Composites are made of fibers set in resin to give strength and shape. Composites have advantages of being light, requiring low maintenance, and allowing double curved forming and functional integration. NPSP Composites' vision is for bio-based composites to become the future low-carbon material. They produce complete façades and other large, light composite structures using production techniques that allow for visual options and elegant, bended designs. Their mission is to make sustainable composites common.
