Bemo USA merging metal and ETFE as architectural elements

Bemo USA Corporation, the leader in freeform architectural metals, is now a leading engineering and installation components company for ETFE foil construction. Bemo USA expertise includes architectural metals and ETFE foil. We give the most forward-thinking architects the potential to imagine and design monumental building envelopes never seen before.

ETFE (ETHYLENE TETRA FLOURO ETHYLENE) was developed by Dupont in the 1970s as an insulation material for the aerospace industry. The properties of ETFE were discovered as a new building material for its strength, weight and translucent light transmission. In the decades since, ETFE has been used from small buildings to monumental signature buildings like the Allianz Arena in Germany, Atlanta’s Mercedes Benz Stadium, China’s Olympic Water Cube and many more. ETFE foil is used as a far lighter alternative to glass with 10% of the weight while providing high natural light transmission that eliminates harmful UV rays. Beyond the robust properties of EFTE, structures with foil can be transformed nightly with a variety of lighting options that create stunning visual effects.

Now Bemo USA's world-class capabilities for forming metal panels for the entire building envelope and the additional integration of ETFE foil to a light-weight spaceframe structure can create signature projects that are only limited by imagination.

We have a combined experience designing, engineering, and consulting for architects and general contractors to manufacture and install ETFE foil around the world. Beyond providing services to ETFE film projects, we have a proven line of installation components developed specifically to attach ETFE foil pillows to a structure and the infrastructure to keep it inflated. To keep each pillow properly inflated, we have engineered air-handling equipment, tubbing, and connector nozzles that provide steady air pressure for a long-lasting eye-catching structure.
