CSSI was established in 2001 to expand the knowledge of composite materials technology and create innovative new products.

A significant amount of time and resources have been dedicated to successfully developing and introducing our composite wall technology to the market. CSSI has collaborated with various government agencies and completed numerous research projects on their behalf. We have successfully designed, installed, and manufactured composite walls in all environments, consistently exceeding our customers’ expectations.

Dr. Clem Hiel, the founder and President of CSSI, has a long and distinguished career in the composite materials field that includes over 12 years at NASA-Ames Research Center, where he was a Principal Investigator in the composite materials research program.

In 2008, CSSI received the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Charles Pankow Award for Innovation for Lightweight Modular Composite Firewall Systems.

The CSSI team works closely with Dr. Hiel to develop and manufacture new, innovative asset protection products, including standard products and custom-engineered solutions.
