Strong by Form

We combine nature and technology through our Strong by Form bonds initiative to create a sustainable future. Our innovative Woodflow technology enables us to produce biocomposites that are lightweight yet strong enough to replace materials like aluminum and fiber reinforced plastics on vehicles, as well as steel and concrete in buildings. By incorporating the efficiency of trees' structures, we have developed a design-to-fabrication process that uses optimization tools, artificial intelligence, and proprietary additive manufacturing. This allows us to create timber-based composites that have the same performance as other structural materials, but at a significantly lighter weight and with reduced environmental impact. Our focus is on the sustainable lightweight material market, which enables vehicles to travel longer distances and buildings to use fewer raw materials. We believe that Woodflow's combination of high-performance, sustainability, and productivity will revolutionize the construction and mobility industries.
