The cement industry has big plans for the next few years! In order to meet the climate targets that have been set, new technologies, new binding agents and energy sources must be developed and used as quickly as possible.
The need for information on the environmental impact of building materials is growing rapidly. A CO2 calculator from Oris Materials Intelligence might provide deeper insights.

Martin Engineering has restructured its Italian business and relocated to a new purpose-built facility to boost customer service and accelerate growth.
