Microbeton B.v.

What Microbeton B.v. does

Microbeton B.v., founded in 1996 and headquartered in Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands, is a specialist manufacturer of lightweight prefabricated ferrocement building elements for the Dutch construction market. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Concrete Valley Group, a Dutch conglomerate comprising seven specialized prefab concrete companies with more than 150 employees across 19 nationalities. Microbeton's product portfolio spans prefabricated galleries, stairs, columns, roof edges, facade elements, terrace elements, planters, canopies, footbridges, landing platforms, and bases, with detachable balcony solutions now produced by sister company Ferrocem following a 2023 restructuring.

The company's core technology is high-strength ferrocement combined with a recycled EPS (expanded polystyrene) core, yielding elements up to 70% lighter than traditional concrete solutions and using 70% less concrete. A patented hanging system for balcony installation enables mounting without additional structural requirements, a key differentiator for transformation and renovation projects where existing structures cannot support heavy traditional elements. Microbeton controls the full process through in-house engineering and production, from design through transport to construction site. The mbX product line (HPC and GRC variants) extends the addressable surface into Glass Reinforced Concrete and High Performance Concrete elements. Certifications include CSC Gold (Concrete Sustainability Council, 2023), ISO 9001, and two KOMO-keurmerk certifications.

Microbeton operates a sales-led, project-based B2B go-to-market, engaging early in the design phase with architects, project developers, and contractors across the Netherlands. Revenue is generated through one-time project-based sales with custom per-project unit pricing, rather than recurring contracts or standard catalog offerings. The company has delivered a broad portfolio of landmark projects including DSM Headquarters Maastricht (BAM), The Mayor Amstelveen (largest Dutch transformation project), The Doors Amsterdam, BoogieWood Den Haag (~702 homes), Metterswane Nijmegen (276 apartments), Victoriatoren Eindhoven (369 apartments), Amphia Hospital Breda (1,550 facade elements), and Flora Campus Westland. Distribution is exclusively through direct enterprise sales with no third-party channels, geographic scope is the Netherlands only, and the firm is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or external investment.
