Holy Technologies to launch autonomous factory for composite components

Composite manufacturing has long struggled with scalability, speed, cost and material circularity. While automation has begun to increase, production remains heavily manual and expensive. Holy Technologies is taking automation a step further: by building a fully autonomous system with built-in circularity that will allow composite production to scale reliably, rapidly, cost-competitively and sustainably.

The company has raised €4.3 million to launch the world’s first autonomous factory for lightweight components. Powered by AI and robotics, the Hamburg-based facility will enable manufacturers to deliver superior components faster and at industrial scale. The new site, opening at the end of this year, marks the company’s first step toward bringing full autonomy and real circularity to composite manufacturing.

Backers include Rockstart, Vanagon, Sands, Innovationsstarter Fonds Hamburg and EIT Manufacturing alongside notable angel investors, including Adrian Locher (Merantix AG), Matthias Dantone (Ellipsis Ventures), Christian Vollmann (C1), Markus Kerkhoff (Poppe+Potthoff), Kai Müller (PowerCo), Timm Moll (Moll Gruppe) and several others.

“We are honored by the trust our investors have placed in us,” said Bosse Rothe Frossard, CEO and co-founder. “Together, we are more excited than ever to deliver innovations that give our customers a decisive edge.”

Autonomy enables manufacturers to innovate faster, reduce complexity and reduce costs. However, “Autonomous manufacturing is not just about efficiency,” said Moritz Reiners, CTO and co-founder. “It enables a new category of components that outperform on weight, performance, and sustainability. But the path to autonomy is complex. It requires systems built from scratch to deliver it. That is exactly what we are building.”

At the core of Holy Technologies’ approach is their proprietary Infinite Fiber Placement (IFP) technology. IFP places a continuous carbon fibre along a pre-calculated path, tailoring local properties, such as strength and stiffness, according to a part’s performance requirements. It enables precise fibre deposition in complex geometries, combining robotics with digital control to optimise performance and material efficiency. The system comes with integrated closed-loop recycling. This means that components can be fully recovered at end-of-life and reused in equivalent applications, avoiding downcycling. While Holy Technologies specialises in carbon fiber, the technology is designed to be material-agnostic: it scales across other composite materials.

Since its founding in 2022, Holy Technologies has built a fully operational pilot line, partnered with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers across automotive, motorsports, aerospace, industrial tools and orthopedics, and secured its first serial production contracts for thousands of parts. In a collaboration with a Formula 1 (trademark) team, the company validated a 20% weight reduction versus incumbent parts, demonstrating the performance potential of its technology.

“In industries where cost, materials, speed, and quality define competitiveness, Holy Technologies is changing the game. Their platform enables lightweight components at scale, with applications from aerospace to energy. Since our first investment, we have been impressed by the team’s rapid progress and ability to turn cutting-edge tech into real industrial impact. We are excited to double down as Holy sets a new standard for manufacturing.” – Gem Kua, Investment Manager, Rockstart

Holy Technologies envisions a future where autonomy unlocks the full potential of composites, free from today’s trade-offs. Their mission is to deliver radically better lightweight components by redefining composite manufacturing from the ground up.

about Holy Technologies
Holy Technologies’ ambition is to make composite manufacturing autonomous to help manufacturers build radically better lightweight products. The company is a European composite component manufacturer specialised in the automated production of high-performance carbon fibre parts for automotive, aerospace and industrial manufacturing. Their proprietary Infinite Fiber Placement (IFP) technology delivers lightweight components–cost-efficient, fast and at scale–with real recyclability at the end of life. Holy Technologies was founded by Bosse Rothe Frossard (CEO) and Moritz Reiners (CTO), who combine deep experience in venture building and composite engineering. Bosse is a serial entrepreneur who previously co-founded a software company in the recycling industry and helped scale multiple technology ventures. Moritz spent over a decade at Airbus, where he led automation and industrialisation efforts for advanced composite systems.
