The Globe Composite engineering team was in Newport Rhode Island exhibiting its design & engineering capabilities at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) 5th annual Small Business Product Vendor Industry Day.

The Globe Composite team was in Munich Germany for the 21st edition of inter airport Europe.The inter airport Europe show hosted 657 exhibitors from 44 countries, who presented a unique variety of the latest airport equipment. This is the world’s leading airport exhibition, and it covered all areas of airport-related technology and services, as well as featuring four exhibition categories: interRAMP (ground support equipment), interTERMINAL (technical terminal installations and services), interDATA (specialised hardware and software) and interDESIGN (architecture and furnishings). If we were to come up with a theme for this inter airport Europe exhibition, it would be "continuous innovation".  Live demonstrations of new products and innovations were a key feature of the show.
