BG-FILCOTEN

when opposites

attract great things

 

FILCOTEN HPC (High Performance Concrete) is a material that unites outstanding technical properties with ecological sustainability. The optimised high-density structure of HPC makes it possible to construct extremely stable lightweight drainage channels – but it’s the idea behind it that makes it unique. 

Unique concept, revolutionary results. 
Our engineers wanted to bring together two extremes:
maximum performance with minimum environmental impact. 

Maximum performance, minimal environmental impact. 
After intensive development, they finally achieved their goal. FILCOTEN HPC 
embodies these opposites, making it unique in the market.
