Company Overview

In 1976, Structural Composites Industries (SCI) became the world's first producer of D.O.T.-approved composite cylinders for municipal, commercial, military, marine and aerospace applications. With a safety record no other manufacturer can match, SCI is the world's most advanced manufacturer of composite cylinders.

SCI is a company whose presence is not readily noticed by industry users or the general public. SCI products, however, can be found on some of the most advanced applications used regularly by industry and the general public. SCI is the leading provider of oxygen storage solutions for commercial airliners. In addition, SCI also leads the way in providing air storage for aircraft emergency evacuation deployment systems.

SCI's stake in the SCBA cylinder market is second to none. With more cylinders in use in the field than any other manufacturer worldwide, SCI leads the way in providing DOT approved cylinders for SCBA.

SCI is also the leader in the alternative fuel cell market. SCI is the sole source of high pressure gas containment systems for many automobile manufacturers' hybrid vehicles.
