About us
CAION is an independent advisory firm in the carbon fibre value chain. We help research institutions, manufacturers and investors build or scale carbon fibre capability, with no equipment-supply interest.
Carbon fibre is unforgiving — get the precursor, process or conversion wrong and the economics collapse. We bring deep domain expertise, not generalist consulting, through a curated international network spanning the full chain, from precursor to composite, TRL1 to TRL10.
We work with you from first feasibility to a running line, de-risking the investment before you build, leaving you to operate and scale it.
Background
Carbon fibre composites have become a cornerstone of lightweighting solutions since the 1960s.
As the world focuses on climate goals and decarbonization, carbon fibre is emerging as an essential technology for renewable energy (wind), sustainable mobility (green hydrogen, future aviation), and climate-friendly construction.
This secular growth presents challenges and opportunities across the entire supply chain, from raw materials to manufacturing, applications and recycling.
