Load-Path-Optimized Composite Structures

We align fibers precisely along the actual load paths within a component. This enables maximum structural performance while minimizing material usage and weight.

Unique TFP Expertise

More than 120 years of embroidery heritage combined with modern Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP) create a level of expertise that no other composite manufacturer can match.

Swiss Precision Meets Industrial Scalability

Swiss engineering and quality standards are combined with scalable, highly repeatable manufacturing processes and global production efficiency.

From Engineering to Series Production

We support our customers comprehensively and end-to-end – from component design and tool development to prototypes and scalable, quality-assured series production.

History

From Haute-Couture to High-Tech

Our story begins in St. Gallen, where embroidery has shaped the region for generations. As part of the Forster Group, BIONTEC builds on this rich textile heritage and more than a century of embroidery expertise.

Close-up of the embroidery technology: continuous fibers precisely placed on a backing material at BIONTEC

In 2009, the idea emerged to give this long-standing embroidery tradition a new application: What if embroidery technology could be used not only for textiles, but also to precisely place technical fibers such as carbon fibers? This idea led to the founding of BIONTEC – and to our approach of load-path-optimized fiber placement for composite components.

Today, we carry this heritage into the future. BIONTEC develops and manufactures tailored composite solutions for the world’s most demanding industries, combining engineering expertise, precise fiber placement, and automated series production.
