Sqm Manufacturing
Working in depth with sector leaders, we have world leading cross-functional knowledge and expertise in design methodology, materials composition and manufacturing processes — delivering significant advantages in performance, productivity and efficiency to each sector.
Heritage
Landmark Developments
Since 1975 we have worked in partnership with the world's leading architects, consultants, contractors, rail rolling stock builders, industrial process designers and renewable energy specialists to create bespoke composites for a new generation of iconic buildings, industrial components and advanced transport networks.
Today, you'll find our advanced composites at work in the key landmarks and transport systems of many of the world's major cities. Our structures include the world's largest composite dome, the world's largest composite roofing system, and composite claddings on landmark sports stadia, university facilities and supertall buildings.
R&D
Driven by Innovation
Today's composites are designer materials, offering boundless possibilities. Driven by a vision to harness these possibilities, BFG invests heavily in research and development to lead the way in new design methodologies, high performance materials, manufacturing processes and product systems.
Over the years, innovation has become our hallmark, leading to pioneering advances including the development of our own unique material systems, manufacturing processes and patented technologies. Our dedicated R&D centre in Strasbourg is working in partnership with universities, laboratories and designers to develop revolutionary new technologies.
Heritage
From the TGV in France to the KAFD World Trade Centre in Saudi Arabia — our advanced composites are at work in the key landmarks and transport systems of many of the world's major cities.
Global Presence
Global Footprint. International Reach.
What makes us genuinely different is our presence in diverse sectors along with a global footprint — and our proximity to you. BFG has fabrication facilities in Bahrain, France, Spain, USA, Brazil, China, India, the Philippines and South Africa, covering more than 100,000 sqm of manufacturing space.
We offer global sourcing, regionalised manufacturing, localised delivery and installation of world class composites.

Partnership
Serving the World's Leading Architects
We've worked in partnership with key players in architecture and infrastructure since 1975. We work with leading architects, consultants, contractors and governments around the world, delivering bespoke composites for facades and claddings, structural roofing systems, domes and ceilings.
Our role has been pioneering — from the development of long span composite primary structures to lightweight fire retardant materials. Today you'll see our advanced composites in structures designed or built by many of the world's leading creative architects and consultants.
End to End
Conception to Completion
At BFG, we deliver the full life cycle of services: conceptualisation, modelling, iterative design development, systems and process engineering, structural design, material and product development, testing, sampling, prototyping and product manufacture, all the way to delivery and installation.
Our team of over 100 talented and skilled engineers, backed by expert leadership, roots its design and engineering methodology in a wealth of experience in materials and processes. With over 50 years of project records and hundreds of successful independent full scale load tests, our engineers have decades of technical data and insights to draw on.
