Model/Z Closes $32M NMTC Deal to Finance Factory-Built Housing

Los Angeles – October 15, 2026 -- Model/Z, a Los Angeles volumetric modular manufacturer, has closed a $32 million New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) transaction to finance production of modular units for affordable and workforce housing developments.

Financing targets the gap on modules still inside the factory

Traditional construction financing was built around structures erected directly on real estate. Many lenders are therefore reluctant or unable to advance funds for modules that are still in a factory. That forces developers or manufacturers to carry millions of dollars in production costs themselves, which delays projects and erodes the efficiencies of modular construction.

The NMTC deal gives Model/Z a working capital line to start manufacturing modules ahead of a project's on-site construction schedule. Factory output can then run in parallel with foundation and utility work, and the company can keep production steadier.

GETO Brings Formwork and Modular Housing to 140th Canton Fair

Guangzhou – October 15, 2026 -- GETO will exhibit green building formwork, scaffolding, prefabricated construction and modular housing across two booths at Phase 2 of the 140th Canton Fair, running October 23 to 27 in Guangzhou.

GETO splits its Canton Fair presence between formwork and modular housing booths

The formwork and scaffolding booth is located in Hall 13.1, F05-07 and E41-42. The modular housing booth is in Hall 12.0, B03.

Aluminium and steel tunnel formwork samples anchor the physical display

GETO will show an aluminium formwork sample house built to demonstrate modular design and efficient installation. A steel tunnel formwork structure casts walls and slabs simultaneously and targets beamless shear-wall villas and apartments. The company will also present standardized, reusable aluminium column formwork.
