We design and manufacture products from prototype to production. Biocomposites have an organic natural look that communicates sustainability.Our biodegradable resin is very suitable to utilize as a natural non-abrasive reinforcement material in the polymer composite. Hemp provides a durable strength and stiffness for reinforcement; owing to the strong hydrogen bonds. In result, the composite matrices attributes to higher physical and mechanical properties. Our environmentally friendly resin is ideal for high strength, low respiratory irritation and equipment wear. The renewable hemp fibers have low densities, low cost, high specific properties and their non-abrasive nature have both economic and environmental benefits in automotive, building, furniture and packaging industries.

"In 1972, AKZO developed its first para-aramid. In 1982 it was decided to start with its commercial production. In the meantime, the new fiber had been renamed Twaron, and forecasts for the product were better than ever before. In 1986, the new plants in Delfzijl and Emmen began production. The first spool, which was made using raw materials from Delfzijl, came off the spinning machine in May 1986. Twaron entered the market one year later. In 2000, Teijin Ltd. took over all Twaron activities. This marked the start of a series of successful and ambitious investments and expansions. Teijin Aramid now markets four different brands of aramid worldwide. Twaron is by far our strongest brand.
