Pinned straw:
I have been to FBR and seen the machine in action a couple of years ago. Potential is obviously huge, particularly where they build cookie cutter homes as in the US.
The patents are strong, but bear in mind it has been a long road to here with many iterations to get it working well. The hydraulics and placement technologies are key.
Having Brickworks and by inference WSP certainly helps, but having built and run a technology company in Perth, it's a very tough road to commercialisation of anything.
I suspect still a year or two until meaningful revenue, but who knows.
I did a little bit of research recently on this one. I agree I think it’s a very interesting technology with potential. My concern here is potential dilution to get to revenue/break even - as they are still losing money at a significant clip. I don’t think this bothers Brickworks as they don’t appear to be looking at it through their normal rigorous investment lens but as a way to increase efficiency in their traditional brick business. Worth watching though.
Very interesting company and product @lastever... I might have to look a little deeper into this one.
