What we do

Our solutions for large-scale mobility enable exceptional weight- and plastic reduction while improving crash behaviour and enabling novel design opportunities.

At Bcomp, we are keen to make an impact and be a part of the solution for cleaner mobility. Many of our operations are touching upon the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and we are not only looking to our own operations, but also to the significant impact we enable others to have over the lifecycle of the final products. Based on the UN SDGs, we are currently developing processes and KPIs to measure and proactively maximise Bcomp's and our customers’ impact of the ESG framework to drive a more sustainable future.

Our story
Sustainable lightweighting with natural fibre composites
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, material 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.
