Peoria, IL-based Natural-Fiber-Welding Appointed Luke Haverhals as Founder and Chief Executive Officer
About the Company
As the supply of base materials, like petroleum, which are fundamental in the manufacture of synthetic materials, including polyester, continues to diminish, the world is facing a growing concern: continued growth and improvement of quality of life with limited access to key resources that are non-renewable, as well as harmful to the global environment. By working with plant based fibrous materials, our scientists and engineers are creating new opportunities to enhance and leverage the most plentiful and renewable resources on the planet for applications traditionally associated with synthetic products. It is our continued goal to develop solutions that can be implemented by communities across the economic spectrum using the most abundant local resources to create sustainable, scalable products that minimize processing and cost while improving quality and usability. We are built on a culture of open, agile exploration that enables our team of experts to aggressively pursue answers to the most complicated applications of naturally occurring fibrous materials. Whether it`s enhancing cotton to behave more like polyester with added anti-microbial properties for clinical use or strengthening and treating hemp to be used as a durable, low-cost building material, we are able to offer our partners and clients fully tested, nuanced solutions that are the key to improving quality of life for people around the world while reducing stresses on our environment.
