Strength and durability
Glass fibres reinforce the cement matrix and reduce brittleness. Performance depends on the mix and manufacturing process.
Glass fibre reinforced concrete
TECHNOFORMA Group is the largest manufacturer of glass fibre reinforced concrete in Russia and the CIS. We have been developing our glass fibre reinforced concrete (GFRC) manufacturing business for more than 10 years. We are proud of the scale of our operations, the projects we deliver and the professionalism of our team. We bring architectural ideas to life and deliver facade and construction projects, combining design, manufacturing and installation.

THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION CYCLE IN ONE COMPANY
Our team includes 12 designers led by 2 architects.
We can develop elements based on architects’ and designers’ concepts, working with the specified substructure or proposing our own implementation options.
We manufacture our own models and moulds for use in production.
High-quality moulds make it possible to create finely detailed architectural elements while keeping costs reasonable.
Strict adherence to production technology is the key to the quality of finished GFRC elements.
At every stage, our quality specialists monitor compliance with the process and then inspect the finished products.
Over 10 years, we have brought together skilled teams for every stage: design, modelling, mould-making, spraying and even packaging.
During this time, our people have gained extensive experience in GFRC manufacturing and know which methods achieve the required result.
We have experienced logistics specialists and established supply chains.
Our warehouses extend from Novorossiysk and Makhachkala to Novosibirsk and Yekaterinburg.
We make sure our products are delivered both quickly and with care.
We can handle every aspect of the facade, including installing the substructure, insulation and cladding panels.
Most importantly, this lets us account for every detail at the design stage, reducing your risks when choosing GFRC elements for the building facade.
ADVANTAGES OF GFRC
Efficient installation
Thin-walled elements reduce cladding weight. Well-planned dimensions and fixings help organise on-site assembly.
Freedom of form
Flat panels and three-dimensional details accommodate complex geometry. Shape and relief are developed for the building’s architecture.
Frost resistance
Material selection considers temperature changes and moisture. The performance of each product is checked against its documentation.
Mineral base
Cement, sand and glass fibres form the base. The mix and conditions of use are considered during selection.
Fire safety
Fire performance is assessed for the complete facade system. The classification of the products used must be supported by documentation.
Manufacturing GFRC elements
Element geometry
Complex relief calls for a suitable mould and production preparation.
Dimensions and weight
Thickness and dimensions are selected for the loads and fixing arrangement.
Manufacturing process
Spraying and casting suit different requirements and element geometries.
Texture and colour
The surface is considered together with the element shape and the facade design.
Facade fixing
Connections and the substructure are designed around the substrate and cladding.
