The market changes
Main construction materials now:
concrete and steel
- polluting
- high maintenance
- heavy
- scarce
- no prefab
Marketlife cycle of construction materials

The market changes
Building and Infra ‘require’
an alternative
for concrete and steel.

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 !

Building with
is sustainable
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
Financial details about projections
and expected turnover and margins are
only available on request.
Thank you!
