As Toray PMC approaches its 40th anniversary in October 2026, we reflect on a journey defined by innovation, resilience, and leadership in advanced materials. For four decades, our mission has remained unwavering: to deliver high-performance thermoplastic composites and carbon fiber solutions that improve lives and empower industries worldwide.

Four Decades of Engineering Excellence

Since our founding in 1986, Toray PMC has been at the forefront of composite technology. Our commitment to innovation has driven advancements in carbon fiber and thermoplastic composites, enabling industries to achieve greater strength, durability, and sustainability. Over the years, we’ve invested in cutting-edge technology, rigorous quality standards, and, most importantly, our people. 

Message from Toray PMC’s President & CEO Laurie Calligaris 

“PMC is celebrating 40 years of continuous U.S. manufacturing. Over the course of these years, we have created jobs and provided opportunities not only for American workers, but for workers around the globe. Wherever we manufacture, we invest in our community, our products, and, most importantly, our people. Our team has weathered many storms together, but through teamwork and training, we have come out stronger each time. This is the Toray PMC spirit. We don’t give up. We lock arms and work toward a common goal. As we look forward, we will continue to improve and invest in our skills with newly installed automation, enhanced quality control processes, and continued adherence to strict safety regulations. We will always invest in our people because they are the foundation of our success.”

Materials That Move Industries Forward
