- Basanite, Inc. (OTCQB: BASA), through its wholly owned subsidiary Basanite Industries, LLC, manufactures and sells basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) products for concrete reinforcement in the construction industry worldwide; core offerings include BasaFlex, a BFRP reinforcing bar serving as a non-corrosive, lightweight alternative to steel rebar for residential, commercial, industrial slabs on grade, hydraulic structures, precast elements, tunneling, mining containment, and masonry strengthening; BasaMix, fine denier basalt fibers that mitigate early-age plastic shrinkage and settlement cracking while enhancing toughness in slab-on-grade and precast applications; and BasaMesh, basalt geogrid mesh rolls replacing welded wire mesh for secondary and temperature shrinkage reinforcement, all designed to extend concrete lifecycles by preventing spalling from steel corrosion. The company, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Branford, Connecticut following a 2025 relocation from Pompano Beach, Florida, targets infrastructure, marine, high-voltage, and de-icing exposed projects with sustainable, low-carbon footprint solutions sold via third-party distributors primarily in the United States. Recent developments encompass significant board and executive changes in August 2025, with directors Andrew Acquarulo Jr., Paul Sallarulo, Sergio Salani, and Fred Tingberg resigning alongside CFO Jacqueline Placeres and CTO Fred Tingberg, leaving Manuel Rodriguez, Adam Falkoff, and Ronald LoRicco on the board with LoRicco assuming interim CEO and CFO roles; ongoing federal litigation against Upstate Custom Products over undelivered custom pultrusion machines; paused manufacturing operations with plans to restart in 2026 pending new facility securing and approximately $6 million in financing; Q3 2025 revenue of $1,513 and nine-month revenue of $67,459 amid zero cash reserves, $10.1 million liabilities, and going concern doubts addressed via related-party convertible notes and shareholder loans; and strategic exploration of basalt BFRP opportunities alongside potential investments in energy, mining, cryptocurrency, and healthcare.
