ABOUT US
Pioneering the future of construction through innovative 3D concrete printing technology.
Zavhy is a Dutch deeptech startup transforming the construction industry through advanced 3D concrete printing (3DCP) technology. Founded in 2020 by Zeeshan Yunus Ahmed as a spin-off from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Zavhy addresses critical challenges such as sustainability, productivity, and labour shortages by digitalising and automating construction processes. Its proprietary innovations, the Reinforcement Entrainment Device (RED) and Fibre Reinforcement Entrainment Device (FRED), enhance the structural integrity of 3D-printed concrete while reducing cement usage and carbon emissions. Zavhy’s technology minimises material waste, accelerates project timelines, and reduces reliance on manual labour, all while improving safety by automating hazardous tasks. The flexibility of 3D printing also allows for complex, customised architectural designs that are often impractical with conventional methods. Through strategic partnerships and a strong focus on innovation, Zavhy is advancing the construction industry toward a more digital, sustainable future, supporting affordable housing and fostering high-tech skills in robotics, automation, and digital design.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to empower the construction industry through the adoption of 3D concrete printing technology, driving automation and digitisation to overcome challenges in productivity, affordability, and sustainability.
OUR VISION
Zavhy is dedicated to designing and delivering innovative solutions for housing and infrastructure that are not only inclusive and sustainable but also accessible and affordable to communities of all backgrounds.
OUR MOTTO
Building Tomorrow, Sustainably Today
CORE VALUES
The fundamental principles that guide our innovation and shape our approach to revolutionising the construction industry.
Responsibility
Responsibility is at the core of who we are. We invest in our people by fostering growth, development, and well-being. Beyond our team, we recognise our obligation to the world around us. The planet is ours to care for, not to own, but to protect for those who come after us. We take full ownership of our impact, striving to create lasting, positive value for both society and the environment.
Reliability
A deal is a deal. We keep our word, because trust is built on consistency. Our focus isn’t short-term gain but long-term relationships, with both customers and suppliers. We build on a solid, stable foundation, creating continuity in our business and in the communities we serve.
Inspiration
We spark inspiration through our products, environments, and company culture. By empowering our colleagues and partners with meaningful, purpose-driven work, we fuel innovation and growth. This momentum carries through to our customers, as we create living spaces that uplift and enable people to thrive, both professionally and personally.
Integrity
We act with honesty, transparency, and fairness in everything we do, because true innovation begins with integrity. As we strive to develop solutions that protect and preserve our planet, we are guided by ethical principles, even when the path is challenging. We treat others and the Earth with respect, understanding that trust and lasting progress are built through consistent, responsible actions. By combining innovation with accountability, we create a future where technology and sustainability go hand in hand.
Sustainability
The world faces major environmental challenges, and we’re committed to being part of the solution. We believe sustainability is the only path forward. That’s why we support six of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and put them into action. Our goal: a better, healthier world for everyone.
Innovation
We don’t just adapt, we lead. Innovation drives our growth and shapes the future of our industry. By embracing new technologies, materials, and ideas, we constantly improve our products, services, and ways of working. We encourage curiosity, experimentation, and continuous learning throughout our organisation.
Collaboration
We believe great things happen when people work together. Whether it's within our teams, with partners, or in the communities we serve, collaboration is the key to meaningful progress. We build on each other’s strengths, listen actively, and grow stronger through shared success.
