Natural Fibre Composites in Action The Green Nacelle - a finalist for the 2021 JEC Innovation Awards - has recently been delivered to the client DOT (Delft Offshore Turbine). The full natural fibre composite nacelle has been designed and built by German company GREENBOATS with Bcomp's ampliTex™ technical flax fabrics and Sicomin's bio-based GreenPoxy resin systems, making it the largest offshore natural fibre composite structure to date. Thorough Testing Program The Green Nacelle has now been installed onshore and is currently undergoing an intense testing program. Once this first series of tests is completed, the natural fibre composite (NFC) structure will be transported to its offshore location where the Green Nacelle will serve its purpose in the production of renewable wind energy. Once the nacelle reaches its end-of-life, it will be dismantled and, thanks to the unique construction from large NFC sandwich panels, recycled and reused for new applications, prolonging the useful life of the materials.           Previous Next Learn More If you want to learn more about this interesting project and how the Green Nacelle was made, make sure to check out the original news article and press release: Natural fibre composite Green Nacelle nominated as a finalist for the JEC Innovation Awards

Taking it to the next level In the course of its ongoing scale-up phase, Bcomp Ltd has reinforced its commitment to the city of Fribourg. In a recent step of expansion, Bcomp has established a new production facility in the heart of Fribourg. The new location allows the company to explore new ways of producing its natural fibre solutions for the global mobility market and to create a scalable production process. The state-of-the-art facility serves to produce our thermoplastic powerRibs™ technology for the large-scale mobility market. From the impregnation of the yarn to the knitting of our patented reinforcement grid - everything happens in-house, allowing us to fully control and optimise the process from start to finish. Committing to local production Locating a new production facility in a high-wage country like Switzerland may seem like an unusual choice. However, the facility is highly automated and requires relatively few but highly skilled operators. By co-locating the R&D and production teams in Fribourg Bcomp will be able to produce for customers while constantly optimising the process and the products. Bcomp’s CEO, Christian Fischer, comments: “When founding Bcomp, we selected Fribourg as the location for our facility because the city and its surroundings are quickly becoming a hub for innovation, know-how, and forward-looking companies. The great connections to all parts of Switzerland allow us to attract the highly qualified teammates we need from all the main population centres in Western and Central Switzerland." A thriving and supportive city This facility was made possible, in part, due to the continuous support of local actors like the Fribourg Development Agency, Friup and Capital Risque Fribourg. Bcomp is committed to operating with a high level of quality. And to that end, alongside the investment in the new production facility, Bcomp also became ISO 9001 certified.
