The Fiberforge Focus: Lightweighting Your World
For over ten years, the Fiberforge team has been driven by a single goal: Help customers leverage the benefits of thermoplastic advanced composites with a game-changing manufacturing technology. Our process enables customers to ‘lightweight’ end-use applications, save energy, minimize time-to-market and cut processing costs.
It's a complete package with a single focus — Lightweighting Your World.
History
Our story traces back to the 1990’s where, at the Rocky Mountain Institute in Snowmass, Colorado, our founders recognized a need for a manufacturing process that would enable the affordable use of advanced composites in the automotive industry. With such a process available, automakers could dramatically improve fuel efficiency simply by reducing the weight of the vehicle. The downstream benefits of such a technology include reduced fuel consumption, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and, of course, more affordable transportation globally.
While our roots are in the automotive industry, the aerospace, defense and consumer products industries have adopted Fiberforge technology to help improve fuel efficiency, reduce weight and improve safety. With rising fuel costs and energy demands affecting the global economy, the automotive industry is adopting advanced materials at an unprecedented rate. Fiberforge is leading the charge.
Amory Lovins, Fiberforge Chairman Emeritus, was instrumental in the development of the Fiberforge strategic vision. Mr. Lovins has been an influential voice in advocating “soft energy paths” for companies around the world. His commitment to energy-production concepts based on conservation, efficiency, and the use of renewable sources of energy helped build our foundation and shape our mission: Lightweighting Your World
