Why this company matters

Fortex is a Singapore-based construction technology service provider that specializes in on-site 3D concrete printing (3DCP) for structural elements and infrastructure. Founded in 2022, the company addresses labor shortages in the construction sector by automating the printing of load-bearing walls directly at the job site, reducing manpower requirements by up to 50% and compressing structural wall construction from weeks to two days. This approach moves beyond traditional off-site precast methods, enabling faster timelines and less material waste.

The company operates as an exclusive regional distributor and technical integrator for COBOD International's BOD2 3D construction printer in Singapore and Australia. Fortex combines COBOD's hardware with local expertise in Singapore's Building and Construction Authority (BCA) standards to deliver on-site printing services for structural walls, urban furniture, and infrastructure. It also offers material mix design consulting to optimize concrete formulations for printability and structural performance.

Fortex's primary customers are government agencies and large-scale civil engineering contractors. Notable projects include Singapore's first on-site 3D-printed childcare centre in Bidadari (2024), completed for the Housing & Development Board (HDB) and Ministry of Education (MOE). The company also collaborates with Nanyang Technological University's Singapore Centre for 3D Printing (SC3DP) on R&D. Its strategic moat lies in exclusive COBOD distribution rights and proven execution within Singapore's stringent regulatory environment, though it faces competition from CyBe Construction and other 3DCP service providers entering the region.
