The company distributes a broad composite materials portfolio — unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins, epoxy systems, gelcoats and topcoats, reinforcements, core materials, bonding pastes, vacuum consumables, fire retardant systems (BÜFA Firestop), release agents (Chem-Trend), initiators, and BÜFA TEC machinery — alongside partner-manufactured lines from 3A Composites, AOC, Nidaplast, Metyx, Resoltech, Aeropreg, Pai Cristal, United Initiators, ITW Performance Polymers, and EcoTechnilin. Differentiated proprietary systems include the BÜFA VE-Tooling Gelcoats (claimed to reduce mould production from one week to one day) and the BÜFA Conductive Tooling System, a carbon nanotube-enabled tooling gelcoat with 10^6 Ω resistance that is TÜV-certified for use in EX zones 2, 1, and 0.

The company serves manufacturers across automotive and transportation, wind energy, marine, building and construction, rail vehicles, sanitary, swimming pools, tanks and pipes, sport and leisure, and aerospace use cases. The go-to-market model is sales-led, with named territory sales managers for Estonia (Martin Lutsoja), Latvia and Lithuania (Egidijus Kerdokas), additional sales representatives (Anastassia Rudomin, Mikk Niinesalu), and customer service (Maria Garmaš). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing is delivered through a five-language corporate website (English, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Russian) and an extensive downloadable brochure library. The company reports a sustainability positioning anchored by over 50% cobalt-free products, approximately 40% of eco-based raw materials sourced from recycled inputs, and a foaming resin system capable of up to 45% part weight reduction.

BÜFA Composites Baltic OÜ is structured as a wholly owned subsidiary of BÜFA Group, a family-owned enterprise with a generational operating philosophy. No public listing, external funding rounds, or M&A transactions are disclosed. The company maintains a single office and warehouse location in Estonia, with no subsidiaries of its own.
