Company description
Bcomp is the leading solutions provider for natural fibre reinforcements in high-performance applications from race to space.
The company started as a garage project in 2011 with a mission to create lightweight yet high-performance skis. The bCores™ were launched and successfully adopted by some of the biggest names in freeride skiing. The founders, materials science PhDs from EPFL, used flax fibres to reinforce the balsa cores and improve shear stiffness. Impressed by the excellent mechanical properties of flax fibres, the development to create sustainable lightweighting solutions for the wider mobility markets started.
Today, Bcomp is a leader in natural fibre composites for sustainable lightweighting. Our solutions are found from sports and motorsports to automotive interiors, luxury sailing yachts, bridges and satellite panels.
We believe in providing solutions, combining product performance with deep engineering knowledge, marketing communications and customer support all the way from idea to final product.
