August 5, 2019 – Precision formatter Web Industries Inc. is beginning work on a Center of Excellence for space-related thermal management solutions at its Denton, Texas, manufacturing facility. The 10,000-square-foot Center will support Web’s strategy of providing a broad array of thermal insulation products for space/satellite applications. The announcement is being made in conjunction with the Small Satellite Conference, August 5-8, 2019, Utah State University, Logan, Utah. (At the SmallSat Conference, Web occupies Booth #7T.)
According to Web Industries’ Thermal Insulation Business Development Manager Lee Smith, the Denton expansion will help Web meet the increased demand spurred by the new space race and the continuing proliferation of small satellite constellations. The Center of Excellence will promote lean manufacturing and smoother production flow, and will include new capabilities such as an advanced sewing operation.
“Customers supporting the new space race come to us for traditional multi-layer insulation (MLI) systems but also for sewn or stitched assemblies that are ready for installation by small satellite OEMs,” says Smith. “The expansion will allow us to differentiate our offerings and position Web to meet increased demand in the future.”
The MLI Center of Excellence at Denton is expected to be completed by early 2020.

August 5, 2019 – Space and aerospace OEMs interested in evaluating a thermal insulation product sample made of woven ceramic, Kevlar® and other materials are invited to Web Industries’ exhibit at the Small Satellite Conference, August 5-8, 2019, Utah State University, Logan, Utah. Web Industries Inc. is a precision formatter of advanced materials for space and aerospace applications. At the conference, Web Industries occupies Booth #7T.
The woven sample features integrated grommets and fasteners showing how the full-size product could be attached and secured to an actual space vehicle.
“Conference visitors can examine the woven product close up,” says Web Industries’ Thermal Insulation Business Development Manager Lee Smith. “The sample highlights Web’s capabilities in designing and manufacturing thermal insulation solutions for small satellite and other space applications.”
MLI Blankets In addition to the sample, Web also plans to showcase its multi-layer insulation (MLI) blankets for a wide spectrum of space applications. MLI blankets are lightweight components consisting of multiple layers of film or foil that reflect radiated heat energy. The blankets deliver exceptional performance in space environments.
“NASA scientists have tested MLI blankets using a calorimeter and obtained an R value (used to measure thermal insulation efficiency) of approximately 10,000,” Smith reports. “That is phenomenal insulating performance, many times higher than any other insulation product.”
Web can design and produce MLI blankets at commercial scale and at a rate necessary to meet tight launch schedules.
Web will also highlight its precision cutting and kitting capabilities at the conference. The company can precisely format a wide range of specialty materials used for thermal insulation, cutting them into precise shapes and kitting them for easy handling and installation by space and aerospace OEMs.

July 31, 2019 – Prompted by increasing demand for precision formatted composite materials for the Boeing 777X and by the aerospace industry’s burgeoning growth in the Pacific Northwest, Web Industries has purchased 12 acres of land for a manufacturing plant in Marysville, Wash., north of Seattle. The site is near Boeing’s final assembly plant in Everett, Wash. and in proximity to material supplier Toray’s processing facility in Tacoma, Wash.
The new facility will occupy 75,000 square feet and house Web’s proprietary composites slitting and winding technology. Future capabilities include development services and product cutting and kitting. The plant will be operational once the building is constructed, equipment is qualified and employees are trained.
According to Web Industries President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Pihl, the plant’s physical location positions Web to earn additional aircraft business in the region.
“The Pacific Northwest is the largest aerospace manufacturing center in the world,” Pihl notes. “Washington alone has more than 1,400 aerospace-related companies and a rapidly expanding ‘space cluster’ of high-growth enterprises. Our new plant investment has Web Industries perfectly located to grow right along with these businesses.”
$150,000 state grant The Washington State Department of Commerce has provided a $150,000 grant from Governor Jay Inslee’s economic development strategic reserve fund to support the new facility’s location.
“We are proud to welcome Web Industries to the leading global aerospace industry hub here in Washington,” says Governor Inslee. “The company’s significant planned investments in Snohomish County are a tremendous addition to one of the most robust carbon fiber composite manufacturing clusters anywhere in the world.”
Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring adds: “I am delighted to welcome Web Industries to the Arlington Marysville Manufacturing Industrial Center. This investment adds 75 new jobs in Marysville and will undoubtedly attract other employers who value available land and infrastructure at a more affordable rate than that of most of the Puget Sound.”
Patrick Pierce, president and CEO of Economic Alliance Snohomish County, notes that Web Industries is the first sizeable composites formatter in the Seattle area. “Web’s commitment to the region is the first significant one by a materials formatter in the carbon fiber space, and we expect others to follow,” Pierce says. “Aerospace has been the center of our industrial activity for decades, and the adoption of composite materials for the Boeing 787 and now the 777X broadens our regional supply chain. We also anticipate that Web’s expertise will have applications in industries outside of aerospace. Our interactions with Web executives over the past months have been most professional and we look forward to having them join our leadership community.”
