Fiber composite technology company Fassmer (Berne, Germany) and Greenboats (Bremen, Germany) announce a formal partnership to enhance sustainable manufacturing technologies in Germany. Greenboats will establish the production of its ecological composite materials at Fassmer’s facility, thus creating a globally distinctive manufacturing site, distinguished by its production scope and sustainability.
This cooperation merges Fassmer’s decades of experience in composite technologies with Greenboats’ expertise in developing natural fiber composites. As part of the agreement, a production facility, designed to manufacture natural fiber-reinforced composite laminates up to 6 × 2.5 meters, and characterized by the use of eco-friendly flax fibers and bio-based resins, will be constructed. It will ultimately produce products with significantly reduced CO2 footprints and set recycling benchmarks.
Both companies highlight the significance of the partnership between Greenboats and Fassmer in industrializing new materials and meeting the increasing demand for sustainable products. Friedrich J. Deimann, founder and CEO of Greenboats, stresses the need for foresight, courage and strong partnerships to achieve ambitious goals, while Sven Sperling, director of operations for Fassmer, emphasizes combining experience, consistency and high quality with innovation and sustainability to tackle future challenges and provide a sustainable product portfolio to customers.
