PURPOSE: To achieve the conservation of space and reduction of cost of the apparatus as a whole by reducing the loosening of a hoop material to a large extent.

CONSTITUTION: A hoop composite processing apparatus consists of a pressing machine for press processing and a molding machine applying resin molding processing to a press processed product and a series of processings applying resin molding processing to the press processed product by the molding machine are continued by successively transferring a hoop material 20. As the pressing machine and the molding machine, a horizontal pressing machine 21 and a horizontal molding machine 22 both of which have molds horizontally movable with respect to an arranging surface 28 are used to transfer the hoop material 20 successively so as to hold the plane thereof to the posture vertical to the arranging surface 28.
