Natural Fibre Technologies Information

It all started with a simple vision to use bio-waste to make useable goods. Natural Fibre Technologies is a continuation of TTS's drive to create partnerships for the commercialization of its sustainable biocomposite technologies. In 1998, Tam Tekle launched TTS-a research and development firm-with a deliberate intent to develop value-added products using by-products from forestry and agricultural production. The company quickly acquired an international reputation for technical and innovative excellence, building a list of consulting clients that include Canfor, Dieffenbacher, Domtar, International Paper, Modern Laminated Timber, Nelson Pine Industries, Schweitzer-Mauduit, and West Fraser Timber. By 2006, the company developed a suite of green building products, and began pursuing partnerships for commercial production. The first commercial spin-off, BioComposites Group, launched in 2013 and TTS led the development of the multi-million dollar engineered fibre mat plant in Drayton Valley, Alberta. Natural Fibre Technologies is a continuation of TTS's drive to create partnerships for the commercialization of their remaining sustainable biocomposites technology. NFT exists to pair TTS's unique products and technology provider with agricultural and production relationships across Western Canada. This makes Natural Fibre Technologies the first vertically integrated company in the world embracing the concept of "Whole Crop Utilization". What we do
