Jack joins Fiberforge in Glenwood Springs, CO, and gets his hands dirty in the shop, learning about thermoplastic composites and process automation technology.

Jack sees the need in the market for a different kind of company in the composites industry, one focused on serving a broader market through innovative automation processes, and forms Oribi Manufacturing, LLC.

Jack Wilfley leaves his industrial manufacturing job to ride his motorcycle across the world. Literally. Jack started his journey in Denver, CO with a backpack on his bike, and ended up 6 years later, with 28 countries and untold miles under his belt. Along the way, Jack designed and built the world’s largest gorge swing in Oribi Gorge, South Africa, later becoming the inspiration for our company name.
