JEC Composites will announce the winners of the JEC Innovation Awards Programme 2010.

This year, 11 companies and their partners will receive awards at the JEC Composites Show (April 13-15). The programme was created in 1998 with the goal of promoting innovation.

Each year, a jury of renowned international experts chooses the best composite innovations based on their technical interest, market potential, partnership, financial impact and originality.

The winners were selected from the following categories: Building & Construction, Environment & Recycling, Raw Materials, Bio-based Materials, Aeronautics, Sports and Leisure, Transportation, Wind Energy, Process and Automation.

The integration of composites in the building and construction industry is becoming established. This means that works designers and architects are really using composites as full-fledged materials, in conjunction with traditional materials like concrete, steel and wood.

The 2010 JEC Awards ceremony will take place on Tuesday April 13 at the JEC Show and will be open to all visitors.
