Appro-Techno proposes a full construction system
for a minimum investment.

  • Already a village brick factory (a manual press with moulds) upon 3 900 USD.
  • A semi motorised brick factory : 39 00 USD.
  • A complete motorised brick factory : 190 000 USD.

The compressed earth block have today his self norms etablished by CRATerre –EAG. This center is the scientific foundation of the earth construction in the world (http://www.craterre.archi.fr)

The tile in fibro-mortar also has its own scientific basis that is supported by the Center of Swiss Cooperation (http://www.skat.ch)

Our production machines enable the use of little qualified manpower and an easy maintenance by little equipped local craftsmen.

Since 1979, 3000 machines have been sold in 110 countries around the world.

Our concept permitted the creation of numerous SME-PMIS, in the countries of the South notably. We estimate that every bricks press creates 6 direct jobs in the sector of the brickyard, and even more indirectly in the building.

The use of local materials allows at the same time the protection of the environment.
