UK: Concrete admixture manufacturer Oscrete UK has become standalone company following its departure from Christeyns Group. The move is intended to spark a period of investment and allow for a renewed focus on core markets. Oscrete manufactures and supplies a range of super-plasticising admixtures,waterproofing agents and efflorescence controllers for the precast and ready-mix concrete and the ready-to-use mortar industries. It has operated within Christeyns Group since 1983.
Scott Wilson, director of Oscrete UK, said, “The pandemic brought considerable challenges in the construction sector, quickly followed by substantial growth and we’ve recognised we need a bespoke business model dedicated entirely to our industry to facilitate growth, new product development within our in-house development lab and specialist recruitment.
