N°1 for mineralised granulated wood chips

Situated in the heart of the Vosges forests in France  AGRESTA TECHNOLOGIES has proved to become the leader in its field since 20 years manufacturing granulated wood chips.    

Managed by Daniel Gaillard, Agresta Technologies exports to the world market a large range of products for those concerned with construction and local environmental projects.

A development which is the result of unequalled research work in order to obtain highly technological products in constant respect to the environment. 

The gem of Agresta, a technological treasure!

Developed from a unique tree variety-Spruce-the ‘gem’ of  Agresta is stabilized by a thermal treatment and then mineralised. The resulting wood chip conserves its properties of elasticity and resistance without any variation in size.

This effort of selection, reinforced by the unique method of transformation of the Spruce wood chips has allowed the Vosgian company to become an active supplier to the constructional and environmental global market.

The only wood aggregate with a recognised technical standard.

The weight of individual products has become an important factor in many aspects, the building industry is particularly concerned, especially when renovating old buildings. Agresta Technologies has developed an aggregate for concrete with all the guarantees necessary for the production of a light weight concrete which has incomparable acoustic and insulating  properties. The product Agreslith-C of Agresta Technologies is the only wood chip aggregate on the market which has a technical CSTB standard certificate. This has resulted in Agresta Technologies being the excusive supplier to the GEOXIA GROUP for the construction of all the precast concrete fabricated villas of Maison Phenix, a leading French construction company of prefabricated villas.

A light weight concrete that can be directly nailed and screwed!!

Equally employed since several years for the fabrication of acoustic walls Agreslith-C has attracted many builders and construction companies to apply the high tech product which is easily utilised. The light weight concrete can be directly nailed into or screwed into!!! All light weight concrete mixtures fabricated with Agreslith-C are 5 times lighter than traditional concrete. As a result of the high performance mechanical properties such as compression or flexibility, Agreslith-6 is used in the construction of new buildings or for renovation projects.
