KCMT and KCMT participating in the BAU 2023 Fair in Germany introduce the KEco Exhibition Hall, an eco-friendly replacement for steel bars at the BAU Fair in Munich, Germany.


KCMT, an eco-friendly steel substitute, participated in the BAU 2023 World's Best Building Materials Fair in Munich, Germany.From April 17 to 22, it has been recognized for its technology in the global market with premium construction materials KEco and continues to attract global issues as the ultimate low-carbon company.


BAU 2023, which will be held for the first time in four years, predicts an average of 1.5 degrees higher than before the Industrial Revolution (IPCC) This is why special attention is being paid to KEco, an eco-friendly alternative to the new era, to prevent global warming.


Visitors to the KEco Exhibition Hall, an eco-friendly alternative to steel bars participating in the BAU 2023 fair in Germany, are asked questions and experienced KEco.


KCMT has created a glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) reinforcement that can replace rebars in order to actively respond to the climate change crisis with carbon-neutral and de-steel.It is more than twice as strong as steel bars, weighs 1/4 lighter, and has excellent durability because it does not rust.Smart Factory is equipped with the world's largest production facility as a single factory with quality, environmental management, and optimization systems, and has excellent price competitiveness for products as well as high-quality product production management.


The global GFRP Rebar market in 2026 is expected to be 94 trillion won (Composite rebar market by type and geography - Forecast and analys 2022-2026, Technavio, 2022), and the low carbon, safety, and sustainability that secured the reliability, economic value, and competitiveness of eco-friendly steel substitute KEco are seen as explosive growth in the global market.


A KCMT official said, "KCMT will not stop challenging itself to achieve a better tomorrow with the safest and most economical construction materials for those who build today and enjoy the future."
