Eco Buildings Group (AIM:ECOB) founder and executive vice chairman Dr Etrur Albani joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with news that the company has kicked off construction of its second-generation, AI-enabled manufacturing platform at its production facility in Durres, Albania. This follows the successful completion of its recent £2.35 million. Albani said the first production line proved the underlying technology, while the new platform focuses on efficiency, lower labour costs and smarter manufacturing through AI-driven predictive maintenance, automated quality control and intelligent production systems. Real-world data from the first line, identifying efficiency gains, reducing downtime and improving consistency, has directly shaped the new platform's design. "Everything is controlled. Everything is data-driven," he said. On growth, Albani explained that Eco plans to scale through manufacturing capacity rather than labour-intensive methods, with ambitions to deploy dozens of production lines globally. He described Eco as a housing technology business built on advanced materials, automation and data-driven manufacturing, with near-term opportunities across Europe alongside continued activity in Latin America, Central America and parts of Africa.
