Blocktec pioneers green innovation in construction industry

BLOCKTEC Trading Inc. proudly unveils its revolutionary autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks, heralding a new era of eco-friendly building materials in the Philippines. Developed by a Swedish architect and inventor with the name of Johan Axel Eriksson in the 1920s, AAC blocks are made by combining cement, lime, sand, water and a foaming agent that is aerated under pressure in an autoclave.

As a leading local brand in AAC technology, Blocktec is dedicated to tackling the prevailing challenges that are plaguing the construction industry. Rising labor and material costs, environmental concerns and the sluggish adoption of advanced technologies by Filipino builders are all obstacles that Blocktec aims to overcome through its sustainable AAC solutions.

Blocktec AAC blocks boast a myriad of benefits, including thermal insulation properties, lightweight yet high-compressive strength and rapid installation capabilities. AAC blocks present a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional building materials.
