Plyable has over 40 years experience in the composites industry and 30 in the world of tech.
We set up Plyable because we were frustrated by the lack of innovation in “state of the art” tech in the tooling industry. Composites have enjoyed huge growth due to the uptake in many diverse sectors but the prototyping and molding processes have not developed at the same rate.
