Advanced Composite Solutions for the Australian Rail & Transport Industry

Stronger, Lighter, Smarter: Composite Solutions Driving Modern Transport

Reducing Weight & Fuel Costs while Increasing Reliability Across the Transport Sector

Demanding performance, safety, and compliance targets.

Our high-performance composites, including fire-retardant prepregs and insulating laminates, are engineered to deliver strength, thermal stability, and reduced weight in a sector governed by strict durability, flame resistance, and toxicity standards. These materials are ideal for structural, electrical, and thermal components used across passenger trains, freight systems, electric vehicles, and industrial transport machinery.

In rail interiors and transport housings, our materials enable lightweight construction without compromising fire safety or structural performance. For electric motors and dynamic braking systems, our insulation materials help prevent electrical breakdown, maintain efficiency under high thermal loads, and extend service life.

By developing reliable, specification-driven composite solutions, GMS supports rail & transport industry suppliers in reducing emissions, improving energy efficiency, and meeting regulatory standards while enhancing the overall durability and safety of modern transport systems.

In the realm of electric motor technology, insulation stands as a critical factor in ensuring efficient and reliable performance. For both AC and DC motors, tailored insulation solutions play a pivotal role in preventing electrical breakdown, enhancing thermal stability, and extending operational lifetimes. Furthermore, dynamic braking systems, vital for swiftly halting motion in electric vehicles and industrial machinery, demands insulation materials that withstand rapid energy dissipation while maintaining integrity.
