Like other ‘traditional’ markets before …

Markets for FRP

FRP in infrastructure …

In the near future FRP will be the third

main construction material next to

concrete and steel.

How and why ??

One strong technology …

proven products

proven processes

proven patents

proven profits

… for many products/markets

One strong brand …

serial & scalable

sustainable

maintenance free

safe

smart & light

… for many products/markets

we organise our production serial and

scalable =>

we did automate our engineering =>

our products are more competitive,

steady, fast and reliable

Status

Today,

in our factory,

we are able to build

three bridges every week!

WE ARE SCALABLE !

Status

Today,

we can produce bridges

cost competative with

concrete and steel.

WE PROVED IT !

Our technology is easy

to connect with ‘old economy’,

like steel and concrete.

WE DID IT MANY TIMES !

Sustainable

– low carbon footprint

– low energy consumption

– less environmental pollution

– no technical maintenance required

– integral re-usable

– recyclable at end-of-life

Sustainable acquisition

NL in 2010:

– acquisition based on total costs of ownership

– account for environment, labour conditions, …

– tool : DuboCalc

– Dutch governement introduces composites in the DuboCalc database

EU is monitoring NL with sustainable acquisition

Strategy

We will not do it alone!

FiberCore Europe develops PMC’s together with

the strongest partners in the market for:

wet infra, dry infra, off shore, building, maritime, etc.

Every PMC is based on the one standarized technology:

ONE technology, MANY markets

After developing a PMC, FiberCore Europe

decides:

– to produce and sell by herself;

–or to licence the technology;

–or to sell or joint venture the PMC.

ONE technology, MANY markets

FCE has developed 6 viable PMC’s already

generating money.

More than 15 promising PMC’s waiting to be

developed.

… THEY CALL US …

GROWTH needs money

Capital required: € 2,5 million

FCE will issue stocks to accelerate her

growth

Use of financial resources:

• acceleration of growth;- stronger organisation- scaling production

• extension IP-positions

• diversification (number of PMC’s)

• internationalisation

• investments automatisation

• better balance sheet

and expected turnover and margins are

only available on request.
