Our History

The Beginning

Where Groundbreaking Technology Took Shape

Oxeon was founded in 2003 in Sweden, but the roots of its technology go back to the mid 1990s, when Dr. Nandan Khokar invented the pioneering Tape Weaving Technology. The idea originated when a professor at a university in the United Kingdom approached him with a weaving challenge. When they met again, Nandan had created a completely new method of weaving with flat tapes instead of traditional tows, opening new possibilities for strength, weight reduction and surface quality in composite materials.

In 2003, Dr. Khokar and his associate, Mr. Fredrik Winberg, introduced the concept at the Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship in Gothenburg. The project quickly evolved into Oxeon AB, which joined the Chalmers Innovation business incubator. Within the first year, the company had installed its first prototype weaving machine, secured its first order and set its focus on the advanced composites industry.
