OUR STORY
Fiberglass Supply has been providing innovative builders with materials from the early 1980’s. Founded in the Monterey Bay area of California during the Sailboat boom of the 70’s and 80’s, some of the boats that our customers built during that time are still highly sought after today as high performance sailing machines. In the late 1980’s, Sailboarding took off, and we opened a store on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge, providing specialized materials to the Sailboard industry, including Carbon Fiber, Epoxies, and vacuum bagging supplies. To this day, we continue to supply cutting edge composite materials and services to innovators, hobbyists, and industrial users that continue to push the envelope of performance through composites in industries such as watersports, unmanned aerial systems, aerospace, automotive, robotics, and marine.
In 2012, we won an ACE award (Award for Composites Excellence) for our longboard skateboard infusion kits. We designed and developed these kits for use in High Schools, Community Colleges, and other youth training programs to teach students the basics of resin infusion and provide them with a project that they would find meaningful and exciting. In 2013, we developed infusion molding systems for a couple of customers that needed small parts infused with two finished sides.
In order to keep up with the trends in the composites industry, we participate in industry conferences, reviewing technical papers and attending presentations on the advances in the industry. We bring this information back with us and use it to train our employees and share with you.
Our approach to training our employees is two-pronged: how and why. The how part involves hands-on work with the materials using a number of processes, depending on the type of project. The why is more classroom style teaching that goes over the details and reasons why things are done a certain way or why they work a certain way. We encourage all of our employees to build personal projects; there is no better way to get a guy in the warehouse to understand why he needs to wash his hands before rolling your glass than to have him build a surfboard of his own and realize through the process, why he needs to treat the product he is shipping with respect. Our tech help team is also better prepared to answer your questions because they have not only learned the theory, but also have worked with the materials using the processes that you’ll be using. This helps them explain the finer points and, and in doing so, help you be successful, which is really what we want - you to be successful.
Over the years, we have added more capacity and capabilities, including CNC, plug making, and mold making services. We can kit your products and provide help with laminate design. For more information, check out our Services page.
We are excited about the future of Composites and to be part of the industry as it expands into new applications and processes.
And remember, we are always "itching for fun!"
