Eco Buildings Group plc ("Eco" or the "Company"), a technology-driven modular housing company quoted on AIM, is pleased to provide an operational market update outlining its geographic expansion strategy and technology roll-out which the Board believes will position Eco Buildings to become a leader in affordable, sustainable, high-quality housing delivery.

Dr Etrur Albani, Executive Vice Chairman of Eco Buildings Group plc, commented:

"I am pleased by the progress Eco is making as we continue to successfully expand our technological and manufacturing capacity. Our aim is to deploy our unique technology in all countries where there are acute housing shortages, across both developed and emerging economies.

In the UK, where affordable housing remains one of the most pressing national priorities, we believe our technology offers a ready-to-deploy, scalable solution. We encourage policymakers to explore how innovative approaches like ours can become part of the solution to the country's housing challenge."

Improving Housing Through Technology

The Company has completed the computerisation and integration of the entire modular housing production process, creating a fully automated, high-precision housing manufacturing platforms.

At the heart of the system is the Company's proprietary Vertical Panel Casting Machine (VPCM) combined with Glass Fibre Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG) wall technology, a blend of advanced materials science, precision automation, and architectural flexibility.

Key technological features include:

  • Vertical casting and CNC finishing: Walls are cast with millimetre precision and pre-cut using CNC systems, enabling fast integration of openings and service routes.
  • Structural performance: Panels meet or exceed international standards for fire safety, thermal insulation, acoustic performance and water resistance, tested under ISO 9001 and 17025 regimes in accredited laboratories in Chile, Australia, UAE and Albania.
  • Architectural adaptability: Homes produced using Eco technology can reflect traditional, modern or regional designs, blending seamlessly into local environments.
  • Damp- and mould-free for life: GFRG's natural resistance to water and rot ensures healthier and longer-lasting buildings.
  • Environmental leadership: Eco walls floors and roofs are recyclable and manufactured with significantly lower carbon, water, sand, cement and steel inputs than traditional methods, and are certified under ISO 14001, CE marking and CodeMark.

Each production line can deliver up to six completed homes per day (based on a 60 sqm dwelling), combining speed, precision, quality and sustainability at industrial scale.

Geographic Roll-Out Strategy

The Board's objective is to deploy its technology platform in key markets across the world, enabling governments, developers and communities to address urgent housing needs through a standardised, certified, rapidly deployable system.

The Company's roll-out strategy is built around the following pillars:

Localised Production

Eco establishes local production lines deployed in each country of operation, eliminating shipping delays and costs, reducing carbon footprint, and stimulating local economies.

Minimum Two Lines Per Country

Eco plans to deploy a minimum of two fully operational automated production lines in every country.

  • The first line accelerates pilot delivery and market entry and rapid accretive cash generation
  • The second provides redundancy, scalability, and the capacity to support national housing programmes.
  • Strategic Partnerships

Each deployment is carried out with strong local partners that contribute capital and market access, ensuring long-term alignment and shared success.

  • Phased Regional Expansion
  • Phase 1: Albania, Kosovo, Chile, Senegal and Sudan, addressing regions with the most immediate housing delivery programmes and demonstrating industrial scalability.
  • Phase 2: Western Europe and North America applying the same platform to affordable, sustainable and ESG-compliant housing initiatives in mature markets.

Standardisation and Certification & Global Momentum

All production lines operate under a single global technical and quality framework, enabling uniform performance standards, financing flexibility, and replicable delivery models for governments and institutional partners.

A Scalable Platform for Global Impact

The Board believes Eco's platform represents a real shift in how housing shortages can be resolved. By establishing at least two automated production lines per country, Eco aims to create permanent, high-capacity local industries capable of delivering thousands of homes annually, adapted to local needs but built to a global standard.

The Company is actively progressing developments in Albania, Kosovo, Chile, Senegal and Sudan, while finalising ISO certifications and assessing opportunities in the UK Canada and Germany to support entry into Western markets.

The Company has secured a strong pipeline of projects across multiple jurisdictions. The production line model is designed for rapid replication, enabling Eco Buildings to scale quickly in each market while maintaining consistent global quality and environmental standards.

Eco Buildings has already secured two sales contracts with major construction companies, one in Albania, the other in Kosovo, which are expected to generate gross sales revenue of approximately up to €38 million in total per annum over the first three years (approximately €114 million in total) following Admission.
