The James Hardie brand was founded more than 130 years ago in Australia, and fully developed cement-fiber technology in the mid-1980s. Since then, James Hardie has produced a wide range of cement-fiber products for interior and exterior applications. These materials, which include FSC-certified cellulose fibers, among others, are characterized by high strength, durability and versatility. All James Hardie cement-fiber products are non-combustible (A2) in accordance with EN 13501-1, while being environmentally friendly and sustainably produced.
An ideal complement to the James Hardie product portfolio are Fermacell gypsum-fiber boards. The first of these, and thus the first gypsum-fiber board in Germany, rolled off the production line at the Münchehof plant near Goslar in the early 1970s. This laid the foundation for the brand's success. The high-quality, particularly stable structural and at the same time finishing board fundamentally changed the entire drywall industry, making the brand big and strong. Today, Fermacell gypsum-fiber boards and waterproof and weatherproof cement-fiber boards PowerpanelH2Oand Powerpanel HD are synonymous with fast and economical expansion concepts for all areas of construction.
