Closing the loop on carbon fiber — from aerospace waste to high-performance industrial parts
Shocker Composites recovers aerospace-grade carbon fiber using patented and proprietary processes, then engineers it into drop-in replacement parts that outlast conventional plastics by up to 3×. Our processes have matured to the point where high-performance carbon fiber products are now genuinely cost-competitive for industrial applications — bringing a material once reserved for aerospace and motorsport within reach of everyday industry.

OUR STORY
Where it started
Diverting from landfilling
Millions of pounds of carbon fiber prepregs are scrapped each year by the aviation industry and sent to landfill. Shocker Composites was founded to solve that problem — using patented and proprietary processes performed under ambient conditions without the thermal damage caused by conventional pyrolysis. The result is reclaimed aerospace-grade carbon fiber with properties that match virgin material.
The Innovation
Making recycled fiber processable at industrial scale
Reclaimed fiber alone isn't enough. One of the earliest companies to achieve this, Shocker engineered a densification process that converts loose recovered fibers into a flowable pellet form — a critical step that makes the material compatible with high-volume thermoplastic compounding equipment for injection and compression molding. No retrofits. No custom tooling. Just a sustainable raw material that slots into existing manufacturing lines.
What we do today
From raw fiber to finished parts
We've built a growing portfolio of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic pellets and CF-reinforced UHMWPE wear parts serving industries from agricultural conveying to heavy equipment. When customers bring us a problematic or weight-critical component, our composites engineering team works closely with them to re-engineer it in our materials — delivering a certified drop-in replacement that performs longer and weighs less.
PRODUCTS
CF-reinforced pellets for injection molding
Fiber-reinforced thermoplastic pellets that process on standard injection molding equipment — no line changes needed. Stronger, lighter parts with the same cycle times.
CF-UHMWPE wear parts & sheets
Carbon-fiber reinforced ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene sheets and machined components for drag conveyors, belt conveyors, agricultural equipment, and heavy industry.
Custom part conversion
Bring us your worn-out, heavy, or underperforming part. Our engineering team redesigns it in CF-reinforced composite — optimized for your loads, tolerances, and installation envelope.
Ready to convert your next part?
Whether you're dealing with premature wear, excessive weight, or supply chain constraints — we can engineer a drop-in solution in recycled carbon fiber composites.
