Enhancing Saint-Gobain's digital solutions throughout the concrete and cement value chains, the company has acquired Maturix. Based in Demark, Maturix is one of the leading providers of real-time concrete montioring solutions.
Saint-Gobain hopes that this acquisition will further enable concrete customers to reduce overdesign and optimize operations. They add that the acquisition demonstrates the Group’s commitment to expanding its offer of integrated digital solutions for its customers. Other brands within the Saint-Gobain group in the concrete space include: Chryso, GCP Applied Technologies, Norton, Norton Clipper, among others.
Maturix's wireless sensor technology allows remote real-time monitoring of concrete properties during the curing and hardening process, enabling contractors to optimize their operations and ease traceability requirements. This reduces the duration of the concrete construction cycle by up to 50 percent and improves job-site efficiency, all while improving concrete quality and ensuring a high level of structural performance. Maturix and Saint-Gobain have successfully collaborated since 2019.
Saint-Gobain spearheaded the digital transformation of the concrete industry initiated by GCP with Verifi, its market-leading digital in-transit concrete management suite, deployed across three continents (North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific). Verifi uses real-time monitoring to reduce waste, improve operational performance and drive cost efficiencies. Maturix perfectly complements Verifi in optimizing concrete placement on site. The two companies are already working on a joint offering.
Sid Singh, CEO of Verifi, commented:
By combining the data and digital expertise of Maturix and Verifi with Saint-Gobain's leadership in concrete admixtures, we will unlock new use cases for the Group’s customers. We will provide them with personalized recommendations to manage their operations with increased visibility and precision to reduce their costs and environmental impact.
