What CDM Stravitec does

CDM Stravitec is a Belgian noise and vibration isolation specialist, incorporated as CDM N.V. and headquartered in Overijse, Belgium. Founded in 1951, the company designs, produces, and implements engineered isolation systems for buildings and industrial applications using elastic decoupling techniques including floating floors, structural bearings, resilient hangers, wall and ceiling isolation systems, and isolation mounts. Its portfolio is organized into six product sub-brands — Stravibase (building base isolation), Stravifloor (high-performance floating floors), Stravigym (gym/fitness floating floors), Stravilink (wall and ceiling decoupling), Stravimech (mechanical equipment isolation), and Straviwood (acoustic connectors for CLT timber construction) — supplemented by Stravi-dB, a digital platform distributing acoustical test data, BIM objects, and specification documents.

The business operates a B2B specialist go-to-market, engaging architects, acoustic consultants, structural engineers, and construction contractors during building design and construction phases. Sales are project-based with direct technical engagement: the in-house engineering team uses FEM, SOLIDS, and BIM calculation tools to deliver customized drawings, installation plans, and on-site oversight alongside the hardware products. Revenue derives primarily from hardware sales of the isolation systems, with engineering and installation-support services bundled in. Customer concentration spans major European fitness chains (Basic-Fit, Fitness Park, Crunch Fitness, Jetts), global corporates (Google Warsaw Hub, Deutsche Bank London headquarters), hospitality groups (Corinthia Hotel Lisbon, Adare Manor), and educational institutions (Berklee College of Music Valencia), with active geographic reach across Belgium, the UK, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Ireland, Poland, Germany, and selective North American projects.

The company holds a patented proprietary technology (dBooster) and operates without external investors, holding entities, or public listing under Belgian private-company law. Its scale is constrained — reported headcount of 11-50 — but is offset by decades of accumulated engineering knowledge, proprietary material science through in-house testing, and university/institute R&D collaborations that together form the basis of its competitive position.

Products and services

• Stravibase Building base isolation and structural fixations for protecting buildings from structure-borne noise and vibration through elastic decoupling of the building structure. Designed for building construction and architecture professionals specifying foundation-level acoustic isolation.
• Stravifloor High-performance floating floors with elastic decoupling of floors, walls and ceilings to reduce transmission of impact and airborne noise from internal or external sources. Used in commercial, residential, and high-performance building construction.
• Stravigym Lightweight isolated gym floating floors specifically designed for fitness and gym applications, with XP (Extreme Performance), HP (High Performance), and SP (Standard Performance) performance tiers. Uses patented dBooster technology and effectively manages impact energies from free weights, cardio, and group exercise activities.
• Straviwood Acoustic connectors for timber structural elements providing solutions to acoustically decouple cross-laminated timber (CLT) walls, floors and ceilings. Addresses unique challenges of CLT construction including low panel weight and flanking sound transmission through steel connections.
• Stravilink Wall and ceiling elastic decoupling solutions including wall isolation systems, ceiling suspension systems, and box-in-box construction components (QR & ISH-P acoustic hangers) for high-performance sound insulation in studios and sensitive spaces.
• Stravimech Solutions for building service and mechanical equipment isolation, including spring isolation supports, elastomeric mounts, air mounts, and elevator guide rail isolation systems. Designed to isolate elevators, HVAC systems, generators, transformers, and industrial machinery.
• Stravi-dB Online Test Data Platform Online platform providing acoustical test reports, editable .csv files, datasheets, typical cross sections (.dwg), BIM objects (.rvt), specifications (.doc), and submittal drawings for Stravifloor and Stravigym solutions. Enables specifiers to access technical product information.

• Isolgomma: Italian producer of acoustic insulation and anti-vibration products made from recycled rubber, serving construction and industrial markets. Comparable product families (impact noise underlays, floating floor systems) and shared focus on European building acoustics.
• Vibro-Acoustics: Canadian specialist in vibration isolation and seismic restraint for building services equipment and structures. Directly comparable in mechanical equipment isolation (springs, hangers, base isolators) and North American project exposure.
• Farrat: UK-based manufacturer of structural acoustic isolation and vibration control products for buildings, cinemas, and industrial facilities. Competes head-to-head in floating floors, wall/ceiling decoupling, and box-in-box construction across UK and EU markets.
• Mason Industries: One of the most established US-based manufacturers of vibration isolation and seismic restraint products for building and industrial applications. Directly comparable product portfolio (spring isolators, neoprene mounts, floating floors) and similar B2B specifier-driven GTM.
• Regupol (Armacell): German manufacturer of rubber-based acoustic and vibration isolation products for flooring, gyms, and structural applications. Directly competes in gym floating floors and impact noise isolation, with similar reference projects in fitness and residential segments.

Emerging players

• Acoustiblok: US manufacturer of sound isolation membranes and vibration damping products for walls, floors and ceilings. Overlaps with Stravilink and Stravifloor product lines, focused on the commercial and residential construction segment.
• Acoustics First: US-based acoustic products manufacturer serving recording studios, home theater, and architectural acoustic markets. Partial overlap in high-performance spaces and architectural acoustic solutions, though with a stronger materials focus than engineered systems.

Broad incumbents

• Armacell: Global leader in flexible foam and engineered materials including acoustic and thermal insulation products. While not a pure-play isolation specialist, Armacell competes across multiple product categories (underfloor, HVAC, industrial) where CDM Stravitec operates, and has vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
