about jec

Shaping the
future of
composites

JEC Group is a non-profit organisation entirely dedicated to promoting composite materials and fostering their applications globally.

Our mission

Connecting the World with Composites

Fully dedicated to the global composite materials community

The people who make, specify, research and use composite materials, across the whole value chain.

Promoting composite materials, technologies and applications

The JEC Composites Innovation Awards, the Startup Booster, JEC's official selection of innovations, and our publications year-round.

Supporting the development of composites applications based on their performance

We work with the sectors where performance decides the material: aerospace, automotive, construction, energy, marine and sport – to name a few.

International and responsible

In addition to JEC World in Paris, we also organise regional JEC Forums and local JEC Talks. We back the associations that represent the industry, and we amplify its voice, in particular on circularity and sustainability.

Acting as a not-for-profit organisation investing its earnings into its mission

Everything we earn goes back into promoting and developing composites.

We are convinced that the high performance of composite materials will continue to open up exciting new horizons for human activities, improving people’s lives and leading to a better, more sustainable world.

our vision

Composites enable a more sustainable world

our beliefs

The principles that drive us

01

Knowledge sharing

We believe that knowledge sharing within and beyond the composite materials community develops collective intelligence, creativity and contributes to a broader and faster adoption of composites.

02

A connected global community

We believe that activating a global community from the business, manufacturing, research & academic worlds and enabling networking is a catalyst for new ideas and creates growth opportunities.

03

Innovation through collaboration

We believe that celebrating innovation, teamwork and entrepreneurship inspires the whole community to tackle new challenges, imagine, design and achieve new projects for the benefit of the industry.

Our history

Building the global composites industry since 1963

The JEC association, a not-for-profit dedicated to promoting composite materials and developing their markets, dates from 1963. It is now named JEC CPC (JEC Composites Promotion College). The first information bulletin the association published has become, over time, JEC Composites Magazine, dedicated to composite materials, their technologies and application sectors. The first conference on composites, held in 1965, is now JEC World, the leading event dedicated to composite materials, their manufacturing technologies, and their application sectors. JEC SAS, created in December 1996 as a subsidiary of the JEC CPC association, has since grown into the international entity entirely dedicated to promoting the composite materials industry.

A Global Network of Industry Partners

JEC collaborates with associations and organisations that represent the composites industry and its application sectors around the world. Rather than duplicating what they do, we give their work a wider platform with our events, such as JEC World, or our other events and in return we get regular updates about what happens in the industry locally and regionally.

Our key institutional partners also include:

  • EuCIA, the European Industry Association
  • SAMPE, the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering, the Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering.
