Keeping in mind STUS is new company just getting its land legs, I think the long term prospects are very bright, indeed. There will be some hiccoughs along the way, to be sure. The company's products appear to be unique and revolutionary vis a vis traditional Portland concrete and stucco construction. I have a hunch keenly interested parties will soon be beating a path to the company's door in search of that better mousetrap.
Concrete technology has changed little from ancient times, that is, until Structures USA introduced GigaCrete. The Romans used lime and a volcanic dust (pozzolona) or lime and sand as their cement. Later, in A.D. 1824, Joseph Aspdin baked lime, clay and chalk together and called it Portland cement, named for a quarry in Portland, England. The strength of concrete has been improved since Roman times due mainly to the introduction of reinforcing steel rods, not so much due to variations in the overall concrete mix or the cement. GigaCrete panels, using a proprietary binder rather Portland cement, require no reinforcing steel rods.
The North American Portland Cement industry is immensely powerful and wealthy and will not go quietly. We all know how cash-laden corporate interests block advances in technology and beneficial changes in business and industrial practices by buying off whorish politicians or swallowing the upstarts. The Portland Cement lobby not only writes construction guidelines, it also plays a major role in regulating the building industry.
In a nutshell, the strategy seems to be: do an end run around Goliath, rather than engage him face to face. I think the last PR indicates this approach. ninjaturtle
