Carbon fibre, aramid, glass fibre and hybrid composites — engineered, tooled and produced in-house at our facility in Surat, Gujarat.
Shish is a leading manufacturer of high-performance, customized advanced composites offering complete solutions from design and engineering to tooling, jigs, fixtures, and precision composite production. With a state-of-the-art facility in Surat, Gujarat, India, we combine advanced technology with deep material expertise to deliver reliable, efficient, and future-ready products.
Our capabilities cover a wide range of materials, including Carbon Fiber, Aramid, Glass Fiber, and Hybrid Fabric Composites, each engineered to meet the unique demands of modern industries. We have strong specialization in the Aerospace and Defence sectors, where lightweight strength, durability, and precision are critical.
Beyond aerospace, Shish composites bring innovation to Automobile, Healthcare, and Sports applications—enabling lighter vehicles with improved efficiency, advanced medical solutions, and high-performance sporting equipment.
Driven by continuous research, innovation, and sustainable practices, Shish is building the next generation of advanced materials that redefine performance and reliability across industries.
Materials we work with
Composite performance is decided long before anything is moulded. It is decided by which fibre carries the load, how the plies are oriented, and where one material is asked to do a job another does better. These are the four families we build in, and what each is genuinely good at.
Carbon fibre
The highest stiffness for its weight of the four. Specified where deflection under load has to be minimised — structural panels, housings and load-bearing brackets. It is electrically conductive, which matters both for shielding and for galvanic compatibility wherever the part meets metal fittings.
Aramid
Absorbs impact energy rather than passing it straight through. The right choice where a part may be struck or abraded in service, or has to contain fragments. Very strong in tension and comparatively weak in compression, so it is usually paired with another fibre rather than used alone.
Glass fibre
Lower cost per kilogram, electrically insulating, and transparent to radio frequency — which is why radomes and antenna housings are built from it. Heavier than carbon for the same stiffness, and often the sensible answer when weight is not the binding constraint.
Hybrid fabric
Carbon and aramid woven together, or layered within one laminate, to combine carbon’s stiffness with aramid’s damage tolerance. Used where a part has to be both rigid and survive an impact without shattering — a common requirement in defence and motorsport.
From design to finished part
We are a manufacturer rather than a converter, which means the laminate is engineered for your application instead of being selected from a catalogue. The sequence runs:
- Design and engineering. Laminate schedule, fibre orientation and ply drop-offs worked out against the loads the part will actually see, not a generic layup.
- Tooling. Moulds and mandrels made in-house, so tooling lead time sits with us rather than with a third party.
- Jigs and fixtures. The difference between one good part and a thousand identical ones. Built alongside the tooling so repeatability is designed in from the start.
- Precision production. Layup, cure, trim and inspection under one roof, with the engineering team that specified the laminate still accountable for the part that comes out.
Industries we serve
Aerospace & defence
Our primary specialisation. Structural and semi-structural components where weight, stiffness and repeatability are all simultaneously critical.
Automotive
Lightweighting of body and structural parts, where every kilogram removed compounds into efficiency, range or lap time.
Healthcare
Components that must be rigid, light and, in imaging applications, radiolucent — a property metals cannot offer.
Sports
High-performance equipment where stiffness-to-weight is the entire product specification.
Choosing between them
Most enquiries arrive asking for carbon fibre, because carbon fibre is the material people have heard of. It is often the right answer, and it is often not.
If the governing requirement is stiffness and weight, carbon earns its cost. If the part will be struck in service, aramid or a hybrid will outlast it. If the part sits near an antenna or any RF path, carbon’s conductivity rules it out and glass is the only sensible choice. And if weight is not actually a binding constraint, glass delivers the same job at a materially lower cost.
We would rather have that conversation before tooling is cut than after.
What to send us for a quotation
The more of the following you can share, the more precise the response:
- A drawing or 3D model, or a physical sample of the part being replaced
- The loads and load directions the part carries, and any deflection limit it must stay within
- Service environment — temperature range, UV exposure, chemical or fuel contact, impact risk
- Annual quantity and whether this is a prototype, a bridge run or series production
- Surface finish and any cosmetic requirement, which affects both tooling and cost
