Gulf Concrete Technology (GCT)

GCT offers US and Caribbean markets access to innovative Structural Concrete Insulated Panels (SCIPs), so construction projects can be designed to withstand hurricanes, earthquakes, and water surges, with the added sustainable value of energy efficiency. We use M2 Machinery from Italy to manufacture the SCIPs. Our goal was and is to meet the needs of the customers and local construction challenges of homeowners and contractors. This led us to testing our panels with independent labs and obtaining a Technical Evaluation Report (TER) certification. We have been in operation for more than 12 years and are owned by Carmelo Group, a leading company in the concrete building products and aggregates business for over 68 years located in Puerto Rico. Our innovative SCIP panels are changing the game for the construction industry by offering thermal insulation, quick installation, and architectural freedom for residential and commercial projects. We are enthusiastic to support you as you build your ideal project with GCT panels, alongside our team.
