 Our commitment to superior performance gives customers the peace-of-mind that comes with guaranteed technical excellence, top quality products and continuous innovation.
From our Product Development laboratories in Roodepoort, Johannesburg, we work closely with customers to develop and test products to suit particular specifications and applications.
We pride ourselves on being well on the way to becoming the technical centre of choice in the country.
In this same laboratory, we have developed cements with a remarkably low CO2 footprint and make it our business to bring it to the customer’s attention that they can use extremely effective products which contain other industrial by-products or mineral components such as fly ash, granulated blast furnace slag and fine limestone.
The Product Development department supports all our business units from a scientific and technical point of view in a number of ways. We respond to calls from our own employees at the cement and concrete plants or to direct requests from our customers or technical sales teams.
We conduct extensive analyses and forensic investigation of products to pre-empt any shortcomings or weakness observed, determine the exact reasons for those exceptions and develop solutions with our high-tech analytical facilities.
Involved with leading universities, we review projects for the National Research Foundation and assist MSc and PhD students with their theses.
We provide critical professional input to numerous industry boards, also taking part in the Bureau of Standards (SABS) committees, the Cement and Concrete Institute and the Association of Cementitious Producers, where we play a leading role in different technical work groups.
All our production processes and materials as well as final products are put through rigorous and on-going stringent quality assurance tests to ensure nothing short of the best for our customers, allowing them to ‘Build with confidence’.
