Kindred spirits: Bcomp

Being an innovator means plenty of challenges. But it also means plenty of “eureka” moments.

When Swiss natural fibre firm Bcomp came up with the idea of using fully sustainable flax to create high-performance composite materials, it was one of these moments (or whatever the local equivalent of “eureka” is in Switzerland). 

When we came up with the idea of using these composites in the Polestar Precept, it was another one of these moments. Learn all about Bcomp above.
