What is so unique about fully integrated business model?

Our aim is not only to sell a product. But also to offer a fully integrated core solution with the lowest Total Cost of Ownership or lower indirect material cost.

3A Composites Core Materials is the only company in the balsa business with a fully integrated business model – we manage balsa from the seed to the core material, fully traceable! More than 3 million trees are prepared for planting every year while our harvest degrade is lower than our biomass increase.

Only the best balsa wood trees are ready for our world-class manufacturing industrial process where density-controlled wood is combined with industry-leading performance – literally an unparalleled commitment to sustainability in the industry.



For sure, modern times and developments help us to fulfill the requirements of our customers’ demanding markets. Our R&D centers for balsa are as crucial as our seed nurseries, careful selections, and bio-enhanced plant breeding program.



Harvested after 4 - 5 years and kiln-dried in an industrial, carefully monitored process, the final density sorting allows creating a homogeneous product from an inhomogeneous material while working with lean manufacturing and quality management principles. With integrated kits manufacturing directly at balsa production facilities (KITS@SOURCE), we offer additional customer-tailored supply in an efficient process and the highest level of added value directly from the source.

Our aim is not only to sell a product. But also to offer a fully integrated core solution with the lowest Total Cost of Ownership or lower indirect material cost. You see, we take more steps and know how to master balsa, not only for us but also for our customers.
