WHAT I DISCOVERED WAS A WORLD OF POSSIBILITY — AND A COMPANY THAT TRULY VALUES PRACTICAL THINKING, AGILITY, AND PARTNERSHIP.

At SFG Composites, we don’t just manufacture advanced materials. We solve problems.

If you had told me a few years ago that I’d be leading business development in the composites industry, I might have raised an eyebrow. Coming from a long-standing career in the automotive sector, composites weren’t exactly on my radar — until a former colleague and friend, Renske, encouraged me to explore this world.

To be honest, I didn’t know much about composites at the time. But what I discovered was a world of possibility — and a company that truly values practical thinking, agility, and partnership.

At SFG Composites, we don’t just manufacture advanced materials. We solve problems. We push boundaries. And we collaborate — with clients, suppliers, even competitors — to drive our industry forward.

I was immediately struck by the openness of the team, the flexibility in our processes, and the shared drive to find smart, effective solutions through collaboration. It’s not something you see every day, and it’s exactly what makes working here so rewarding.

What we do is not always easy — but it’s always meaningful.

We continuously invest in improving our machinery, refining our production processes, enhancing the quality of our raw materials, and growing the skills of our team. It’s all with one goal: to deliver the highest quality, most durable composites — with the lowest environmental impact possible.

But beyond the materials, it’s the people who make the difference. Whether it’s a prospective partner brand, a long-term client, or a supplier, we treat every relationship as a collaboration. We’re in it for the long term, and we believe in growing together. When visitors come to our facility, they often say the same thing: they’re amazed at how quickly we make things happen — and how many fresh ideas we bring to the table.

That’s what fuels my passion.

Every day, I’m motivated by the energy, drive, and creativity of the people I get to work with — both inside and outside our company. We share a mindset: that composites aren’t just materials, but a smarter, stronger, and more sustainable way forward.

Together, we’re not just responding to industry needs — we’re shaping the future of it.
So whether you’re looking to create high-performance products, reduce environmental impact, or find a partner who understands the value of true collaboration — I’d love to connect.

Because when practical thinking meets shared purpose, there’s no challenge too complex, and no idea too ambitious.
