manufacturing digitalization, and the integration of new technologies within the composites sector. Industries including aerospace, automotive, energy, and construction find in this forum a strategic environment to analyze the evolution of materials and their applications in increasingly demanding scenarios.

In this context, events like SAMPE clearly highlight where the industry is heading: higher technical performance requirements, process optimization, and the adaptation of materials to specific applications. A scenario where solutions developed by Clades Composites play a key role within the composites value chain.

Manufacturing efficiency remains a critical pillar, especially in advanced industrial processes. In this area, the Ababol release agents line stands out as a key solution to ensure process repeatability, improve surface finishes, and reduce production times in demanding applications such as rotomolding, RTM, or hand lay-up. Its use is particularly relevant in sectors where precision and mold quality are essential for the final result.

At the same time, resin systems continue to be central to innovation in composites. The evolution of formulations and their adaptation to different manufacturing processes directly aligns with Clades Composites’ portfolio of epoxy, polyester, and vinyl ester resins, designed to deliver optimal mechanical performance, chemical resistance, and processing reliability in industrial applications.

Furthermore, the growing need for lightweighting and cost optimization is driving the adoption of solutions such as lightweight fillers, increasingly integrated into advanced formulations aimed at improving strength-to-weight ratios without compromising technical performance. These materials, widely used in sectors such as automotive, marine, and construction, reflect one of the key trends shaping the global composites market.

SAMPE 2026 therefore represents a strategic platform to understand the future direction of the industry. An environment where innovation in materials, continuous process improvement, and technical specialization define the path forward, and where Clades Composites continues to strengthen its position as a provider of tailored solutions for the evolving needs of the sector.
