When Ludwig Hatschek invented fibre cement in the late 19th century, he combined the basic elements of the earth: minerals, water, air and fire (heat) in a simple filtration process. Our mother company, Etex, has been manufacturing fibre cement materials since 1905, with the most prestigious incarnation in this proud heritage of unique materials being EQUITONE®.
