Domes International, Inc., Part 1

Domes International (Domes) has a factory in Mississippi and offices in Tennessee, U.S.A. The sole overseas factory is in Ahmedabad, India. International offices are located in Nigeria, the Marshall Islands and in India.

Domes manufactures and sells fiberglass (FRP) buildings and other components that it developed over 27 years. During most of its years, Domes manufactured and sold modular domes for housing. However, since a few years ago, Domes has received contracts with Boeing Aerospace, Lockheed and other large corporations to manufacture and supply housing for defense personnel in the Marshall Islands. The modular fiberglass structures are also developed for use in harsh environments, long-term housing and for disaster relief shelters.

In addition to continued contract work with Boeing, Raytheon and other subcontractors of the U.S. Army’s Missile Defense Command, Domes International would like to export contracted products from India, Nigeria and other third world countries.

What makes Domes unique on the market of dome structures is that the molded fiberglass domes are made of interlocking double fiberglass forms that contain thermal barriers. The barriers contain polyurethane foam insulation and, if chosen, a layer of foil. The barrier is sandwiched between the double layers of fiberglass.

Some benefits of the domes are: no maintenance, low heating/cooling costs, good structural strength (ability to withstand winds in excess of 140 miles per hour), fast construction rate, earthquake resistance, water resistance, and portability (the dome can moved to another site).
