“We are thrilled to be partnering with Structural Composites on this venture,” says Harry Certain, Business Manager for Interplastic Corporation. “SC is a leader in the development of composites for the marine industry. The discovery of the CoCure concept provides the marine market the tools to greatly improve boat design, improving performance and lowering overall cost.”
