In 2001, with the family business going strong, Roy Carver III continued the family tradition of innovation, starting a composite business in Muscatine that targeted medium-volume users with reasonably priced, high-end custom compression molding. R3 Composites was born. Like all Carver ventures, it grew rapidly, driven by the demand for proprietary products from several steady clients. In 2010, R3 Composites found a new manufacturing facility in Grabill, Indiana, drawing on a plentiful supply of skillful local artisans. Today, innovation is still a coveted family value. R3 Composites continues to push the boundaries of engineering and custom molding to produce plastic and composite components that improve performance and increase the value of existing products.
