Flash back to October 2009…

First bobin of first roving made in the craft laboratory at the beginning of researches

This means 16 years ago… What!? Yes, 16 years ago we did our first testing with direct rovings from Volcanic fibre.

From the very first moment it was a hard way because we were nearly too early with our vision of a full sustainable composite, means not only the fibre! But even with “only” the fibre we had to “fight against the mainstream”. Finally, and especially, based on the great cooperation with Isomatex, which developed TENRON®, bto-epoxy and 3AComposites it was possible to reach the goal.

And now, 16 years later, what I nearly can`t believe, we can present you in parallel to the preparation of our Open60 AAL for the next ANT ARCTIC LAB record attempt, and the preparation of our next new design line, the world’s first fully sustainable AND bio-based composite concept!

Many many thanks to all our partners who have made this success possible and you can be sure, “we never give up” and keep on going! The first official presentation of materials will be at the BOOT 2026 in Düsseldorf, therefore “stay tuned” and visit us at the BOOT.
