Precast Concrete Platform PPG to become Ultra-Low carbon by
January 2022
SigmaRoc, the AIM quoted buy-and-build construction materials
group, is pleased to announce that from January 2022 its Precast
Products Group platform (PPG) will offer Ultra-Low carbon
cement-free products for its entire product portfolio, thereby
extending the Greenbloc range. In doing so, it will be the first
precast products producer in the UK to make this commitment and
transition.
This announcement follows the launch of Greenbloc - the first
ever cement-free alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC)
concrete blocks - in February 2021.
The Greenbloc range, which also extends to bespoke solutions,
will be manufactured at all of our PPG manufacturing sites located
across the country, to provide the broadest geographical reach of
any precast concrete product supplier in the UK, while also
minimising carbon emissions throughout the supply chain.
Max Vermorken, CEO of SigmaRoc, commented:
"When we launched Greenbloc we were the first to bring to market
an Ultra-Low Carbon solution to one of the most used building
products. The interest shown by our customers was beyond anything
we had expected and encouraged us to press on. With this
announcement we go one step further in a journey which has only
just started."
Michael Roddy, Managing Director of SigmaRoc's Precast Products
Group ('PPG'), commented:
"Greenbloc set the bar for bringing a cement-free alternative to
a traditional building material into mainstream use, but it was
only ever the start of our low-carbon journey.
The benefits of using cement as a building material are
undisputed from an application perspective, however the carbon
required in the manufacturing process cannot be ignored.
Our aim is simple. The market is changing and we understand the
need to acknowledge, address and action a tangible approach to
decarbonisation. We want to provide architects, contractors and
specifiers the choice of using an ultra-low carbon cement-free
alternative to precast cementitious products. Today's announcement
is the next step on Sigmaroc's journey of investing, improving,
integrating & innovating, to deliver maximum value to customers
and shareholders, and ultimately providing a greener way to build.
Not just for infrastructure, but our own future."
