PLASTBAU® technology represents a revolution in modern construction. It is an advanced system that combines industrialized production, high-performance EPS elements, and smart processes to achieve faster, safer, more environmentally friendly, and more cost-effective building construction.
This technology enables the construction of family homes, residential buildings, commercial facilities, and swimming pools — without traditional on-site masonry work, with significantly shorter construction times and greatly improved energy efficiency.
More than 60 years of innovation
The PLASTBAU® system was created in 1979, when Italian innovator and EPS technology expert Mr. Piero Crettideveloped the first machine for the continuous production of EPS elements reinforced with metal components. This marked the foundation of a technology that remains a global standard in modular and energy-efficient construction today.
His team at PLASTEDIL, the sole owner of the patented PLASTBAU® system, has been developing machines, plants, and solutions for the production of PLASTBAU® construction elements for more than six decades, while also providing technical support, maintenance, and technological upgrades.
What makes PLASTBAU® technology advanced?
Industrialized, modular construction
The elements are manufactured in controlled factory conditions, ensuring consistent quality, minimal errors, and fast on-site assembly.
Exceptional energy efficiency
PLASTBAU® elements are made of high-quality expanded polystyrene (EPS), providing excellent thermal insulation, reducing energy consumption, and making buildings highly economical to live in.
Faster and simpler construction
Thanks to precise modularity and the lightweight nature of the elements, buildings can be erected up to 70% faster compared to traditional construction, with the entire process carried out without the need for conventional masonry work.
Cost savings throughout the building’s entire lifecycle
Lower construction costs, minimal maintenance, and reduced energy consumption make the PLASTBAU® system one of the most cost-effective solutions on the market.
Strong structure and safety
The metal reinforcement within the elements provides high mechanical strength, earthquake resistance, and long-term durability.
Sustainability and environmental protection
Reduced material consumption, minimal waste, and low CO₂ emissions make the PLASTBAU® system an environmentally responsible solution for the future.
Why do we need this technology?
The demand for faster, higher-quality, and more affordable construction has never been greater. Traditional construction processes cannot keep up with market needs — there is a shortage of labor, productivity is stagnating, and costs are rising.
At the same time, the construction sector has a significant environmental impact, and living costs in an average home can account for up to 40% of a household budget.
PLASTBAU® provides a solution to all these challenges.
Smart construction enables the building of homes that are:
- Faster to build
- More cost-effective to operate
- More energy-efficient
- Safer and more durable
- More accessible to the wider market
Bringing PLASTBAU® technology to Croatia
In collaboration with our Italian partner PLASTEDIL and local partners, PLAST BAU INTERNATIONAL is developing and introducing PLASTBAU® technology to the regional market.
Construction of a modular housing factory is underway in the municipality of Orehovica in Međimurje, with its opening planned for 2027. Until then, modules are imported from Italy, ensuring the same high quality and standards.
