Our company
Mykor develops and scales the next generation of building insulation that considers both human and planet health.
We provide an alternative to conventional insulation with low embodied carbon and higher performance. We collaborate with contractors and prefabrication manufacturers to deliver our insulation via a construction system approach.
Where we are
Montemor-O-Novo, Portugal
Our pilot factory is in Montemor-o-Novo, considering the proximity of industrial residues used in our products but also taking advantage of the large solar gains ensuring our electricity is at least 75% solar fuelled year round.
