Prince Fibre, a Dutch family-run business specializes in fiber-reinforced profiles made from carbon, glass fiber and natural fiber, officially opened new production facility in Kampen, the Netherlands.

The new 3,700m² facility comprises a modern production hall, a spacious warehouse and professional office spaces. The expansion enables Prince Fibre to respond more quickly, produce larger batches and deliver more bespoke solutions to customers worldwide.

On March 20, His Majesty King Willem-Alexander attended the opening ceremony. Following the plenary program and the opening ceremony, King Willem-Alexander was given an extensive tour of the new factory hall.

Lighter, stronger, more sustainable

Prince Fibre produces composite profiles that outperform traditional materials such as steel, aluminum and wood in terms of weight, strength and lifespan. Through pultrusion — a continuous, automated production process — fibers are combined with high-quality resins to form profiles that can be up to 10 times stronger than steel for the same weight.

The profiles are used in a wide range of sectors: from robotic arms for the food industry and sills for the construction sector to trolleys for grass-growing lamps for professional sports pitches and tripods for industrial metrology.

Family business with international ambition

Prince Fibre is part of the Groothuis Group of companies based in Genemuiden. All profiles are developed and produced entirely in-house and are distributed throughout Europe. The family business also collaborates with Windesheim University of Applied Sciences to offer opportunities to the next generation within the group of companies.

With the opening of the new hall in Kampen, Prince Fibre is looking ahead to further growth in both the Dutch and international markets, with an increasing focus on sustainable biocomposite solutions based on natural fibers.
