Terratico could achieve annual revenues of €150 million by capturing just 1 % of the global concrete market.

“We are changing the world” and “sustainable innovation” need not just be empty marketing phrases, as Terratico is proving. The Slovak company has developed a patented method of making lightweight concrete with an admixture of recycled plastic. The building material has attracted interest from all over Europe, the US and Asia, and developers and European cities have expressed interest in applying its products and processes. The company is also now attracting interest from investors who could provide it with capital for further expansion.  

Builders are changing the world through innovation

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 global problem of what to do with waste plastic. The idea of using plastic recyclates in concrete as a replacement for crushed marble in terrazzo was first conceived in 2019.

After two years of research and development, the first version of the product was created, which the company is now continuously improving.

 Terratico achieved its first commercial success in 2021, when it produced 100 benches incorporating shredded credit cards for a Slovak bank. In the same year, the company presented its product in the Slovak pavilion at the world exhibition "Expo Dubai 2020", gaining many international contacts and interest from all over the world.
