Concrete admixture manufacturer Oscrete has acquired the customers of Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) specialists Cemcotec.
The successful integration of Cemcotec’s customer base into Oscrete’s expanding operations, marks a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing growth strategy and is announced just weeks after Oscrete acquired structural waterproofing specialists, PUDLO, further expanding its portfolio of expertise and services.
The move further strengthens Oscrete’s position as a leading provider of innovative concrete solutions and reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering exceptional service and technical expertise across the construction industry.
Cemcotec founder and GRC specialist Graham T Gilbert continues to provide consultancy to GRC manufacturers while Cemcotec customers will now benefit from the wider Oscrete team’s expertise and services.
Oscrete Director Scott Wilson said: “As part of the transition, we are incredibly proud to continue our collaboration with Graham, a globally respected consultant with over 50 years of experience in GRC. Graham will continue to offer technical consultancy services, supporting Oscrete and our customers with his unparalleled knowledge and insight gained from decades of work on GRC projects around the world.
“We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Cemcotec’s customers into the Oscrete family in a merger which not only strengthens our business but also enhances the level of service and technical support we can offer.”
Commenting on the merger, Graham added: “Having spent more than 50 years in the sector covering all aspects of GRC from research and development to its global roll out and then establishing of Cemcotec in 2005, I wanted a company which could build on these milestones and achievements and provide my customers with additional benefits and expertise.
“Oscrete meets these requirements with their range of concrete additives, full warehousing and logistics network plus excellent laboratory facilities for mix evaluations and comprehensive support services. Having worked with Oscrete for many years, I am delighted to be placing my customers in such safe hands and to announce the start of an exciting new chapter for our customers and for the GRC industry itself.”
