HISTORY

As far back as 1888, the Rotterdam cement factory Waning & Co wrote the first chapter of a story that turned out to be quite remarkable. This story, which started in the port of Rotterdam, continues to this day. Over the years, Waco has grown into a renowned producer of robust industrial concrete elements, used mainly in industrial product development.

Nearly a century later, shipbuilder Ferocem wrote the second chapter of the Concrete Valley history. After also starting in Rotterdam, it subsequently spread across Europe. Ferrocem designed and produced high-end yachts. Impressive, astonishing yachts, made of high-performance concrete. Virtually indestructible, they continue to sail the world to this day. Approximately 15 years later, microbeton was founded. It was the first company to specialize in building products made of high-performance concrete. With its lightweight elements covering extremely wide spans, this is another impressive producer.

Our craftsmanship in making distinctive concrete products goes back more than 100 years. Over those years, we gained a wealth of experience. This led to new techniques, new solutions, and new directions. The interest in and development of new techniques boomed. The next step was inevitable.

In 2012, we joined forces and formed Concrete Valley. Now, Concrete Valley is where smart new techniques are discovered, ideas are born, and truly unique products created. Together we serve the market by offering innovative concrete solutions for the construction and industrial sector. We are driven by the challenge of creating unique products each and every time. 

WACO

Waco’s rich history goes back to 1888, when Jacob Isaac van Waning VI founded the Rotterdam cement factory Van Waning & Co.

The shipbuilding company Ferrocem was founded in the port of Rotterdam. Ferrocem specialized in the design and production of high-end yachts made of ferrocement.

FERROCEMENT

microbeton

microbeton continued what Ferrocem started, and took it a step further. It was the first company to specialize in building products made of high-performance concrete.

A joining of forces: Concrete Valley was formed, with Waco and microbeton as its members.

mbx

What started as a microbeton spin-off quickly blossomed into a professional production partner, specializing in the production of geometrically complex concrete elements made of high-performance concrete (HPC) and glass fibre-reinforced concrete (GRC).

While Waco, microbeton and mbX focus on producing high-quality precast elements, Concrete Valley Projects organizes the project management and installation of the elements on a turnkey basis.

TIMBER STRUCTURES

The model workshop used to be an integral part of Concrete Valley. On 1 March 2020, it became a separate entity, in order to enhance the quality of the moulds and products, and enable flexible planning.
