Marine is where C-Tech began — and where we continue to lead.
From our founder hand-building carbon spars for his own skiff to partnering with Emirates Team New Zealand for the 2003 America’s Cup, our journey started on the water. We’ve grown with the marine industry — from grassroots to the Grand Prix.
Bringing proven capability to defence projects where performance and integration matter most. Our solutions overcome weight, corrosion, and durability challenges for defence teams when failure is not an option.
Trusted by world-class industries.
Built for marine.
We're not new to performance at sea.
With 28 years of experience across America’s Cup campaigns, offshore racing, and marine propulsion innovation, C-Tech delivers carbon fibre solutions trusted in the most extreme maritime environments — from wing sail systems to deep-sea structural supports.
Of experience in high-performance composite manufacturing.
Across aerospace, America’s Cup, and space exploration.
Marine systems supported — from propulsion to rigging to structural integration.

Precision Carbon Tubes for Tactical Drone Payloads
Request a technical consultation
Engineered for repeatable production at scale, C-Tech manufactures ultralight, high-strength carbon fibre tubes engineered specifically for expendable loitering munitions and tactical drone applications. Using prepreg carbon layups on precision-ground mandrels, we ensure structural consistency, superior tensile strength, and aerodynamic performance — critical for payload stability and mid-flight resilience.
Our tubes can be tailored for specific mission profiles including launch tube housings, guidance structures, and fuselage bodies. All components are manufactured with tight tolerances and repeatable mechanical properties, supporting high-speed production and deployment.

Every component is engineered in-house, proven on the water, and trusted to perform.
From battens to foils, we rethink, refine, and push the limits of marine performance — delivering smarter, faster, stronger solutions that give teams the edge.
Because Performance
Demands Precision.
Our composite processes are built around delivering repeatable strength, weight savings, and engineered performance in the harshest marine conditions.
Autoclave Curing
Void-free consolidation under aerospace-grade heat and pressure for maximum structural integrity.
Prepreg Accuracy
Tight control of fibre orientation and resin content ensures consistent laminate quality every time.
CNC Precision
Laser-cut ply kits and post-processing deliver pinpoint accuracy from design to delivery.
Advanced Tooling
Expertise across aluminium, CNC board, and carbon fibre — built for both one-offs and scale.
Quality You Can Trust
Ultrasonic NDT and dimensional QA ensure every build meets the demands of critical marine performance.
Design Capability
In-house design and laminate engineering ensures every component is tailored for strength, weight, and real-world marine performance.
End-to-End Service
From concept to delivery, we manage every stage — ensuring precision, speed, and seamless collaboration from start to finish.
Every part is designed and engineered in-house, allowing full traceability and control — from fibre orientation and layup sequences to curing cycles and final inspection.
This isn’t just about making parts that last. It’s about delivering the exact performance profile you need, every time.
From custom foil profiles and structural tubes to hardware built to survive the Southern Ocean — we solve performance challenges with a deep understanding of the loads, flex profiles, and marine dynamics our customers face.
