Core offering

ABC-ADAMAS GmbH supplies specialized materials and tools for structural masonry repair and reinforcement — including stainless steel spiral reinforcement bars, cement-based and lime-based anchor mortars, cavity wall renovation anchors, color-matched stone repair mortars, anchoring adhesives, and installation tools — through its Dutch-language e-commerce webshop and mobile app. The portfolio centers on the proprietary HAS-method (Helical Application System) for non-demolition crack repair, lintel repair, bulging wall stabilization, cavity wall re-anchoring, and earthquake damage restoration (notably in Groningen), supported by technical documentation and professional training courses.

Product overview

ABC-ADAMAS GmbH is a specialty supplier of structural masonry repair and reinforcement products serving construction and restoration companies in the Netherlands and Germany. The product portfolio centers on the HAS (Helical Application System) — a proprietary crack and lintel repair method using stainless steel spiral reinforcement bars (RVS 304/RVS 316, diameters 4.5–10 mm) in combination with high-performance anchor mortars (cement-based, lime-based, and 2-component Helibond variants). Supporting the core reinforcement system are stone repair mortars (8-color mixable), AnkerFix styrene-free anchoring adhesive, manual/electric mortar guns, diamond cutting discs, and various accessories (SDS drills, pull-out test meters, insertion tools). For cavity wall re-anchoring, ABC-ADAMAS offers two distinct product lines: wokkel-shaped (helical, self-drilling) renovation tie anchors in symmetric and asymmetric variants, and Fischer-branded plug-shaped anchors available in mechanical (VBS-M) and chemical (VBS-8, FIS V 360s injectable mortar) configurations. Bowtie anchors and 12 mm wall anchors address bulging and separating walls. The company also provides technical training courses, downloadable technical specifications/manuals, and a mobile app for remote facade damage assessment. The solution portfolio covers crack repair, lintel repair, bulging walls, cavity wall anchoring, stone/brick repair, moisture management (SECCO moisture sticks), and earthquake damage repair in Groningen. Since 2012 the company has been active in earthquake damage restoration in Groningen and developed the VAKWERKPRIJS-winning 'Spouwdonut' preventive strengthening system.

Regional players

• Walraven: Netherlands-based fixing, anchoring, and installation systems company serving the Benelux construction market with overlapping products in wall anchors, fixings, and cavity wall solutions — making it a strong regional comparable.

Broad incumbents

• Hilti: Global construction tools and fixings company with a broad portfolio of chemical and mechanical anchors, demolition tools, and installation accessories that overlap with ABC ADAMAS's AnkerFix adhesive and mortar gun categories.
• Mapei: Global construction chemicals company producing repair mortars, anchoring products, and masonry restoration systems that overlap with ABC ADAMAS's Ankermortel and stone repair mortar lines, but at vastly greater scale and distribution.
• Bostik: Global adhesives and sealants company with construction-grade anchoring adhesives, repair mortars, and masonry bonding products that overlap with ABC ADAMAS's AnkerFix adhesive and mortar categories.
• Bekaert: Global steel wire and reinforcement specialist producing masonry reinforcement products including welded mesh and structural reinforcement — comparable to ABC ADAMAS's stainless steel spiral reinforcement product category at a much larger scale.
• Fischer (Fischerwerke): Global construction fixings leader whose VBS-M and VBS-8 cavity wall renovation anchors are currently resold by ABC ADAMAS. Fischer operates across a much broader fixing and anchoring portfolio and could compete directly in cavity wall re-anchoring at scale.
• BASF Master Builders Solutions: BASF's construction chemicals division offering structural repair mortars, injection systems, and concrete restoration products that compete in the broader masonry and concrete repair chemicals space where ABC ADAMAS's mortars are positioned.

Direct peers

• Thor Helical: UK manufacturer of helical wall ties, crack stitching bars, and masonry reinforcement systems directly comparable to ABC ADAMAS's HAS-method portfolio (spiral anchors, remedial wall ties, crack repair kits).
• Helifix: UK-based specialist in helical stainless steel masonry repair systems (the Helifix SockFix and HeliBar product lines are direct analogues of ABC ADAMAS's spiral anchors). Helifix is also already an indirect partner through the Helibond mortar product that ABC ADAMAS resells.
• Cintec International: Specialist in masonry and structural reinforcement anchor systems used for crack repair, lintel reinforcement, and historic structure stabilization — overlapping with ABC ADAMAS's lintel repair and crack repair categories.
