Forge+Bond Transforms into F+B Sports, a Leading Pickleball Paddle Brand
TL;DR Summary
CSS Composites, a manufacturer of high-end thermoplastic carbon rims for bike brands, went out of business unexpectedly, leaving warranties and supply chains in limbo. Remarkably, its Forge+Bond brand and IP have re-emerged less than a month later as F+B Sports, a pickleball paddle company using the same FusionFiber technology, operating from the same facilities, under the umbrella of Future Comp and the Christensen family's network of companies.
