Wildfibre® was founded in 2006, primarily to develop and bring to market a new, high performance concrete-reinforcing macrofiber which is in a family of fiber morphology known as “bone-shaped-fibers” (BSF’s).

Wildfibre® owns exclusive rights to the patent pending technology and processes for producing BSF’s. The BSF fiber technology was created at Los Alamos National Laboratories. The right to the technology for the machine that manufactures the BSF’s is owned by Wildfibre®.

A 2007 USDA investment through the Rural Business Enterprise Grant and technical assistance from Montana Manufacturing Extension Center and Ravalli County Economic Development Authority (RCEDA) have helped this company diversify and add value to Montana’s construction/manufacturing industry.

The investment in Wildfibre® resulted not only in the growth of the principal company but it has provided an opportunity for another Ravalli County business, Bitterroot Tool and Machine Company to add jobs through a manufacturing licensing agreement with Wildfibre®.

Wildfibre® is in the process of obtaining further testing which will be done by the widely recognized world expert on FRC (fiber reinforced concrete), British Columbia University’s Dr. Nemi Banthia.
