S & P Clever Reinforcement Company Ag

What S & P Clever Reinforcement Company Ag does

S&P Clever Reinforcement Company AG is a Swiss-based specialty construction materials manufacturer founded in 1955 and headquartered in Seewen, Switzerland. The company designs, produces, and sells fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems for structural reinforcement of concrete, steel, masonry, and timber structures, alongside asphalt reinforcement grids, shotcrete/mortar systems, and rock/soil stabilization meshes. Its product portfolio includes CFRP laminates (C-Laminate), carbon fiber sheets (C-Sheet 240/640), carbon anchors (C-Anchor, EA Light), epoxy adhesives (Resin 220, Resin 55 HP, Resicem HP), pre-impregnated asphalt grids (Glasphalt, Carbophalt), and the ARMO mortar/shotcrete system with patented ARMO PowerPump equipment. Proprietary capabilities include pre-stressed FRP systems capable of applying up to 140 kN force and a patented mixing system for dust-free shotcrete application. S&P is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Simpson Strong-Tie (US-based construction supplier, parent since 2012) and serves structural engineering firms, road authorities, concrete repair contractors, and civil engineering companies across 12 European countries plus selected North American markets via parent distribution.

The company operates four production facilities in Seewen (Switzerland), Amora and Elvas (Portugal), and Malbork (Poland), all ISO 9001:2015 certified, with global operations additionally certified to ISO 14001:2015. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales on a quote-based pricing model, supplemented by smaller revenue streams from engineering services, tool rentals, and training courses (CHF 200-300 per participant for FRP applicator courses). Go-to-market combines direct sales through regional technical sales advisors in Switzerland with a network of European country-specific websites and participation in trade forums (IMP Forum Strasse, Suisse Public). Recent strategic activity includes the 2019 acquisition of DPP Pultrusion Products, ongoing product portfolio expansion (C-Anchor 2024, EA Light 2024), and US market entry for asphalt reinforcement products through Simpson Strong-Tie distribution since 2022.

Core offering

S&P Clever Reinforcement manufactures and sells structural reinforcement systems built around four product lines: FRP composite systems (CFRP/GFRP laminates, sheets, anchors, and epoxy adhesives for strengthening concrete, steel, masonry, and timber), bitumen-pre-impregnated asphalt reinforcement grids for road pavement, ARMO shotcrete/mortar systems with embedded fiber grids for concrete repair, and high-performance mesh systems for slope stabilization and rockfall protection. The company operates its own European production sites in Switzerland, Portugal, and Poland, and supports its products with engineering services and paid FRP applicator training courses.

Product overview

S&P Clever Reinforcement Company AG is a leading provider of structural reinforcement solutions, offering a comprehensive portfolio organized around four core system lines: S&P FRP Systems (fiber-reinforced polymer systems using carbon and glass fibers for structural strengthening of concrete, steel, masonry, and wood), S&P Asphaltbewehrungen (pre-impregnated asphalt reinforcement grids including Glasphalt® and Carbophalt® products for road pavement reinforcement), S&P ARMO-System (shotcrete/mortar systems with embedded carbon or glass fiber grids for structural repair and reinforcement, including the ARMO-crete® wet spray mortar and ARMO PowerPump equipment), and S&P Erd- und Felsverbau (high-performance mesh systems for slope stabilization and rockfall protection). The product range spans CFRP laminates (C-Laminate), carbon sheets (C-Sheet 240, C-Sheet 640), carbon anchors (C-Anchor, EA Light), epoxy adhesives (Resin 220, Resin 220 HP, Resin 55 HP), chemical anchoring systems (ResAC-16, ResEP-16), and application tools (unrolling machines, adhesive applicators, wet lay-up machines). The company has been operating for over 70 years and became a subsidiary of Simpson Strong-Tie in 2012.

• Simpson Strong-TiecoreOthers · 1 January 2012Since 2012, S&P Clever Reinforcement Company AG has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Simpson Strong-Tie, an international construction supplier based in California with multiple European locations. The acquisition brought together two complementary brands, enabling S&P to leverage Simpson Strong-Tie's global distribution network (e.g., S&P asphalt reinforcement products are now available in the USA through Simpson Strong-Tie).
