Let's get to know each other
Who we are
This consultancy is the result of more than six years of experience and expertise in composites. It was founded and developed out of the need to explore bio-based composite solutions that can truly help change the current paradigm of how composites are made today. This is a gradual process, requiring many trials and tests. That is where COMMANTECH, with its vast experience and strong international network, can make a difference.
Franco Armanasco
CEO
Franco was born in Argentina. He has obtained a Degree in Marine Engineering in Buenos Aires. After graduating, he began his career working as a structural composite designer for the sailing and motor yacht industry, participating in the development of sailing yachts from 30 ft to 100 ft constructed in Italy and Argentina. His passion in yacht building has motivated him to get more involved into composites manufacturing technologies. In 2019 he obtained a Master’s degree in composites engineering with a project thesis based on rheo-kinetics studies of novel bio-based polyurethane resins. He has developed manufacturing improvements of yacht buildings in Argentina, applying specific software and finding out the best products available in the market. In 2020 he started a PhD in engineering with a deep research and development in flax/soy-based polyurethane prepregs and its application in ATL/AFP manufacturing technologies. In the meantime, he has been collaborating with a Canadian research center dedicating his time in developing novel bio-sourced composite materials.
