In our central research facility, an international team of specialists works on the development and optimisation of our products. Interdisciplinary cooperation between building material technologists, mineralogists and chemists generates synergies and innovations. In this way we take into account the requirements of our customers, technical change and progress in the construction industry.

Our great strength is the interplay of the five brands in a network. It enables synergies across all regions, brands and product groups. Local presence ensures customer proximity and service performance, regional raw material concepts and optimised warehousing for efficient purchasing, modern internal infrastructure for fast decision-making processes. In this way core markets are consolidated.
