The Origin
of Change

Throughout the development of fiber-composite materials from palm residues, we have gained valuable technical and material expertise. Our fully integrated pilot and research facility in Haag, Germany, forms the foundation of our innovation work.

In close cooperation with plant engineers and binder manufacturers, we have developed, tested, and continually optimized our processes. The facility has been expanded step by step since 2021 and now forms the core of our R&D activities.

Covering approx. 5,000 m² of production space, the pilot plant reaches an annual capacity of around 7,500 tons.

It includes the entire process chain — fiber preparation, resin application, drying, dosing, high-pressure pressing, energy systems, and filtration — fully designed for industrial-scale continuous production.

Additional equipment is available for material refinement. Around 400 tons of raw materials from various regions (Southeast Asia, MENA, Latin America) are constantly on hand to test formulations and processes under real conditions.

A major focus is the transition to 100% bio-based binders. By adapting processes originally designed for chemical binders (formaldehyde-based), we successfully converted our production to fully bio-based operation — without compromising quality or performance.

The plant also supports pre-series production for market introduction and optimization of future large-scale factories. It is used to train personnel and simulate industrial operations. An additional technical center enables laboratory-scale product development — the ideal step before pilot-scale production.
