President - Dr. Victor Amend, PHD Building Science, has been actively involved in the construction industry since getting his undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering in 1981. For several years, Victor worked as a project manager for a large construction company where he oversaw the development of multi-family, industrial and commercial structures. Following this, Victor decided to return to school to get his PHD and become a lecturer. After a couple of years, Victor decided to enter the construction industry again after discovering an energy efficient home building process using insulated concrete forms (ICF), and started his own environmentally-friendly, green building materials manufacturing facility, Amvic Building System.

How it all Started

In 1998, Victor moved to Toronto, where he began looking for a new home. He was specifically interested in purchasing concrete home due to the various advantages including lasting value, energy efficiency and structural strength.

After spending months looking, Victor was forced to purchase a wood framed house due to the lack of alternatives. Victor saw this as an opportunity to provide the market with a green home building process like ICF, which would make building with concrete more efficient.

After researching the existing ICF market, Victor concluded that the industry lacked an energy efficient product that encompassed quality, strength, innovation, and ease of installation. As a result, he decided to start his own company to produce an ICF that would provide these combined benefits to the consumer.

"When we first examined the ICF industry, two areas for improvement became very apparent. First we observed contractors using a terrific amount of time to assemble products on the job site. Secondly once assembled, these products performed poorly when filled with concrete. We have designed our forms to eliminate these two problems." - Dr. Victor Amend, President

Company History

The first Amvic ICF manufacturing facility was opened in 1999 at 72 Carnforth Road, Toronto, Canada. In January of the same year, the company debuted at the National Association of Home Builders show (NAHB). By June Amvic had established itself in the insulated concrete form (ICF) industry and was producing ICFs for the North American market. Within a few years, they began manufacturing in the United States, where facilities were opened in Missouri, North Carolina and Utah. In November 2002, the company launched an extension to the green home ICF product line with the introduction of expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation for conventional construction.

Today Amvic is an industry leading manufacturer of ICF and EPS Insulation materials as a result of providing products that consistently exemplify exceptional quality, superior strength and ease of installation. Since Amvic started, the company has experienced increasing demand for its products which has led to rapid growth and expansion that is anticipated to continue in the future.
