Greenboats and Cobra partner up to offer custom Natural Fibre Composites (NFC) components at scale

Greenboats is a technology company that focuses on sustainable composites and brings its leading processing know-how and product development infrastructure to the partnership. As part of the Greenboats product development process, each product undergoes a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which allows clients to compare the costs, performance, and sustainability of different manufacturing options. In parallel, Cobra, a leading composite producer, brings its production scale and decades-long reputation as one of the worldwide leading OEM suppliers, to the partnership.

The partnership will enable both companies to leverage their strengths, creating a new standard in custom NFC components at scale. Customers will benefit from the combined strengths of the two companies, increasing the pace of product development and possible scale of production.

“Our partnership with Cobra allows us to focus on our strengths in technology and product development, while Cobra scales up production to meet the increasing demand for sustainable composite components,” said Jan Paul Schirmer, Managing Director of Greenboats.

“We are excited to work with Greenboats. They are real pioneers when it comes to NFC. Together we can continue to lower the barriers to entry for sustainable composites and boost the adoption of innovative NFC solutions,” said Danu Chotikapanich, CEO of Cobra.

The partnership started earlier this year with a first customer project, a home charging unit for Electric Cars (Wallbox). The Unit will be displayed on the Cobra booth hall 6, stand E28 at JEC World in Paris, taking place 25-27 April 2023.
