EVA-LAST’S LAUNCH PRESENTATION AT IBS 2024: TRAILBLAZING SUSTAINABLE BUILDING SOLUTIONS FOR THE AMERICAS
Eva-Last, the pioneering global manufacturer of composite building products, showcased its innovative solutions and unwavering commitment to sustainability at the International Builders’ Show (IBS) 2024 in Las Vegas.
Established in South Africa in 2006 with a vision and passion for revolutionizing the building products industry, Eva-Last has since expanded its influence across more than 30 countries, including key markets in Africa, Europe, and Australasia. With the recent acquisition of Fortress Deck and the establishment of Eva-Last Americas in August 2023, the company is poised to make a significant mark in the Americas building materials market.
“Our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea – to deliver innovative, sustainable composite building products that enhance lives and contribute to a sustainable future for all,” said Marc Minne, Eva-Last CEO and Co-Founder. “Today, we are proud to be actively engaged in the largest composite market, with full control over our product offerings.”
Eva-Last’s commitment to sustainability and durability is evident in their slogan, “Inspired by Nature, Designed for Life.” By incorporating bamboo and recycled plastic in their manufacturing process, along with utilizing solar power in the manufacturing process, the company ensures holistic sustainability in both production and product usage. Together with a meticulous approach to innovative designs and highly advanced material technologies, Eva-Last ensures it maintains its reputation for designing quality products that outperform wood in any environment.
“Our product ranges, including decking, cladding, fencing, architectural beams, fasteners, and indoor flooring, are carefully designed and tested to meet various global market conditions,” added Minne. “What sets us apart is our comprehensive approach as a composite building materials supplier, offering a complete family of products to meet diverse needs.”
Eva-Last Product Offerings for the Americas Market:
Eva-Last proudly introduced a selection of our premium product lines tailored specifically for the Americas market. “Each product line has been meticulously designed and tested to meet the unique needs and demands of customers in this region,” said Minne.
Decking Category: Eva-Last decking solutions, including Pioneer, Apex Plus, Apex, Infinity, and Eva-tech, offer exceptional durability, aesthetics, and sustainability. From rare wood replications to hardwearing capped bamboo composites, these products provide the perfect balance of beauty and performance for outdoor spaces in the Americas. Pioneer, as the flagship offering in Eva-last’s decking range, employs photorealistic print technology to create the most natural looking composite finish available in the range. Together with its glass fiber-reinforced core, Pioneer accommodates extended span requirements, requiring fewer sub-structural supports. What’s more, the advanced board composition equates to a reduction in the board’s expansion and contraction, resulting in a flawless finish, while the sophisticated wear layer protects against fading, scratches, moisture and stains offering uncompromised long-term performance.
Cladding Category: VistaClad, an advanced bamboo composite cladding system, revolutionizes how cladding works thanks to an innovative clip strip which locks boards into place using reliable and highly durable spring technology. Designed for easy installation and available in either Apex or Infinity composite board technologies, VistaClad provides a flawless finish with its hidden fixing that is also low-maintenance and weather-resistant.
Architectural Beams Category: Ultraspan hybrid aluminum bamboo composite beams provide the creativity and resilience needed for outdoor architectural designs, offering enhanced stability and weather resistance without compromising on aesthetics. These multifunctional beams, used most notably for pergolas and screens, offer the span capability of much heavier, solid beams thanks to their built-in aluminum core which also significantly enhances the dimensional and flexural stability of the beam. What’s more, Ultraspan’s bamboo composite coating provides a realistic timber aesthetic which is resistant to severe climatic conditions and biodegradation.
Fencing Category: Eva-Last offers two resilient and sustainably viable bamboo composite fencing product ranges, Evolver and Oasis. The Evolver fencing range pairs Infinity capped bamboo composite with a corrosion resistant aluminum framing system for a premium fencing option. Oasis fencing offers a cost-effective alternative that utilizes Eva-tech bamboo composite that installs just like wood.
Fasteners Category: HULK Fasteners are purposefully designed to simplify decking installations, providing highly durable hidden fastener options and color-matching top fixing screws for a seamless finish. What’s more, Chain Collated Decking Clips are ingeniously designed to accommodate composite or timber boards of different thicknesses and to be compatible with both timber and metal frames, resulting in a more cost-effective and efficient installation process. When paired with the Chain Hand Tool, the installation efficiency of the collated clip system is further optimized, ensuring seamless and hassle-free assembly.
Indoor Flooring Category: TIER Element is a luxury innovative indoor flooring choice that uses cutting-edge high-resolution direct digital print technology to provide a remarkably natural aesthetic, offering the look of wood with minimal repeat patterns, without harming the environment. TIER’s 100% recyclable polymer composite core is free of PVC and phthalates and offers exceptionally stability, sound suppression, and resistance to heat and water. This UFLPA-compliant flooring is manufactured using recyclable materials and solar energy, presenting a sustainable product choice that prioritizes environmental responsibility.
These product lines have been carefully selected to meet the diverse needs of Eva-last’s customers in the Americas market, offering innovative solutions that enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of residential and commercial projects.
Eva-Last’s dedication to supporting the market extends beyond product innovation. The company is set to launch multi-faceted marketing strategies encompassing above the line advertising, digital and social media campaigns, website development, training academies, and more, to enhance brand awareness and support their network of distributors.
“Since August, we’ve expanded our distributor network, welcoming significant industry players in both the USA and Canada,” continued Minne. “We are committed to nurturing these relationships and furthering our mission of bringing innovative, environmentally friendly products to end-users.”
Eva-Last’s participation at IBS 2024 underscores the company’s commitment to sustainability, innovation, and success in the Americas market. With a comprehensive range of products tailored for this region and a dedication to delivering high-quality, environmentally friendly building solutions, Eva-Last is on a fast track to success.
