Composites Evolution (Chesterfield / UK; www.compositesevolution.com), a supplier of sustainable materials to the composites industry, has appointed Jaycomp Oy (Nokia / Finland; www.jacomp.fi/en) as the distributor of its “Biotex” range of natural fibre reinforcements in Finland and Estonia. The materials – based on natural, bio-derived, recycled and recyclable feedstocks – are specifically designed for composite material processes and help reduce weight, improve sustainability and enhance aesthetics, Composites Evolution said. This makes them suitable for a range of applications, from construction to sporting goods.

Commenting on the agreement, Jacomp Oy CEO Jukka Alkkiomäki said, “we are always aiming at staying on the edge of development and environmentally friendly natural fibre products have a growing demand in Finland and Estonia where people pay a lot of attention to green values.” Gordon Bishop, managing director at Composites Evolution, said, “Our customers in Finland and Estonia are sure to profit from [Jaycomp’s] fast and flexible delivery and competitive pricing.”
