Founded by Alex Wolford in a Columbus garage in 1999, Wolf Composites designs and manufactures custom carbon-fiber components, taking projects from one-off prototypes through production. Its 33,000-square-foot U.S. facility keeps design, engineering, machining and fabrication under one roof, with a 10-by-20-foot autoclave supporting repeatable composite parts. Wolf also developed the carbon target used in the NHTSA Strikeable Surrogate Vehicle for testing automatic emergency-braking systems.
