The Plycem Company stands out as being innovate in its processes, products, and technology, and aggressive it its search for new growth opportunities and continued improvement.

Plycem fiber cement is an advanced construction material involving exclusive technology developed and patented by the company, composed of cement, mineralized organic fibers and other non-organic additives. This composition results in a light material with the construction qualities of cement and the handling qualities of wood.

Plycem technology provides the market with:

  • Handling qualities that enable internal and external walls, roofs, roof bases, ceilings, floor substrates, moldings, gutter facings and facades, and complete seismic resistant systems to be adequately dealt with.

  • Building safety through products that are unique, resistant to weather, pests, humidity and fire.

  • Environmental friendliness through light-weight, versatile, fast, clean and eco-efficient construction technologies.

Based on our commitment to our Business Principles, one of our priorities is the development of products that minimize the undesirable effects and optimize the positive ones on people and the environment of constructions and buildings with fiber cement, and in such a way that they are clearly differentiated on the market.

We strive to reduce negative environmental impacts; our industrial processes use a maximum of recycled raw materials, re-use and treat water, and re-use solid waste. This allows eco-efficiency in energy consumption and control of appropriate levels in all our environmental indicators.

This has involved a considerable effort in the development of applied technology aimed at continued improvements to our manufacturing processes, product characteristics and applications.

Initiatives in this area are the responsibility of the Plycem Research and Development Center
