Toray Composites America

Toray Composites (America), Inc. (TCA) was established as a Washington State corporation in May of 1992. Located on 25 acres in the Port of Tacoma Frederickson Industrial area, it is within 24 miles of scenic Mt. Rainier.

TCA's facilities include a prepreg production facility as well as a state-of-the-art Technical Center charged with research and development of new carbon composites applications.

TCA adds more than 300 jobs to the Puget Sound region and offers many benefits to its workforce. The company is an active member of the local community.

Toray Composites (America), Inc., is a leading producer of high quality advanced composite prepreg materials serving the needs of the recreational, aircraft and industrial markets.

Torayca® prepreg materials are produced using the hot-melt film process which results in superior prepreg areal weight and per-ply thickness control. Our primary product lines consist of 250°F & 350°F curing epoxies. Current fiber reinforced product forms include: carbon fiber unidirectional (UD) & fabric and glass fiber fabrics. Fiber areal weights ranging from 70 gm/ m2 up to 370 gm/m2, with others available on request.

TCA Participates in PCSC's "Plan for Your Future Day"

While it is obvious that TCA is highly invested in the training and education of its own employees, it is also an active contributor to the education of high school age students in the Tacoma area who are interested in composite manufacturing.

The Pierce County Skills Center (PCSC), established in 2010, features an Aerospace Composites program for those very students. TCA has been working with the program to help develop the curriculum, which is modeled directly after real projects that students will experience when they emerge into the work force.   (read more)
