 "We’re going to make natural fiber composites a mainstream material in every industry.”

INCA Renewable Technologies today emerged from stealth mode to announce it has secured the land to build a large-scale manufacturing facility in Elkhart County, Indiana (USA) that will process thousands of tons of hemp fiber into high performance bio-composite panels and pellets for the transportation, consumer plastics and building materials industries.

INCA also announced an exclusive sales agreement with Genesis Products, which provides design and engineering, advanced materials expertise and manufacturing facilities to Fortune 200 companies in the RV, building materials, transportation and furniture industries.
The company, said INCA’s Chairman and CEO, David Saltman has built a team with decades of proven experience delivering natural fiber composites to the automotive industry along with deep expertise in plant genomics, fiber processing and hemp cultivation.
“We have the capability, the proven track record and the proprietary technology to solve some of the most complex material and performance challenges of our time including replacement of glass reinforced plastics and plywood and achieving carbon neutrality.”
INCA BioPanels are initially intended to replace the plywood currently being used in RV and truck trailer construction. Jon Wenger, CEO of Genesis Products said his company had long be looking for a composite panel product that could reduce vehicle weight, increase strength and safety, improve thermal and acoustic properties and reduce impact on the environment. “Our new partnership with INCA Renewtech further powers our ability to incorporate best-in-class materials into our engineered solutions for our customers.”

INCA BioPanels will have application in the furniture and flooring industries, as well as Hollywood movie sets. The company is also developing proprietary formulations for the automotive and consumer plastics industries. INCA BioPlastics compounded pellets will enable manufacturers to substitute a bio-based solution for glass reinforced plastics (GRP), without significant modification to their manufacturing lines.
INCA’s President and CTO, Garry Balthes is proud of the company’s proprietary technology and the expertise of our team. “Throughout my career I have focused on solving the most complex materials challenges in the transportation industry – particularly in the bio-composites field,” he said. “We’re going to make natural fiber composites a mainstream material in every industry.”
