Infinite Composites Technologies

Infinite Composites Technologies (ICT) designs, develops and manufactures composite pressure vessels, marketed as the infinite Composite Pressure Vessel (iCPV). The tanks are linerless Type V vessels built by wrapping resin-coated carbon fiber in a computer-controlled pattern, eliminating the steel or plastic gas-tight liner used in conventional composite tanks. Removing the liner is intended to recover internal storage volume and cut weight, which the company states can reach up to 90% versus steel pressure vessels and up to 40% versus other composite pressure vessels, and which allows the vessel to hold more fuel weight than cylinder weight.

Product applications span spacecraft (pressurant, propellant, oxidizer storage, life support), aviation (oxygen breathing systems, emergency slide inflation), transportation (fuel storage and transport, hydrogen and CNG vehicles) and industrial gas (processing tanks, hydraulic and pneumatic actuators, backup generators). The company offers more than 20 tank designs ranging from 0.1 L to 325 L, and manufactures vessels from 5 inches to 30 inches in diameter and up to 10 feet in length, cured in an onsite industrial oven. Vessels store gases at 3,000 psi and above, and the company cites testing from -400°F to 1500°F, 18,000 pressure cycles or a 20-year useful life, and DO-160G crashworthiness testing. ICT is AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certified and operates an 11,280 sq ft manufacturing and testing facility.

Founding story

Matt Villarreal and Michael Tate met at Oklahoma State University on a collegiate Formula SAE race team that, seeking to reduce fuel expense, built and raced the first compressed natural gas Formula SAE vehicle in the United States. The CNG fuel tank proved bulky, stored insufficient fuel and added roughly 10 percent to the vehicle's weight, leading Villarreal to engineer a linerless composite tank design and the two to found the company. The company received early assistance from the New Product Development Center at OSU. Founding date is reported variously as 2009 and as October 2010.

Business model

ICT sells engineered composite pressure vessels and related design, development and analysis services to private-sector aerospace and industrial customers and to government agencies, supplemented by government and state grants and SBIR/STTR awards. Revenue derives from commercial and government contracts and tank deliveries.

Product sales of composite pressure vessels and contracted development work for aerospace, defense and industrial customers, alongside grant and subcontract funding from government programs.

Traction

The company reports $8.5M in contracts including SpaceX, Blue Origin, the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army and NASA; more than 350% revenue growth for two consecutive years; 400% growth in tank deliveries in 2020; 20+ team members; an 11,280 sq ft manufacturing and testing facility; and 20+ tank designs from 0.1 L to 325 L. A separate profile lists $1M in trailing-twelve-month revenue and 10 employees. Tanks are in use in space for satellite propellants, and the company reported multi-domain flight heritage in July 2025 and $5.5M in NASA CLPS-related subcontracts by August 2026.

Latest developments

In December 2024 the company entered a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to advance long-term hydrogen storage technology. In July 2025 it announced achieving multi-domain flight heritage. In August 2026 it closed a $2.9M Commercial Lunar Payload Services subcontract, bringing total CLPS-related contract value to $5.5M. The company is seeking $6.5M for team expansion, facility and equipment, and product certification.
