Blackwave is a lightweight construction company that develops and produces high-performance components made of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) for automotive, aerospace, medical technology, sports equipment and mechanical engineering sectors. The company specializes in Carbon-Sheet Moulding Compound (C-SMC) technology, which enables the production of highly complex 3D geometries that cannot be manufactured with conventional carbon manufacturing processes. Founded in 2016, Blackwave has secured significant funding including a recent $6.6 million seed extension round in March 2024 led by Alpine Space Ventures, bringing their total funding to over €10 million. The company has evolved from motorsport carbon components to become a leading force in aerospace, particularly specializing in composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) for space applications.
