What NPSP B. V. does
NPSP B.V. is a Dutch specialist materials company developing and commercializing biobased and circular fiber-reinforced composites under the Nabasco brand, with applications in facades, traffic signs, street furniture, transport components, and interior products. Founded in 1998 in Amsterdam and now headquartered in Delft, the company operates four proprietary material grades — Nabasco 5010, 8010, 9010 and 10010 — that combine natural fibers (flax, hemp, reed, jute, sisal, recycled textile) with biobased or largely biobased thermosetting and thermoplastic resins, plus fillers derived from local waste streams such as drinking-water softening lime and recycled cellulose from sewage treatment. Finished products include NabascoSign traffic signs (Cradle to Cradle Bronze certified) and the BioFold wall-finish system.
The company generates revenue through direct project-based sales of materials and finished products to Dutch public-sector buyers (ProRail, Rijkswaterstaat, municipalities, water boards) and enterprise customers (NS, Pastoe, Studio Marco Vermeulen), supplemented by material-development and consulting services towards 100% biobased and circular formulations. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution runs partly through direct sales and partly via channel partnerships — notably a joint venture with POL Heteren for traffic-sign distribution in the Netherlands and an OEM production partnership with Lorenz Kunststofftechnik in Germany — while manufacturing is executed at a sister-company pilot factory, Nabasco Products B.V., launched at the Delft site in 2024. NPSP holds a 2018 patent on Nabasco 8010 and maintains research collaborations with TU Delft, KU Leuven, Avantium, and several applied-science institutions.

Product offeringCore offering
NPSP develops, engineers, and sells biobased and circular fiber-reinforced composite materials under the Nabasco brand (grades N5010, 8010, 9010, and 10010), made by combining natural fibers (flax, hemp, reed, jute, sisal, recycled textile) with biobased or waste-stream-derived thermosetting and thermoplastic resins. The company produces finished products such as biobased traffic signs (NabascoSign) and biodegradable wall finishes (BioFold), and delivers custom facade panels, street furniture, acoustic panels, and transport components for construction, public space, design, and mobility clients. As a one-stop-shop, NPSP also offers material development, product engineering, and project realization services to convert client residues into circular biomaterials.
Product overview
NPSP B. V. offers a portfolio of biobased and circular composite materials and products under the Nabasco brand, including four material grades (N5010, 8010, 9010, and 10010) with varying biobased content levels (44%-100%), finished products such as NabascoSign traffic signs and BioFold wall finishes, and three service offerings: Material Development, Product Engineering, and Project Realisation. The materials utilize natural fibers (flax, hemp, reed) combined with biobased resins derived from waste streams including drinking water softening lime, recycled cellulose from sewage treatment, and residual materials from biofuel and sugar industries.

NPSP B. V. competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- HempFlax: Dutch hemp-fiber processor supplying fibers for biocomposites, insulation, and other applications. Comparable as an upstream natural-fiber value-chain partner/competitor relevant to NPSP's use of hemp in Nabasco 8010.
- GreenBoats: German boat builder using bio-based and natural-fiber composites (flax, cork, bio-resins). Comparable as a small, design-led European user/applier of bio-based composites — NPSP's historical roots (Flax Cat catamaran) overlap with this segment.
Direct peers
- Bcomp: Swiss maker of natural-fiber (flax) composites for mobility, sports, and automotive interior applications. Most directly comparable to NPSP's Nabasco 5010/8010 in technology (natural fiber + bio-based resin) and target end markets such as transport and sports equipment.
- Tecnaro: German bioplastics and biocomposites developer (Arboform, Arboblend, Arbofill) producing natural-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics and bioresins. Directly comparable to NPSP's Nabasco 9010/10010 thermoplastic grades and serves similar European industrial customers.
- Lineo (Saint-Florent Group): French flax-fiber specialist producing nonwovens and preforms for biocomposites in automotive and construction. Comparable as a flax-fiber value-chain peer supplying similar end markets to NPSP's Nabasco 5010/8010.
- EconCore: Belgian developer of honeycomb/sandwich panel technology often combined with natural-fiber or bio-based composite skins. Comparable as a European lightweight biocomposite panel technology peer relevant to NPSP's Light/Strong variants of Nabasco 5010.
- EcoTechnilin: French producer of flax-fiber nonwovens and biocomposites for automotive, construction, and consumer applications. Closely aligned with NPSP on flax-based raw material sourcing and composite panel product lines.
Broad incumbents
- Trex Company: US-listed incumbent and largest North American producer of wood-plastic composite decking and railing. Comparable as a large-scale WPC incumbent but in a different geography; relevant for understanding competitive dynamics if NPSP scales in outdoor construction.
- UPM Biocomposites: Division of UPM-Kymmene producing wood-plastic composite panels (e.g., UPM ProFi) for outdoor and construction applications. Operates at a much larger scale than NPSP and competes on similar decking/facade use cases, but with wood-plastic rather than natural-fiber-bioresin chemistry.
Regional players
- Fiberon: North American WPC decking manufacturer serving residential and commercial outdoor construction. Comparable on wood-plastic composite technology but operates regionally in a different market from NPSP's European infrastructure focus.
