Giatec® Launches an Accelerated International Expansion in Partnership With Heidelberg Materials
OTTAWA, Ontario, October 25, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Giatec®, world leader in concrete testing technologies, will be attending in full force at Bauma 2022, exhibiting its newly improved line of SmartRock® sensors and AI-based software. With Giatec's recent announcement of a partnership with Heidelberg Materials, its presence at Bauma further cements the joined efforts towards an accelerated international strategy with a shared goal of expanding global digitalization and reducing concrete's carbon footprint. Heidelberg Materials is one of the world's largest integrated manufacturers of building materials and solutions. As it continues to expand its digital offerings with Giatec's technology, the company is creating a best-in-class digital experience for its customers.
Giatec is propelling the development and adoption of industry-leading technology, along with the recently launched SmartMix™, to reduce concrete carbon footprint and optimize processes for its ready-mixed concrete customers. With a combination of Giatec's proprietary smart sensors and AI algorithms, real-time sensor data enables concrete producers to optimize concrete mixes, with up to 20% cement reduction. This translates to a significant reduction in global CO2 emissions equivalent to taking millions of cars off the road.
With partnerships quickly forming between Giatec and Heidelberg Materials' regional offices, Giatec products are currently being implemented in over 9,000 construction projects across 85 countries worldwide.
"Heidelberg Materials' strategic partnership with Giatec is quickly developing a widespread international expansion of best-in-class concrete technology.
