Royal Plastic Mfg., a pioneer and leading manufacturer of composite parts for the aerospace industry, announces its official corporate name change to Royal Engineered Composites effective September 1, 2010. "The RPM name has been in place for over 60 years and represented the company's roots in plastic manufacturing. Since the late 1950s, Royal's components for the aerospace industry have evolved from thermoformed plastics to fiberglass-reinforced plastics to 100% engineered composite materials and assemblies," states Phil Gill, Royal President.

Royal Engineered Composites offers complete design and prototyping services, as well as mold making and technical support for aerospace and defense companies. Royal has served as a "low cost" outsource alternative in space and satellite applications, secondary aircraft structures, radomes, composite covers and shields, ECS ducting and more. Royal is also at the leading edge of technology with its High Temperature Laser Sintering (HTLS) capabilities, which involves making parts without requiring tooling.

The name change reinforces the Royal brand as an industry leader in the manufacture of composite materials and more accurately represents the company's technical capabilities, state of the art facilities, equipment, and expertise.
