ABOUT
Born in Scandinavia.
Built for the world.
Basalt fiber was first pioneered in Russia in the 1950s for military and aerospace applications. Scandinavian engineers refined it for civil engineering — adding a proprietary helical wrap that vastly improved bond strength and shear resistance. Today, BasBars™ is approved for use anywhere Eurocode 2 or ACI standards apply.

HERITAGE
15+ years in European and North American infrastructure.
THE 10 CASCADING ADVANTAGES
Why total cost of ownership collapses when you switch.
01
Structural
Basalt fiber is 2–3× stronger than steel and requires no protective concrete cover, reducing material use.
03
Labor
No welding, no epoxy coatings, no cathodic protection. Faster installs with smaller crews.
05
Durability
Zero corrosion. Zero maintenance. 75–100 year service life.
07
Non-conductive
Safer for power plants, EV charging stations and electrical infrastructure.
09
Chemical resistance
Survives harsh industrial and marine environments where steel fails.
02
Logistics
4.5× lighter than steel — transport costs for cement, sand and gravel drop by up to 50%.
04
Financial ROI
Faster commissioning means earlier cash flow and lower financing costs.
06
Seismic
Up to 50% lighter structures dramatically reduce earthquake inertia.
08
No interference
Transparent to radio, cellphone and Wi-Fi signals — ideal for airports and hospitals.
10
Sustainable
Basalt is a mineral, not a metal — endlessly recyclable.
BEST IN CLASS
Better than glass. Better than carbon. Better than steel.
Basalt fiber outperforms glass fiber (GFRP) in strength, durability and chemical resistance. It is non-conductive — unlike carbon fiber — and dramatically more cost-effective at scale. Where it makes sense, BasBars™ also pairs with steel, carbon or glass fiber to deliver hybrid systems engineered for purpose.
