GigaCrete, Inc. is a leading clean technology company pioneering the manufacture of cementitious building materials. The core business is the manufacture and sales of their three primary products including GigaCrete Panels, StuccoMax/StuccoMax-E, and GigaFloor – and the continued development of additional complementary and cutting edge building products. In addition to the products, GigaCrete has created a revolutionary new lightweight concrete panelized building system utilizing its proprietary cement binder which can outperform methods of traditional building materials in strength, speed of construction and cost. The environmental innovations are found throughout the entire GigaCrete product lifecycle – from waste filler material sourcing, lower energy and CO2 intensity in cement binder production, high thermal efficiencies of products, CO2-absorption by finished GigaCrete materials, reduced energy consumption during transportation due to light weight materials, forecasted product longevity, and the recyclability of GigaCrete products. GigaCrete offers the construction market a new choice, combining the best in clean technology with product performance advantages and competitive pricing. Craton committed to invest $5.0 million in GigaCrete over the next year in two traunches: $3.5 million in the first traunch and $1.5 million in the second traunch, conditioned upon the company meeting certain milestones.
