BFG specializes in the design and production of fiber reinforced polyester (FRP) and other composite moldings to a designer's specifications virtually without restraint with regard to finish, color and shape.

Having pioneered major improvements in material engineering and durability, color retention, fire retarding characteristics and industrial monitoring techniques, BFG has increased the number of critical and environmental applications in which composites are now being used. Because of this, BFG is internationally reputed as a pioneering and leading manufacturer of high quality FRP custom moldings.

From initial discussions with the client we can propose designs for any particular application, or we can work with the client and advise on design criteria for such matters as moldability and suitability for the end use.

A fully computerized factory data acquisition system is used to strictly monitor quality control to ensure that the highest standard of finished product is obtained. This enables us to dispatch the products from the factory, confident that dimensionally, structurally and aesthetically they are in perfect condition.

BFG employs a comprehensive range of molding processes, from open-contact molding, which is used for the majority of the world's composites production, to state-of-the-art vacuum assisted resin injection.

Due to the full array of processing possibilities available to us, we can offer the optimum process for every product in order to achieve the required specifications.
