Sustainability in all we do

Mr Leo Sandqvist Using precast frees building site workers from the chore of grinding the concrete mixers and pumps; they can use their skills for more constructive work. Elematic is committed to developing new products and working methods within the precast concrete construction industry in accordance with environmental and social responsibility principles. We believe that sharing knowledge on environmental issues will be a competitive advantage in the future.

Novel technique for graphics on concrete

The setting of artwork and patterns on concrete surfaces has traditionally been a time-consuming and demanding job that has exposed workers to high amounts of dissolvent and dust.

The first slabs have been ceremonially cast at the brand new factory of Milbank Floors Ltd in Brandon, UK. Factory staff are whistling while they work - the new extruder is so silent you can hold a conversation standing right next to it, and the entire plant has been designed to comply with the strictest of environmental and safety regulations. Elematic was in on the project right from the designing phase and has delivered the plant, recycling system and all.
