Next Generation Concrete Reinforcement
Our non-metallic reinforcements are made from carbon, basalt or AR glass fibers, which have up to eight times more tensile strength than conventional steel and outstanding corrosion resistance. Compared to conventional reinforced concrete, this means only a minimum of concrete covering is required.
The unique contex/Curve technology makes it possible to lay fibers in any orientation and 3D-shape. That enables targeted reinforcement and even higher strength. This makes our solutions very cost-efficient and sustainable.
up to 80% less concrete
Light and thin instead of heavy and thick. With contex/Mesh up to 80% less concrete is use and up to 100% steel reduction. Slim & durable design saves more then 40% of CO2 emissions through lower resource consumption, lower transport costs, lower installation effort and less renovations.
2x lifetime & durability
Due to their outstanding corrosion resistance and minimal crack widths, the durability and lifetime of non-metallic reinforced elements are exceptional.
contex/Mesh brings also greater resistance to seismic/crash impact with it. This applies to precast elements, new construction and renovations.
up to 3x faser installation
Due to its low weight, transport and installation are significantly easier than with steel reinforcement. This results in major economic advantages and better working conditions in global construction. Our technological change is less physically demanding, cleaner, and safer for workers.

Smart Renovation
The use of contex/Mesh offers great advantages, especially in the refurbishment of existing structures. Thanks to the corrosion resistance and
the associated low concrete cover, a very high increase in load-bearing capacity of up to 60% can be achieved in existing structures with very thin
layers of top concrete. As a result, renovation is a more economically and sustainable solution than new construction in many applications.
FOKUS APPLICATIONS
Bridges, Underpasses, Harbors & Maritime & Tunnels
Precast
Non-metallic reinforcements also offer specific advantages in the manufacturing of prefabricated parts. In addition to easy handling, the thin, lightweight and tailored fiber placement enables
new possibilities in terms of the design of concrete components. Textile reinforcement minimizes crack widths and allows three-dimensional components
as well as strengthened ducts, for example.
FOKUS APPLICATIONS
Facade panels, Sandwich elements, Beams, Ceiling systems, Lost formwork & Sewage systems
Building & Construction
contex/Mesh offers completely new perspectives for civil engineers and architects, regarding possibilities of design and strength by using a minimum of resources.
FOKUS APPLICATIONS
Architectural concret, Maritime, Underground parking, Water & sewage infrastructure
ENGINEERING SERVICES
Together with our civil engineering team, which is specialized in working with non-metallic reinforcements, we bring your project to the next level. Lead by the contex/Mesh One-Stop- Shop philosophy we support customers in planning and creating tenders, as well as product development for
precast elements, civil engineering for renovation projects or building construction.
