Oklahoma ACES Partner Spotlight: Infinite Composites

Infinite Composites, Inc., a leading manufacturer of high-performance composite pressure vessels, embarked on its journey in 2010. Originally known as CleanNG LLC, the company was founded by R.

Their initial vision centered around transforming the field of natural gas storage and transportation. However, as they developed their groundbreaking product and showcased its remarkable capabilities, a space satellite company recognized its potential beyond its original purpose. This pivotal moment prompted the company to reposition itself and broaden its horizons.

With a renewed focus on performance, the company rebranded as Infinite Composites to better align with its expanded mission. This strategic move opened doors to a wider range of composite pressure vessel solutions. By leveraging innovative materials and cutting-edge manufacturing technologies, Infinite Composites aimed to set new standards in the industry.
