Curious to see how composite materials would behave in different forms, the teams at the time carried out a test on a Teflon pipe filled with carbon fibre, injected and heated. This is how the first evolution of Composites Busch was born: a carbon bike handlebar named \u201cBarflex\u201d. Thanks to this new product, news of the company\u2019s skills with composite technologies began to spread, slowly but surely.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Media coverage of this first invention reached the ears of officials at the local ice hockey club, who came up with a wild idea: what if one-piece ice hockey sticks could be made from composite materials to replace wooden sticks, which were too brittle when used in high-level sport?
