Composite-Tech and FRP Institute Form Strategic Partnership
Composite-Tech, a leading global manufacturer of equipment for producing GFRP rebar, mesh and bent composite elements, has officially entered a strategic partnership with the FRP Institute, an organization dedicated to the advancement, standardization and certification of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) materials.
This collaboration marks a historic step for the composite reinforcement industry. For the first time, equipment manufacturers, producers and users of FRP products across the world will operate under a unified system of quality control, testing and certification. Together, Composite-Tech and the FRP Institute aim to establish a global benchmark for reliability, performance and compliance in the field of non-corrosive reinforcement.
Raising the Bar for Quality and Trust
Founded in 2022, the FRP Institute works to promote advanced composite materials and sustainable construction solutions. Through its scientific research, educational programs and international cooperation, the Institute plays a key role in shaping awareness about the long-term benefits of FRP reinforcement in civil engineering.
By joining forces with the FRP Institute, Composite-Tech reinforces its commitment to technological excellence, transparency, and standardization. The partnership will help ensure that every rebar, mesh and bent element produced on Composite-Tech lines meets the highest international quality standards, verified and validated by independent experts from FRP Institute.
“This collaboration is not just about technology — it’s about trust,” said Anton Ocunev, CEO of Composite-Tech. “For years, the industry has needed a unified standard to guarantee that every piece of composite reinforcement performs exactly as designed. Together, with the FRP Institute, we are setting that standard.”
A Milestone for the Entire Industry
The partnership between Composite-Tech and FRP Institute will deliver a series of transformative benefits for both manufacturers and end-users:
Global Quality Standardization – Establishing harmonized testing methods, performance benchmarks, and certification protocols for all types of FRP reinforcement, including GFRP rebar, mesh and custom bent elements.
Transparency and Compliance – Providing a verifiable quality assurance framework that increases confidence among builders, contractors and regulators.
Technical Support and Education – Offering training programs, guidance documents and laboratory collaboration for producers who aim to upgrade their manufacturing quality.
Innovation and Research – Promoting R&D projects to enhance material performance, improve resin systems and expand FRP’s structural applications.
Ultimately, this partnership will create a foundation for fair competition, safe construction, and sustainable infrastructure.
Impact on Global Construction Markets
The global construction industry is rapidly shifting toward sustainable, non-corrosive materials. GFRP and other fiber-reinforced composites are becoming the preferred alternative to steel reinforcement in bridges, tunnels, marine structures and high-corrosion environments.
However, until now, the absence of a unified quality standard has slowed down adoption in some regions. The Composite-Tech-FRP Institute alliance addresses this challenge head-on, offering the industry a clear, trusted path to certification and global recognition.
Manufacturers using Composite-Tech equipment will be able to certify their production through the FRP Institute’s system, ensuring their products are accepted by engineers, architects, and government agencies worldwide.
At the same time, project owners and contractors will gain the confidence that every certified FRP product they purchase meets strict durability and mechanical performance requirements.
A New Era of Quality and Cooperation
The partnership between Composite-Tech and the FRP Institute represents more than a business alliance – it is a joint mission to ensure that every piece of composite reinforcement used in the world meets verifiable, traceable and standardized quality criteria.
