The new HPC hockey stick from Composites Busch, one of the leading manufacturer of high-performance composite materials.

Thanks to innovative micro-sandwich flax-carbon, this hockey stick sets new benchmarks in ice hockey with its optimal feeling and unequaled vibration dampening.

A flax braid provided by Bcomp helps absorbing double the vibrations from a conventional carbon composite stick, significantly improving the comfort for the players. Julien Vauclair, member of the last World Championship's all Star Team, took full advantage of the performance of this stick during the World Championship in Sweden.

About us:

Our fine organization is based in Fribourg, Switzerland. Its history goes back to 2003, when one of the founders was producing the first fat powder skis on a carbon fibre base. Two ambitious engineers contacted him to improve the existing ski core structure.

With plenty of endurance during infinite garage research nights and powder weekends, the friends developed novel fibre composite technologies and discovered the advantages of natural fibres. This was the spark for the idea to produce performing sustainable products for the Sports & Leisure industry.
