About McCLARIN:

Composites provide the future-forward pathway for transformation in mobility, transport, energy, agriculture, housing, and the built environment. At McCLARIN, it is our responsibility to lead with purpose – not just in composites – but also in our communities and the environment. We manufacture composites essential to next generation buses, trucks, trains, RVs, and construction, mining, and farm equipment. These end-use platforms enhance experience and improve the footprint to drive, ride, construct, farm and enjoy nature. Through collaboration, we create processes and products that contribute to a decarbonized and circular economy. McCLARIN scouts and adopts new ways to make molding more sustainable. We shape materials into high-performance and high-quality products. We form value through signals gathered and joint development effort from concept to commercialization with our customers, suppliers, and stakeholders leading to disruptive products with a lighter footprint.
