The idea

idb marine developed the Mojito 650, an environmentally friendly boat design for the mini class that is made with flax fabrics. For the French shipyard, it was clear that the realization of the Mojito 650 could complete the Mojito concept in the small cruise ship segment. The Mojito 650 offers the sailor the performance and strengths of the well-known Mojito concept with the panoramic roof and a lifting keel. This new boat is an intelligent addition to the Mojito family and promotes a resource-saving approach combined with excellent performance.

How SAERTEX^® reinforced this idea

In a further step towards sustainable production, SAERTEX and its French partner Terre de Lin have started a technical collaboration for the production of fabrics made of flax fibers for the industrial segment. The merger combines SAERTEX's expertise in reinforcement materials with the large capacity of one of the largest suppliers of sustainable flax fibers, Terre de Lin.
These flax fabrics form the basis for the Mojito 650 and enable the most sustainable production possible. Bio-based fibers help reduce overall energy consumption, are renewable and have minimal impact on the environment. These properties are in line with the SAERTEX vision “Innovation for a resource-saving future“, which aims to make a significant contribution to minimizing global resource consumption.
