October 22, 2013 - Switzerland

Bcomp presented composite applications of flax at the "Flachsbrächete" in Emmental.

All steps of the traditional flax production - ranging from flax farming to weaving - were presented at this popular event organised by Niutex, an organisation aiming at bringing flax and its supply chain back to Switzerland.  

About Bcomp:

Bcomp 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.
