Twisted has acquired KS Composites, the renowned Melton Mowbray-based engineering and advanced composites specialist.
The acquisition brings world-class carbon fibre capability into the Twisted group, strengthening its engineering solutions, accelerating innovation, and securing supply for the next generation of Twisted vehicles and marine products.
It has been a significant five years for the Yorkshire company, best known for its classic Land Rover Defender restomods. Twisted has entered the premium marine sector, established a Special Projects division, expanded internationally, and in 2025 launched the new T-Bug – a modern recreation of the classic Baja Bug. The addition of KS Composites is the latest step in a phase of growth.
KS Composites brings over 40 years of expertise as a leading manufacturer of advanced composite components. For its existing OEM and niche clients, continuity and support are assured. All 120 members of the workforce remain in post, ensuring stability, trusted relationships, and the same uncompromising quality of service. The acquisition complements KS Composites’ existing markets and client base, allowing the business to continue operating independently while benefiting from the additional resources and strategic opportunities afforded by Twisted.
