GigaCrete

GigaCrete is a next generation ‘green’ building materials company with products that truly push the building envelope on performance and sustainability. The Company has now moved from research and development into commercialization of its mineral cement based building products. GigaCrete is an emerging market leader in the quest to innovate more durable and higher-performance construction products for builders, architects, and contractors. The company launched its world’s first interior PlasterMax abuse resistant coating in 2008 aimed squarely at the ICF industry to replace gypsum board.

“Clean tech” or “green tech” is now a mainstream category of innovation that is changing the way we manufacture and the way we build. As a category, it refers to any product or process that delivers value using limited or zero non-renewable resources and/or creates significantly less waste than conventional offerings. The production of traditional Portland cement and the use of heavy aggregate fillers for conventional finished building products is a very carbon-intensive, energy-intensive and resource-draining process. Using advances in industrial and construction ecology, GigaCrete is applying green technology to push the industry ahead and create new higher standards.

Founded in 2005, GigaCrete’s “GigaLabs,” the product research and development innovation center, is located at GigaCrete’s manufacturing facility in Nevada.
