The Revolution in Reinforcement
Depuis plus d'un siècle, l'acier est l'épine dorsale des infrastructures modernes. Pourtant, les défis liés à la corrosion, au poids et à la durabilité obligent les ingénieurs à repenser l'avenir du renforcement.
Enter GFRP (polymère renforcé de fibres de verre) — a material that is lighter, stronger, non-corrosive, and 100% resistant to chemical degradation.
At the center of this global shift stands Composite-Tech, a European manufacturer of advanced equipment for FRP rebar, mesh, and bent elements — designed, tested, and engineered to meet the world’s highest standards.
“Our mission is simple — to build the future of reinforcement. One that lasts longer, weighs less, and protects the planet.”
— Anton Ocunev, CEO of Composite-Tech
From Steel to Smart Reinforcement
Corrosion alone costs the U.S. economy over $22 billion annually (U.S. Department of Transportation).
Traditional steel rebar loses up to 40% of its tensile strength within 10 years in aggressive environments like coastal areas and bridges.
FRP, on the other hand:
- Has a tensile strength 2.5x higher than steel
- Weighs 4x less
- Is completely immune to corrosion
- Has a service life of 80–100 years without degradation
That’s why major infrastructure projects — from bridges in Florida to tunnels in California — are now designed with FRP reinforcement in compliance with ACI 440.11-22 et ASTM D7957.
Engineering Precision Made in Europe
Unlike low-cost manual equipment, Composite-Tech machines are designed with European engineering precision et fully automated process control.
Each system ensures:
- Perfect fiber alignment
- Uniform resin impregnation
- Consistent curing temperature
- Automatic diameter calibration
This precision is what guarantees that every Barres d'armature en PRF produced on a Composite-Tech line meets the strictest mechanical performance standards required in the U.S. market.
Research, Testing & Certification
Every new line developed by Composite-Tech passes through a complete testing cycle:
- Thermal resistance tests (−40°C to +200°C)
- Tensile and flexural strength verification
- Chemical and UV exposure analysis
Composite-Tech’s ongoing collaboration with FRP Institute (USA) ensures that all equipment and production parameters remain aligned with the latest ACI and ASTM standards, creating a transparent and traceable quality process.
Sustainability as a Core Value
Beyond performance, sustainability is at the heart of Composite-Tech’s philosophy.
By enabling the replacement of steel with non-corrosive FRP, the company helps reduce:
- CO₂ emissions from steel production
- Maintenance and replacement costs by 70%
- Concrete waste from deteriorating infrastructure
FRP is not just an alternative — it’s an environmental necessity in the 21st century.
Global Reach, Local Impact
Composite-Tech’s machines are now operating in over 20 countries, y compris:
🇺🇸 Etats-Unis 🇮🇳 India 🇿🇦 South Africa 🇷🇴 Romania 🇪🇸 Spain 🇨🇦 Canada
From small local startups to major construction suppliers, clients choose Composite-Tech because every machine is:
- Ready for ACI/ASTM compliance
- Built for 24/7 continuous production
- Supported by on-site installation and training
The Future: Graphene and Smart Composites
Composite-Tech’s R&D team is currently integrating graphene nanotechnologie into GFRP rebar — improving conductivity, strength, and micro-crack resistance.
This next generation of reinforcement will soon redefine how engineers design long-life structures for bridges, highways, and energy infrastructure.
Conclusion: Engineering the Future
Composite-Tech combines European manufacturing excellence, scientific precision, and a vision for sustainable construction.
Each machine represents decades of research and a clear mission — to help companies around the world build stronger, smarter, and greener.
