About us

Concrete Valley can trace its roots back as far as 1888, when a cement factory called Waning & Co was established in Rotterdam. With the trading name abbreviated to Waco, this company still stands at the heart of Concrete Valley. In 1979 a company called Ferrocem was founded. Ferrocem manufactured high-end yachts made from lightweight concrete. Virtually indestructible, many of these yachts continue to sail the world today.

In 1998, Microbeton was established. It took inspiration from Ferrocem and became the first company to specialise in manufacturing building products from High Performance Concrete (HPC). The ability to span wider gaps with lightweight structural concrete elements revolutionised the way concrete was used in construction. Then in 2012, Waco, Microbeton and Ferrocem joined forces and became Concrete Valley. To begin with, each company continued to trade independently with Concrete Valley taking on the role of coordinators, providing project management and installation services to create a turnkey offering.

In 2014, what started as a spin off from Microbeton became a valuable asset in its own right. MbX became specialists in the production of geometrically complex elements from GRC and HPC, and the demand for their expertise has grown rapidly since their inception. Today, Concrete Valley is a single business that combines the complementary skills and capabilities from each of these businesses that were successful in their own right. By amalgamating this wealth of experience and knowledge, and by supporting innovation and growth with the necessary investment, Concrete Valley is a unified business that is going from strength to strength.

Elements of mbX, Waco and Microbeton are since 2017 sold, supervised and installed in the UK by Concrete Valley ltd projects.

In 2023 emerges Ferrocem, manufacturer of durable and releaseable balconies.
