Project Profiles
FORTA products have played an important role improving the performance and durability of concrete for over 30 years, creating a history of "Reinforcing the Future – Worldwide". From our original asphalt-reinforcing product, FORTA AR®, to the current FORTA-FI family of products, our focus has been on improving the performance of traditional asphalt mixtures through applied fiber-reinforcement technology. Our legacy of innovation began with our first patent for an asphalt-reinforcing fiber product in 1982, and now continues into the future with FORTA-FI.
