Founded as Kemlite Company in 1954, Crane Composites is currently the world's leading
manufacturer of fiber-reinforced plastic composite materials.
During our years as Kemlite, we grew steadily, acquiring the Filon manufacturing facility
in Jonesboro, AR, in 1993 and Sequentia, Inc. in Grand Junction, TN, a manufacturer of
frp for the building products industry, in 1998. In 2001, we extended our manufacturing
operations to the U.K. by acquiring Lampro, Britain's leading frp producer. In 2002, we
acquired another frp manufacturer, Lasco Composites LP in Florence, KY, and Qualis, a
film embossing company. Our presence in the Recreational Vehicle market was extended through the acquisitions in Goshen, IN of Noble Composites in 2006 and the composite panel business and research and development center of Owens Corning in 2007, a portion of the Fabwel business unit; and by establishing an RV warehouse service center.
Crane Composites employs more than 650 people worldwide and maintains manufacturing sites in Channahon, IL.; Jonesboro, AR.; Florence, KY.; Goshen, IN and Alton, England. Click here to see photos and addresses of our facilities. We are committed to pursuing service and operational excellence.
Since its inception, Crane Composites has pioneered new products into new markets with new technology resulting in patents and leadership in the products it manufactures. The emphasis today has broadened to include national and international market areas in the Recreational Vehicle, Transportation and Building Products sectors.
