THE PROMOTER
The promoter is an International Building Company that was established in 2014. The company, headquartered in the USA, is operational worldwide and is currently in the process of building additional CAFboard factories in Nigeria, Ukraine, Vietnam, China, and Russia. The promoter’s products are registered trademarks.
PRODUCT
The promoter’s business consists of the production and manufacturing of panels constructed of – using a patented heat and pressure process invented in Sweden in 1933 – Compressed Agricultural Fiber, CAFboard using wheat or rice straw. This heat and pressure process causes internal resins – lignin – to exude and bond the straw together forming hard, durable one and one-half inch to three inch thick panels (1 1/2” to 3”) that are four feet wide and typically eight feet (4’ x 8’), (though they can be made longer).
These 100% sustainable panels – CAFboard – contain no toxic residues or hazardous chemicals. They are completely natural. Wheat and rice farmers can now convert straw, a by-product of these grains, into a commercially acceptable durable building product. In the US alone, over 12 million tons of straw goes unused annually, releasing carbon pollutants into the environment each year as it biodegrades. Using the straw to produce CAFboard panels for construction and other products is much more environmentally friendly and converts this by-product into lucrative commerce. CAFboard emits zero VOC’s and zero CO2 into our environment.
According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NERL) U.S. Life Cycle Inventory Database, it takes 8,196 BTU/lb to manufacture gypsum board, and this number only accounts for the natural gas used in the gypsum board drying process. CAFboard panels consume approximately 328 BTU/lb to manufacture using only 4% of the energy used to manufacture gypsum board (gypsum board uses nearly 25 times more energy to manufacture).
MARKET
The promoter’s manufactures and builds using these CAFboard panels for such uses as: housing and buildings, soundproofing, pallets, furniture, cabinetry and virtually anything built currently out of conventional building materials. The US Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) program as well as independent testing by United Laboratories has certified: CAFboard is fire resistant to over two hours to direct flame; CAFboardis ten times stronger than drywall; CAFboard is mold and mildew resistant. Further, CAFboard is naturally pest resistant, can be used in interior and exterior applications and can be nailed, screwed, sawed, or otherwise used in a similar manner as conventional building materials. CAFboard can be painted, stained, or covered with veneers or other coverings.
The promoter’s has obtained land for the construction of CAFboard factories, in Vietnam, Nigeria, Ukraine, and is in negotiations in Russia, China, Brazil, and Costa Rica to obtain land for additional CAFboard factories. The promoter is receiving millions of dollars in tax credits, abatements, and offsets in many of these cases which are not reflected in the financial projections. Ultimately, they will construct 20 CAFboard factories around the world.
The promoter’s have also negotiated a joint venture as well as Supply/Home Construction contracts with an African agricultural and industrial investment group to produce CAFboard as well as construct homes in Western & Central Africa and the US, to include the construction of a factory in Nigeria.
In an effort to insulate itself against weaknesses in the construction industry in the future, is aggressively marketing CAFboard to other market segments:
CAFboard marketing emphasis is on durability, price point/cost savings, sustainability, and the environment. Once production is up to scale, The promoter is uniquely positioned to aggressively compete successfully with any conventional materials currently used.
