Here's a rundown of some other notable manufacturers of Structural Concrete Insulated Panels (SCIP) besides Vero Building Systems, based on what's out there in the industry. These companies produce similar systems—EPS foam cores with steel mesh, finished with shotcrete—tailored for durable, energy-efficient construction.
- Concrewall USA
- Location: Based in the U.S., with manufacturing tied to their partnership with The Schnell Group of Italy. Exact plant locations aren't widely specified, but they operate as a North American hub.
- Details: Concrewall focuses on "best-in-class" SCIP production, offering panels for walls, floors, and roofs. They emphasize sustainability and disaster resistance, with panels tested for 200 mph winds and high structural loads (e.g., floor panels exceeding 2000 kg/m²). Their system integrates with Schnell Home machinery, and they provide comprehensive services like design assistance and training.
- Ecológica Carmelo Inc. (via Gulf Concrete Technology - GCT)
- Location: GCT, owned by Ecológica Carmelo from Puerto Rico, operates out of Mississippi, USA.
- Details: Their SCIP panels feature EPS cores with electro-welded galvanized steel mesh, finished on-site with their proprietary Carmelo Structural Mortar Mix. They cater to residential, commercial, and industrial projects, with panels supporting up to four-story load-bearing structures. GCT highlights seismic resistance (IBC Section 1613 compliant) and bullet resistance (Level III-A per NIJ standards), backed by a 68-year legacy in concrete products.
- Tridipanel
- Location: Primarily active in California, USA, though their manufacturing base isn't explicitly detailed beyond that.
- Details: Tridipanel produces SCIP panels with a rigid EPS core sandwiched between 11-gauge steel wire mesh, reinforced with 9-gauge trusses. Marketed as disaster-resistant and sustainable, their system is used for homes, ADUs, and retaining walls. Led by CEO Rod Hadrian, with over 20 years of SCIP experience, they focus on modular, energy-efficient construction with a strong West Coast presence.
These manufacturers share the core SCIP concept—lightweight, insulated panels reinforced with steel and concrete—but differ in their branding, regional focus, and slight tweaks to design or application. Others, like Insteel Panelmex (Tridipanel-branded in some markets) or Impac International (Therml-Impac™), pop up in discussions, but details on their current operations are less clear. If you're after specifics—like production capacity, exact locations, or panel variations—just say the word, and I'll dig deeper! Who else are you curious about?
