Bcomp develops high-performance, bio-based natural fibre composites (notably powerRibs and ampliTex) that reduce plastic content and weight while enabling easier integration into volume production. Its materials are already used at industrial scale by OEMs such as Volvo and Polestar, with ampliTex applied in the Volvo EX30 and both products used by BMW for the M4 GT4. The company highlights certifications including IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 and reports cradle-to-gate CO2 reductions up to 60%, plastic-content reductions up to 70% for interiors, and weight savings up to 50% versus traditional materials. Bcomp plans to scale production capacity to convert an advanced pipeline of commercial automotive opportunities and to expand into additional verticals including rail, buses, aviation, aerospace and consumer goods. The company also intends to support market entry in Asia and North America as part of its growth strategy. Bcomp develops and sells sustainable lightweighting solutions built on proprietary natural-fibre reinforcement technologies ampliTex™ and powerRibs™. Its natural-fibre composites aim to reduce cradle-to-gate emissions, enable dematerialisation, and offer improved vibration damping versus conventional composites. The company serves automotive, aerospace, mobility, maritime, infrastructure, and athletics customers, including BMW, Volvo Cars, and Porsche AG. Bcomp provides engineering support from idea to final part from its Fribourg headquarters. Its technologies originated from a 2011 garage project to create lightweight skis. The company plans to use new funding to scale its workforce, increase domestic and global production capacity, and strengthen its commercial footprint.
