About Fiber Materials, Inc.
Fiber Materials, Inc. is an industry leader producing high temperature materials,
advanced composites, carbon and graphite insulation and carbon/carbon composite
products. We have been doing so for more than 30 years. FMI® also offers
quartz based fiber and fabrics, ablative coatings, and an independent Energy Materials Testing
Laboratory.
Started in 1969 by an innovative and resourceful engineer, Fiber
Materials, Inc. continues to progress as a corporation by researching,
manufacturing and distributing advanced composite and high temperature
materials for the defense, aerospace and commercial markets. FMI developed reinforced
composites used in strategic missile
systems and space reentry vehicle applications. Along with these
advances, FMI manufactures felt and rigid carbonaceous insulation materials and
Commercial Carbon Composites, a strong, lightweight and
durable carbon matrix used in many commercial applications. In 1972, all operations
were moved to the newly built manufacturing and testing complex located in
Biddeford, Maine.
The Presque Isle, Maine manufacturing facility weaves multi-directional carbon fiber used in the
construction of rocket motor assemblies and specialty fabrics used in ballistic
shields, reinforced armor and recreational vehicles.
FMI's Space Technology
