Zünd and Loop Technology shortlisted for Composites UK Industry Awards 2025
Zünd, in collaboration with Loop Technology, has been shortlisted for the Composites UK Industry Awards 2025 in the Innovation in Manufacture category.
The nomination recognises Zünd’s largest cutter to date, working in tandem with the world’s largest industrial robot, through the powerful integration of Zünd’s Aero Q-Line digital cutting system with Loop Technology’s automated high-rate composite preforming system, FibreLINE®.
The combined solution delivers a breakthrough in speed, precision, and automation for composite manufacturing — a step change that has already earned international recognition, with FibreLINE winning the JEC Awards in Paris and selected as a finalist for the CAMX 2025 Awards in the United States.
Nicki Kay, Managing Director at Zund UK Ltd said “Zünd is proud to see our Aero Q-Line technology driving next-generation composite manufacturing in collaboration with Loop Technology. This shortlisting highlights the value of combining world-leading digital cutting with advanced automation to meet the growing demands of the aerospace industry.”
Alun Reece, Chief Executive Officer at Loop Technology said " Loop Technology are excited to be shortlisted for the Composites UK Industry Awards 2025 and have FibreLINE recognized at this prestigious event. Our automated high-rate composite preforming system has evolved over the last few years and the recent combination with Zünd’s Aero Q-Line provides another level of accuracy, which will ultimately benefit customers who require a step change in composite aerostructure production."
The winners of the Composites UK Industry Awards 2025 will be announced at the annual Awards Dinner on November 29, 2025, celebrating innovation and excellence across the UK composites sector.
