About the company:

Founded in 2016, Boston Materials is a high-performance materials company that enables manufacturers of industrial and consumer products to break through their design trade-offs with new materials.

The company's patented Z-axis Fiber™ is a lightweight material that has an extraordinary ability to diffuse energy (thermal, electrical, structural). It is produced from reclaimed carbon fiber, enabling new, high-volume, energy-efficient products that have a low carbon footprint. Key applications include vehicle lightweighting and electronics thermal management.

By turning a $2B per year waste stream into high-value, advanced materials, Boston Materials is enabling the next generation of products and unlocking a circular economy.

Everything that we want to do in life depends on materials. Consider the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Age of Plastics – our evolution as a society is defined by the materials that we use. Products, from airplanes, electric vehicles, to semiconductor devices, are all enabled and limited by the materials that are available to us. Boston Materials is driven by the vision that creating novel materials will empower industry leaders to make new and better products.
