forces us to use raw materials more efficiently and to optimise recycling and re-use.
More about sustainabilityInspiring ways of living
We want to inspire people around the world to build living spaces that are ever more safe, sustainable, smart and beautiful.
Building on our experience and global market needs, we strive to improve our customers quality of living with ever more effective lightweight solutions.
From our start in 1905 we pioneered in fibre-cement building solutions. In 2011 we acquired a further 110 years of experience in gypsum and plaster technology. In 1981, we acquired Promat for passive fire protection - a crucial pillar in lightweight construction. Fibre cement and plasterboard have proved durable, beautiful, sustainable and smart materials, to which we have added state of the art passive fire protection and insulation.
The flexibility and efficiency of all of these materials enabled our global expansion and growth. Etex lightweight solutions have helped build and at times rebuild our planet. These last years Etex has pioneered in modular lightweight solutions to build faster, more sustainable, resource friendly and affordable.
Together with our partners and customers we realise inspiring projects. From the 600m high Canton Tower to the NATO headquarters in Belgium. From fire protection in TGV trains and yachts to floating houses. From a World Cup football arena in Brazil to modular housing that supported the Colombian peace process.
