Company Profile

By 1989, Fiberspar had proved the base technology of producing continuous fiber-reinforced products, and the company's sports business became the world leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance fiber-reinforced composite tubing used for windsurfing masts, hockey sticks, and yacht battens. Because of unique technology and superior performance, Fiberspar® products were used by twelve consecutive world champions in windsurfing, three consecutive leading scorers in the National Hockey League, and three consecutive winning America's Cup teams. Management successfully sold the sporting goods division in May 2000 to focus its resources on the much larger oil and gas market.
