The Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp at JEC World 2025: Flax fiber in the spotlight
JEC World 2025, the major international event for composite materials, once again highlighted natural fibers as the solutions of the future. Among the players involved, the Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp gathered its members in the Natural Fibre Village, an area dedicated to innovations in flax and hemp. This presence testifies to the growing importance of bio-sourced composites in meeting environmental and industrial challenges.
As an active member of the Alliance, DEMGY took advantage of the event to present Flaxcomp®, its innovative flax fiber-based composite solution. Combining technical performance and durability, Flaxcomp® perfectly illustrates the industry's progress towards more responsible materials, adapted to the needs of a wide range of sectors including automotive, sports and construction.

Applications Diversifiées de la Fibre de Lin
Thanks to its mechanical and ecological properties, flax fibre can be used in many sectors:
Mobility and Transport
In the automotive industry, flax fiber composites are used to manufacture interior parts, helping to lighten vehicles and improve energy efficiency. The aeronautics sector is also interested in these materials for mechanical and aesthetic components, while the shipbuilding industry adopts them for the construction of boat hulls, benefiting from their lightness and strength.
Sport and Leisure
Sports equipment benefits from the vibration-damping properties of flax fiber. Brands such as Babolat have incorporated flax reinforcements into their rackets, improving player comfort. Similarly, manufacturers of skis and snowboards use linen to offer products with enhanced performance and durability.
Construction and Interior Design
Flax is also prized in the construction sector for its thermal and sound insulation qualities. Flax-based composite materials are used for partition panels, insulation and even designer furniture, combining aesthetics with respect for the environment.
Notable presence at JEC World 2025
At JEC World 2025, the Alliance for European Flax-Linen & Hemp organized a space dedicated to natural fibers, the "Natural Fibre Village". This 250 m² space brought together nine Alliance members, including DEMGY, showcasing a varied range of flax and hemp-based composite materials and products. Visitors were able to discover innovations for the automotive, architecture and industrial design sectors, illustrating the immense potential of these natural fibers.
