Bradford’s Oscrete announces further growth with customer integration

Bradford-based concrete admixture manufacturer Oscrete has announced its successful integration of customers from Glassfibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) specialists, Cemcotec.

Glass Reinforced Concrete (GRC) is a key tool in building design due to its low weight and high strength qualities, making it ideal for architectural facades, panels and decorative construction.

The amalgamation of Cemcotec customers into Oscrete’s expanding operations, marks a significant milestone in Oscrete’s ongoing growth strategy and is announced just weeks after Oscrete acquired structural waterproofing specialists, PUDLO, further expanding its portfolio of expertise and services.

The move further strengthens Oscrete’s position as a leading provider of innovative concrete solutions in the construction industry and reinforces the company’s commitment to delivering exceptional service and technical expertise across the sector.

Oscrete Director Scott Wilson said: “We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Cemcotec’s customers into the Oscrete family in a move which not only strengthens our business but also enhances the level of service and technical support we can offer.”

Cemcotec founder and GRC specialist Graham T Gilbert continues to provide consultancy to GRC manufacturers while Cemcotec customers will now benefit from the wider Oscrete team’s expertise and services. Graham added: “Having spent more than 50 years in the sector, I wanted a company which could build on these milestones and achievements and provide my customers with additional benefits and expertise.

“Oscrete meets these requirements with their range of concrete additives, full warehousing and logistics network plus excellent laboratory facilities. Having worked with Oscrete for many years, I am delighted to be placing my customers in such safe hands and to announce the start of an exciting new chapter for our customers and for the GRC industry itself.”
