OLYMPUS® is an Italian company specializing in the development of innovative technologies and advanced materials for the construction industry, with a specific focus on
structural strengthening and seismic retrofitting of existing buildings. The company’s activity centers on the design and production of high-performance composite systems for reinforcing reinforced concrete structures, masonry, and historic buildings, through solutions developed to improve the safety, durability, and efficiency of interventions. The range includes FRP, FRCM, and CRM systems, technologies that are now central to the field of structural engineering because they make it possible to intervene effectively with lightweight, minimally invasive applications compatible with the needs of building heritage rehabilitation. Throughout OLYMPUS®’s journey, innovation, technical reliability, and attention to sustainability come together in a proposition aimed at designers, contractors, and construction industry professionals.
OLYMPUS®: history, specialization, and development in structural strengthening systems
For more than twenty years, OLYMPUS® has been operating in the field of composite materials for construction, steadily consolidating specialist know-how in the design of systems for seismic improvement and retrofitting. The company’s growth is tied to a path grounded in applied research and the continuous updating of construction technologies, with the goal of providing reliable tools for the rehabilitation of existing buildings and infrastructure. Within this context, OLYMPUS® has developed a technical offering that responds to the needs of a market increasingly oriented toward certified, durable solutions that comply with current regulations. The systems produced by the company are in fact CVT certified by the Consiglio Superiore dei Lavori Pubblici and CE marked, in accordance with the main Italian and European regulatory references. This technical and regulatory framework has helped define the brand’s identity, now recognized as a specialized player in the field of structural safety and the rehabilitation of the built environment. An important role in this development path is also played by collaboration with universities, research centers, and industry professionals, fostering an ongoing dialogue between experimentation, performance verification, and on-site application.
OLYMPUS® FRP, FRCM, and CRM systems for structural strengthening and seismic retrofitting
At the core of OLYMPUS® production are composite systems for structural strengthening, structured around FRP, FRCM, and CRM technologies developed to increase the mechanical and seismic performance of existing buildings. These are solutions used in the strengthening of structural elements in reinforced concrete, masonry, and heritage constructions, where it is necessary to combine the effectiveness of the intervention with weight reduction and limited operational invasiveness. The company develops high-performance systems designed to ensure continuity between materials research, production process control, and application reliability, providing the construction sector with technical tools capable of addressing different design contexts. Alongside the performance component, OLYMPUS® assigns a central role to environmental sustainability, as demonstrated by the adoption of the EPD Process environmental certification, which attests to the company’s attention to assessing environmental impacts throughout the life cycle of the systems it produces. Added to this is a management system compliant with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards, documenting an approach oriented toward quality, environmental management, and occupational health and safety. Through this framework, OLYMPUS® presents itself as a technical partner for structural strengthening and seismic rehabilitation projects, with a vision that integrates material innovation, certified reliability, and responsibility throughout the construction process.
