Everyone in this industry will tell you to pick two: fast, precise, or affordable. We just refused to pick.

Fibionic, based in Götzens, Tirol, has developed Fastest Fiber Placement, a manufacturing process that places carbon fibre along load paths, reducing cycle times to as little as one minute and enabling optimised composites to be produced at lower cost than conventional alternatives at scale. Founded by Thomas Rettenwander, Johannes Mandler and Elias Hirschbichler, the company already supplies serial-production parts to manufacturers such as Selle Italia. Its thesis is simple: by dramatically lowering the cost and time required to manufacture composites, performance, sustainability, and affordability no longer have to be traded off against one another.
