The International Composites Summit (ICS) has announced PRF Composite Materials as the Exclusive Forum Headline Sponsor for the 2026 event, reinforcing the company’s commitment to driving innovation, collaboration, and technical advancement across the global composites industry.
Taking place at The Drum at Wembley, ICS 2026 will bring together OEMs, Tier 1s, material suppliers, manufacturers, researchers, investors, and emerging technology companies for two days of technical exchange, strategic discussion, and high-value networking.
Recognised globally for its advanced prepreg technologies, tooling systems, and high-performance composite materials, PRF continues to support innovation across aerospace, automotive, motorsport, marine, industrial, and emerging applications. The company has built a strong reputation for combining technical excellence with practical manufacturing solutions, including developments in rapid cure systems, tooling technologies, and recycled carbon fibre materials.
As Exclusive Forum Headline Sponsor, PRF will play a central role within the ICS conference programme and delegate experience. The partnership includes premium branding throughout the Forum theatre, opportunities to chair technical sessions, integrated visibility across ICS marketing campaigns, and direct engagement with delegates throughout the two-day event.
Gemma Hardy, Managing Director of The Fluency Business Group and organiser of ICS, said: “PRF has consistently demonstrated what innovation in composites should look like, combining technical excellence with practical manufacturing solutions that support performance, efficiency, and sustainability across the industry. Their commitment to collaboration and industry progression makes them an ideal partner for ICS 2026, and we are delighted to welcome them as our Exclusive Forum Headline Sponsor.”
Hannah Khusainova, Marketing Director at PRF, said: “At PRF, we believe the composites industry moves forward fastest when technical innovation is combined with meaningful collaboration and knowledge sharing. ICS has created a highly focused environment that brings together engineers, manufacturers, researchers, and decision-makers in a way that feels genuinely valuable for both exhibitors and visitors.
“What particularly appealed to us was the ambition behind the event experience itself, creating more focused forums, clearer visitor engagement, stronger networking opportunities, and dedicated spaces for innovation and discussion. In a busy events calendar, helping people understand where the value is and how they can actively participate is incredibly important, and ICS is clearly evolving with that in mind.”
ICS 2026 will feature an expanded event programme including industry forums, innovation showcases, networking experiences, a careers and mentoring zone, and dedicated discussions focused on the future of advanced materials and manufacturing.
The event continues to strengthen its global industry partnerships, with organisations including SAMPE and Women in the Composites Industry supporting the 2026 programme, alongside returning headline media partner CompositesWorld.
