Additional Information

Alta Performance Materials is a global leader in high-performance composite materials. Formerly known as INEOS Composites, the company became Alta following its acquisition by KPS Capital Partners in 2025. Alta specializes in the development and production of unsaturated polyester resins, vinyl ester resins, and gelcoats, which are sold to manufacturers of FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Plastics). These composites are an integral part of our lives for a number of well-documented reasons. They offer outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. They provide remarkable design flexibility. Composites are also a preferred solution when longevity is a key requirement. It’s used in applications such as wind turbine blades, boat hulls, automotive body panels, swimming pools, and industrial tanks and pipes requiring corrosion resistance. With a strong focus on innovation and sustainability, Alta supports technical advancements through durable and efficient material solutions.
