Forerunner for carbon reduction and sustainability in the construction industry

Pioneer for innovative fiber composite solutions

CG Tec Carbon und Glasfasertechnik GmbH based in Spalt near Nuremberg looks back on successful and over 25 years of company history as a technology leader for circular profiles made of carbon and glass fibers. Starting with the production of tubes, bars and plates, CG Tec has been continuously expanding the product portfolio. Today, the innovative company offers customized solutions made of fiber composites for almost any sector. Thanks to their many years of experience and the latest research findings, CG Tec is developing and manufacturing high-quality structural components made of high-performance materials such as carbon, glass and basalt fibers. This know-how is complemented by a comprehensive service for the assembly of component groups and complete system solutions.

Tec Bar: concrete reinforcement of the future

A new highlight in the product portfolio is the Tec Bar – an innovative reinforcement bar made of high-performance fibers conceived for the application in concrete. The Tec Bar is manufactured of glass, basalt or carbon fibers and is offered both with and without ribbing. The advantages are quite obvious:

Extremely high corrosion resistance to chemicals, salt water and environmental influences;

Considerably lower weight in comparison to conventional steel reinforcement;

Lower carbon footprint due to the positive life cycle assessment;

Very high tensile strength and durability for a long service life.

The Tec Bar is perfect for high-volume construction projects and is also offered in small quantities via the carbonscout.com online shop for trading companies and final customers. Since Q3 2024, the new subpage carbonscout.com/BAU is available. With this innovative new product made of high-performance fibers, CG Tec underlines once again its leading role in respect of pioneering solutions made of fiber composites for the construction industry.

Cooperation with Rothycon Carbon Bewehrung

As far as sales and distribution as well as application consultancy in the construction sector are concerned, CG Tec is cooperating with Rothycon. Rothycon is a specialist in reinforcement and strengthening of concrete using non-metallic reinforcement. As a competent point of contact for planners, construction companies and distributors, Rothycon provides comprehensive know-how about all aspects around reinforcement and strengthening of concrete with fiber composites such as the innovative Tec Bar.

Successful application at Köhler Beton

With Klaus Köhler Beton- und Fertigteilwerk GmbH, CG Tec has acquired another important customer for large-scale application of the Tec Bar. Köhler Beton uses the Tec Bar for the production of cable duct covers for concrete cable ducts of Deutsche Bahn AG. Extensive tests and developments were conducted in order to ensure the durability and performance of the Tec Bar for this specific case of application. In addition, the Tec Bar reinforcement bars offer substantial advantages in terms of the carbon footprint and in handling for the concrete of the future, which increases the efficiency and sustainability of the project further.
