Expertise & manufacturing
Integrated expertise, from raw material to product
EMERWALL controls the main stages in the development of its solutions, from raw material to finished product. This expertise rests on three pillars: R&D, industrialisation and production, complemented by quality monitoring at every stage.
R&D
Development and improvement of materials and processes.
Industrialisation
Adapting solutions to production requirements.
Production
Integrated manufacturing within our industrial unit.
Quality
Monitoring of materials, processes and finished products.
Our journey
From the first formulation to industrialisation.
2021
EMERWALL founded in Ducos and first bagasse-based formulations. French Tech Innovation award.
2022
First tests in independent laboratories: fire, acoustics, termites. First pilot project in Le Prêcheur.
2023
Winner of the i-Nov France 2030 competition (ADEME and Bpifrance) and of Réseau Entreprendre Martinique.
2024
GreenTech Innovation label and increase in production capacity.
2025
New acoustic test at CSTB, first project over 1,000 m² and EMERTHERM R&D.
2027
Objective: international development.
From development to industrialisation
Developing a solution does not stop at its design. EMERWALL works at every stage to turn R&D results into reliable processes suited to production. This approach combines research, prototyping, testing, industrialisation and manufacturing.
R&D
Prototyping
Industrialisation
Production
Inspection
EMERWALL also relies on experts and partners specialising in bio-based materials, such as ANDRITZ, CETI, FCBA and KARIBATI, to support the development and characterisation of its solutions. This organisation allows EMERWALL solutions to evolve while ensuring rigorous monitoring of their manufacture.
Our technical partners
ANDRITZ
Defibration process.
CETI
Material characterisation.
FCBA
Durability tests against termites and fungi.
KARIBATI
Life cycle assessment and FDES, Caribbean sustainable construction network.
Our performance is measured by independent laboratories: CSTB, LNE, EFECTIS, Ginger CEBTP and FCBA.

Resources suited to our production
Our site in the ZI Cocotte Canal, in Ducos, brings together the equipment needed to prepare the fibres, process them and manufacture the products.
360+ m²
Production site in Martinique
Integrated R&D
Process development and optimisation
On-site storage
Raw material management all year round
Integrated production
From fibre preparation to finished product
Quality at every stage
Quality is monitored throughout the development and manufacture of EMERWALL solutions.
From raw material to finished product, inspections and tests verify the consistency of the processes and allow the solutions to be continuously improved.
Made in Martinique, designed for international markets
EMERWALL solutions are developed and manufactured in Martinique, in the heart of the French West Indies.
This location brings the resource, development and production closer together, while giving EMERWALL a base from which to develop its solutions in Caribbean and international markets.
