Slovak, patented, lightweight, in-demand: Terratico's concrete mix attracts attention. Invest in the sustainability the world demands.

Slovak, patented, lightweight, in - demand and no other! We launched the opportunity to co-own Terratico, a company that has a patent for the production of lightweight eco-concrete, during the summer and in a short time it has gained the attention of not only European cities, Americans, developers, retail designers, but also investors. In addition, we have prepared an interesting benefit for investors!

Terratico was founded on more than 25 years of experience in building materials by the Nagy father and son team and their desire to solve the general problem of what to do with waste plastics. The idea to use plastic recyclates in concrete as a replacement for crushed marble in terrazzo was first conceived in 2019.

 Terratico is developing an eco-friendly alternative to concrete and terrazzo. The company's innovative solution consists of integrating up to 45% of plastic grit into the concrete mix. The plastic particles are evenly distributed throughout the structure, do not float to the surface and each piece adheres firmly to the concrete. This gives Terratico products unique properties such as higher strength, 30% less weight compared to conventional concrete, and excellent resistance to cracking.

At Crowdberry, we always put a special focus on a company's latest achievements. Over the past few months, Terratico has garnered a lot of global interest, with its lightweight concrete becoming an export commodity.

Terratico scored big at Select USA

• Terratico participated in the Select USA Investment Summit, where management attended 50 meetings. Out of these, the company received direct offers from six cities – Sacramento, California; Austin, Texas; Fort Lupton, Colorado; Tupelo, Mississippi; Fort Wayne, Indiana; and Lexington, Kentucky – where it could locate a US subsidiary and receive investment subsidies from local and state government. During September, technical due diligence will be carried out on each location, based on which Terratico will choose where and how to establish a subsidiary in the US. 
• At Select USA, Terratico also attracted interest from investment fund Holcim, with whom the company is in discussions for a $2 million - 5 million investment in Terratico's US subsidiary (wholly owned by Terratico j.s.a).

High-tech: New main cutting and polishing machine heading to Terratico

The main cutting and polishing machine for large-scale production is ready for shipment from Turkey to Slovakia. No company in the region has such machinery and the closest of this kind are found in Italy, where the main part of the production of terrazzo for Europe and a large part of the quality marble is concentrated. The machinery purchased can also be used for the normal production of terrazzo, and the cutting and polishing of large format tiles.

Strategic partnerships and new business opportunities

• This unique material from the Terratico workshop has also attracted interest from Fabric, a company known for its brick ventilated facades that adorn major projects such as Twin City and Zwirn in Bratislava. The companies have entered into a strategic collaboration where Fabric plans to use Terratico materials while recycling waste from its facades into ESG sustainable solutions, which are in increasing demand from its clients.
• Terratico is actively developing business opportunities with tiling suppliers who can sell 10,000 to 20,000 m² of material in Germany, Sweden and France. In addition, it has scheduled negotiations with the iconic Swedish company IKEA to integrate Terratico materials into its sustainable product line. Parallel negotiations are also underway with Deutsche Bahn to develop eco-friendly railway sleepers.

With a market share of just 1%, Terratico could generate annual revenues of up to €150 million. The company is therefore working intensively not only on expansion plans, but above all on the start-up of large-scale production in order to ensure the fulfilment of orders that the current small-scale production capacity cannot cover.

"We would only expand Terratico at an organic rate with our own resources. Thanks to private capital, the experience of investors and our expertise, we are confident that we will achieve growth that’sfaster, more stable and of higher quality. It will also allow us to bring more innovation and green solutions to the global construction market," explains Pavol Norulák, co-founder of Terratico.  

Through Crowdberry, the largest Slovak crowdfunding platform, investors can invest directly in the patented Terratico technology. VC fund Venture to Future Fund joins as a co-investor. The total investment amounts to €3 million with the co-investment of the fund.
