UK: Oscrete has doubled its laboratory footprint after carrying out an expansion at its concrete laboratory. The upgrade consists of a new wet production area and New Product Development area. The additives producer said that it plans to use the increased space for on-site customer training. The company says that it is now on a ‘recruitment drive’ to develop its concrete technician team.

Technical and development manager Dean Clarke said “Expanding our lab is a key objective following our move into independence at the start of 2022, so we are delighted to now have more capacity, increased product innovation and the resulting need to develop our team. He continued “We are a company committed to delivering and problem solving for our customers, particularly during these exceptionally challenging times of supply chain disruption.”
