Bcomp, SFG Composites to introduce flax fibre composites

Bcomp has announced a strategic partnership with Dubai-based SFG Composites to introduce flax fibre composites as a sustainable alternative for the automotive industry.

This collaboration aims to provide manufacturers with a high-performance, lightweight, and eco-friendly material that can replace traditional plastic, glass, and carbon fibre components. The initiative supports the automotive sector’s transition towards more sustainable vehicle production.

Bcomp’s ampliTex and powerRibs flax fibre technologies offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, superior vibration damping, and significant CO₂ reduction, making them ideal for interior and structural applications.

These bio-based materials not only enhance mechanical performance but also open new possibilities in automotive interior aesthetics, offering improved cosmetic options and durability. Leading automotive brands such as BMW, Cupra, and Volvo have already adopted Bcomp’s natural fibre composites.

“Automakers are striving to reduce their environmental footprint without compromising performance,” said Johann Wacht, Manager of Business Development and Strategic Customer Relationships at Bcomp. “Through our collaboration with SFG Composites, we can expand the use of natural fibre composites, providing a lightweight, high-performance solution that meets modern mobility needs.”
