CompositesWorld Top Shops 2025

Welcome to CompositesWorld's Top Shops Benchmarking Survey. By completing this survey, you will receive a benchmarking report customized for your facility and have opportunities to earn top shop status as well as special recognition.

To make the process easier and more efficient, the survey is divided into two sections:
  • Core Survey: A set of essential questions that most participants have answered in previous years.
  • Optional Modules: Additional sections organized by specific areas of interest. You can choose the modules that are most relevant to your business. Once you select a module, we encourage you to complete all the questions within it for the most comprehensive results.
Now for your part:

1. Complete the core survey by April 30, 2025 to:
  • Receive a customized benchmarking report.
  • Earn Top Shops status.
  • Be recognized as an honoree.
2. Opt into up to 4-5 additional modules of benchmarking questions after completing the core survey.

FAQ’s on answering Q’s
