What mbx concrete valley does

mbX is a Dutch facade specialist that designs, engineers, produces, and installs custom prefabricated facade cladding for architectural building projects. Founded in 2014 as a startup within the Concrete Valley Group (a diversified construction conglomerate of seven companies employing over 150 people across 19 nationalities), mbX is headquartered in Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands, and operates primarily in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The company serves architects, project developers, general contractors, government bodies, and housing associations, executing turn-key facade packages on iconic high-rise residential towers, mixed-use complexes, railway stations, shopping malls, and educational buildings.

The company's core technology stack centers on two proprietary material systems: GRC (Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete, Grade 18) and HPC (High Performance Concrete, C90/C105). GRC elements are produced as thin as 12mm using a sprayed application that eliminates the need for counter-moulds, enabling double-curved geometric forms and approximately 60% weight reduction versus traditional concrete. HPC elements deliver 105 N/mm² compressive strength, sub-1mm water absorption, and a minimum 100-year technical lifespan. Production is increasingly robotized to standardize quality and scale output without sacrificing precision. The firm holds CSC Gold (Concrete Sustainability Council), ISO 9001, and GRCA Full Membership certifications, and has documented EPD/LCA values for both product lines.

mbX operates a project-based B2B revenue model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Each engagement is a custom engineering and production contract scoped to the project's geometry, volume, and finishing requirements, with multi-year execution timelines for major commissions. Pricing references include MKI values of €1.86/m² for HPC and €1.78/m² for GRC. Notable delivered projects include the Mall of the Netherlands (10,000 m² double-curved facade for Unibail-Rodamco Westfield), Paddington Station (2,200+ GRC fins for Crossrail), Farringdon Station (6,500 m² for Crossrail), KJ Plein Den Haag (2,016 elements covering 7,055 m² for Amvest), and Arnhem Centraal (1,500 unique roof panels for ProRail, winner of the 2015 Dutch Concrete Award and 2016 European Concrete Award). Sales are consultative and enterprise-driven, leveraging direct relationships with major contractors including BAM, Ballast Nedam, and Besix.

Core offering

mbX designs, engineers, produces, and installs custom prefabricated GRC (Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete) and HPC (High Performance Concrete) facade cladding elements and architectural features for high-end building projects. The company delivers turn-key solutions covering engineering, production, transport, and installation for architects, project developers, contractors, and government bodies across the Netherlands and UK.

Product overview

mbX is a facade specialist company offering prefabricated facade elements and turn-key facade solutions. The core product portfolio consists of GRC GRADE 18 (Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete) and HPC C90/C105 (High Performance Concrete) facade elements, complemented by custom architectural facade solutions. These materials are used in diverse applications including high-rise buildings, architectural facades, and non-residential construction. The company provides complete turn-key solutions encompassing engineering, production, transport, and installation services. GRC and HPC products differ primarily in strength characteristics and weight, with HPC offering higher compressive strength (105 N/mm²) for large-scale architectural projects and GRC providing superior flexural strength (18-30 N/mm²) for complex geometric forms.
