Europe: Italy-based Cementir has launched Aalborg InBind, a premixed white binder for ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) applications. The supplier said that Aalborg InBind optimizes UHPC producers' costs by leveraging locally available materials.

Group chief sales, marketing and commercial development officer Michele Di Marino said “The specific needs of local projects have led precast concrete producers to look for their own UHPC by using local aggregates and chemical admixtures." He added "InBind is set to meet the market needs by providing a flexible and user-friendly binder solution.”
