Copps Industries: Your Process Partner

At Copps Industries, we redefine what it means to be a supplier. Beyond just delivering products, we act as a dedicated partner committed to your success. From our Virtual Chemist services to our unique process engineering expertise, we’re here to develop the right product formulations and advise on the ideal process for what you want to accomplish.

Consultative Partnership

Our philosophy is simple: we’re not successful until you are. This drives our approach to every project. Our custom solutions are designed based on your input, ensuring every product meets your specifications and performance requirements. When our products and your process work together seamlessly, we know we’ve done our job right.

“Ask An Expert” in Composites

Members of our team are deeply familiar with the world of composites, allowing us to provide informal consultation on design considerations and manufacturing processes in addition to formulating the perfect epoxy. Whether you’re facing challenges in scaling production or meeting strict quality requirements, you can “ask an expert” in composites.

Delivering Value Beyond Products

Across industries, our ability to deliver comprehensive solutions beyond just epoxies makes us a trusted partner. Engineers by training, some of our experts are equipped to consult from initial concept to final execution. Our willingness to openly share knowledge and insights means we’re ready to serve as a go-to resource for your team. It’s a value-add that enhances your overall experience with Copps.

Tailored Support

Personalized process engineering support isn’t something you’ll find offered by other suppliers. Our willingness to collaborate sets us apart. Whether you’re a startup or a seasoned manufacturer, our focus is on driving innovation together.

Example: UC Berkeley’s Formula SAE Team

Copps Industries has partnered with the UC Berkeley Formula Racing team for several years. The team is composed of a diverse group of students from various disciplines, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and business. We’ve supported their projects by providing state-of-the-art epoxy resins essential for crafting key components of their race car. Advanced materials and processes play a big role in the Formula SAE competition, and our experts have worked closely with the students to advise on the best resin systems and processes to optimize the performance and reliability of their car.

Imagine a scenario where the UC Berkeley Formula SAE racing team is developing a new carbon fiber component for their race car. They need a lightweight but durable solution that can withstand high-speed impacts on the track. Copps Industries would step up and serve as both a supplier and a process partner for their project.

In this hypothetical example, the UC Berkeley Formula SAE team might face a few challenges:

• Design Complexity: The team is designing a complex carbon fiber structure that needs to be manufactured with precision to ensure high performance.
• Production Scalability: They need a manufacturing process that can scale to produce multiple identical components efficiently.
• Performance Requirements: The composite part must meet strict performance criteria for weight reduction and mechanical strength.

To help, our composites expert would advise the UC Berkeley Formula SAE team on choosing the right epoxy resin formulation to meet their structural requirements and also enhance the manufacturing process. We might advise on optimizing the lay-up process and curing parameters to achieve consistent quality from one production batch to the next. This could include recommending techniques for fiber orientation and resin infusion to maximize strength and minimize weight.

With Copps Industries’ unique expertise, the UC Berkeley Formula Racing team could successfully develop a carbon fiber component for their race car that exceeds performance expectations and gives them a competitive edge on the track. This example showcases the value of partnership and specialized knowledge to drive success in complex engineering projects.
