JOTA Composites invests in Zund Cutting Technology for new facility
JOTA Composites, a provider of composite manufacturing solutions and part of the renowned JOTA Group, has invested in the Zünd G3-L 2500 digital cutting system to power its kit cutting services.
Excellence in execution – The JOTA Way
Beyond the racetrack, JOTA Composites applies the same passion for precision to industries including automotive, defence, marine, and motorsport. From designing and manufacturing complex solutions to advancing cutting-edge technologies, the team is committed to excellence in all they do.
Operating from a brand-new 15,000 sq. ft. facility in Carterton, West Oxfordshire, the company sits alongside JOTA Advanced Engineering and the celebrated JOTA Sport motorsport team – the latter currently marking its 25th anniversary with an outstanding record of 13 podium finishes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans over the past 12 years.
This investment marks a significant step forward as JOTA Composites continues to push the boundaries of engineering and manufacturing excellence. Over £2.5 million has been invested in establishing the facility, which features the latest advancements in composite manufacturing and automation technology, according to Managing Director Matt Cox. “It took over a year to bring JOTA Composites to life,” said Matt. “Our investment in state-of-the-art technology ensures we consistently deliver accurate, high-quality results, on time and within budget.” He added, “Zünd is a well-known name in the composites industry, recognised for its precision, accuracy, longevity and reliability, so choosing to invest in a Zünd cutter was an easy decision. We have been really pleased with the support we received throughout the process, including demonstrations and training for our new staff.”
The Zünd G3-L 2500 cutter is the latest addition to JOTA’s world-class equipment lineup, which includes Premier Autoclaves, a KUKA KR 210 R2700-2 QUANTEC robot, and the Creaform MetraSCAN Black 3D scanner for measurement and reverse engineering. With these tools, JOTA Composites delivers a turnkey service across industries, handling everything from design for manufacture (DFM), pattern and mould creation, to component trimming, jig/fixture design, assembly, and full project management.
Reflecting on the recent Zünd installation, Phil Cross, Process Engineer at JOTA Composites, said: “One of the standout features of the Zünd system is the user-friendly software and intuitive interface. Our operators appreciate the simplicity of the software and the ability to quickly adapt and produce parts efficiently.”
As part of its commitment to Industry 4.0, JOTA Composites has also invested in robotic solutions, such as the KUKA QUANTEC trimming robot with a rotating A-frame, further enhancing automated manufacturing in composite part production.
With a deep pool of engineering talent and a passion for innovation, the JOTA Group continues to evolve — combining elite-level motorsport experience with advanced manufacturing to deliver best-in-class solutions across the automotive, aerospace, marine, and industrial sectors.
