| With our unique formulations and production expertise, we’ve been able to take our carbon fibre processing and know-how to the next level – that being outer body panels. |

Magna Exteriors reports it can now produce Class-A carbon fibre composite body panels at "the production rates needed for the automotive industry."
This has been made possible using US-headquartered carbon fibre manufacturer Zoltek's Panex 35 carbon fibre.
Last year, Magna and Zoltek announced the launch of a carbon fibre sheet moulding compound (SMC) for automotive applications.
Magna, an operating group of Magna International Inc, Canada, says it now offers a complete range of lightweight composite parts, sub-systems and semi-structural applications for automotive as well as commercial truck and other markets.
