Applications
Our material for industrial lightweight construction is used in numerous mobility applications. From caravans to buses and commercial vehicles: lightweight components in the exterior and interior benefit from the outstanding properties of our composite material.
Less weight with excellent mechanical characteristics. Lightweight components with our natural fibre composites improve vehicles: more payload, improved handling, greater range and compliance with EU requirements.
Our customers
Our material makes it
Difference
Our composite materials significantly reduce weight. Performance is comparable to fibre composites or aluminium. The properties of our material are convincing and offer a wide range of applications in the exterior and interior of vehicles. We achieve competitive costs thanks to our patented technology for processing natural fibres.
Our material brings measurable benefits
Lightweight construction that pays off – confirmed by successful projects with caravan, commercial vehicle and bus manufacturers. They benefit from more payload, higher range and lower operating costs – while securing competitive advantages in the market.
What Our Customers Say

Head of Sales
Suppliers of commercial vehicles
With lightweight construction made of natural fibres, we can offer our customers a clear competitive advantage: The material combines technical performance with sustainability. The strong interest from OEMs shows that we are on the right track here.
Manufacturing processes
Our natural fiber composite materials are developed for series production in industrial lightweight construction. In line with the requirements of our customers in terms of cycle times, volumes and material requirements, we offer the optimal solution. Our material is processed with the proven industrial manufacturing processes.
-
Out-of-autoclave (OoA) curing
The tailor-made prepregs are draped into the mold and cured under temperature with a classic vacuum setup for prepregs, without any autoclave. Alternatively, vacuum bag-only processes or reusable vacuum membranes can also be used for OoA processes.
- Low investment costs
- Also suitable for larger components
- Simple process control with usual vacuum setup
-
Hot pressing process
In the hot pressing process, our custom-made prepregs are placed directly into a heated tool and cured under pressure.
- Very short cycle times
- Very high fibre content
- Ideal for high volumes
-
Vacuum bag-only (VBO) curing
As in the out-of-autoclave process, the tailored prepregs are draped into the mold and then pressed with a vacuum bag. Consumables such as tear-off fabric, perforated film and flow aid are dispensed with.
- Very simple setup
- Low consumption costs
- Little waste
- Little equipment needed
-
Reusable vacuum hood
The process is similar to OoA or VBO but instead of disposable films, reusable vacuum hoods are used. This not only eliminates consumables, but also significantly reduces manual effort.
- Sustainable through reduced waste
- Fast construction
- Ideal for series production
Products
We select the right material for your lightweight application. Depending on your requirements, we will provide you with lightweight construction material that meets your load cases, unit numbers and budget.
By freely selecting the resin system, fibers and additives, we can realize a wide range of material properties. You can seamlessly integrate our material into your process chain.
Prepregs close to the final contour with complete layer construction, which you can further process into components using the current processes. Unlike standard prepreg rolled goods, you save production effort and material with us.
Robust cover layers of natural fibres with strong material properties. For maximum performance, we press our material under pressure with a sandwich core made of balsa wood, recycled PET or cardboard.
Components made of natural fibers for your applications. From CAD to mould construction to the implementation of series production, we enable sustainable lightweight construction.
Our mission
With innovative materials and solutions, we help to reduce dependence on non-European markets and expand Europe’s industrial independence.
At the same time, we consistently consider sustainability: resource conservation and environmental compatibility are not additives for us, but core to our development. This is how we create real added value for companies, employees, society and the environment.
Our partners
Our partnerships with industry and research are a key part of our success. Together, we develop solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing manufacturing processes and meet the highest industrial standards.
Working with a strong network enables us to implement new technologies faster and more successfully. This brings added value to our customers.
Sustainability that is measurable
Fibryx materials combine mechanical performance with environmental compatibility. Through the use of European natural fibres, bio-based resin systems and recyclable composites, we reduce the ecological footprint along the entire value chain.
Our natural fibre composites replace petrochemically based materials and significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Due to regional procurement and optimized production processes, emissions are reduced sustainably.
Fibryx materials do not emit substances of concern such as formaldehyde or styrene. They meet high health and safety standards and thus protect both production personnel and end users.
Our material enables the recovery of the contained carbon, which can be permanently supplied to the plastic cycle. A large proportion is bio-based and comes from the atmosphere, resulting in effective carbon storage.
