PENETRON and W.R Grace announced this week the launch of a strategic partnership to market, sell, and distribute PENETRON crystalline ready-mix concrete solutions to the construction industry in North America. This new partnership expands the distribution of PENETRON products and fills a key product category for Grace.
The Grace Construction Products division ofW.R. Grace & Companyis a global leader in the construction products industry, with a wide range of specialty construction chemicals and materials – and now crystalline solutions from PENETRON.
When Grace recognized the growing market need for an effective crystalline concrete admix solution, they also recognized PENETRON as a company with a strong product offering, a loyal customer base, and a reputation for innovation and market leadership. There is a natural fit between the companies; the combination of Penetron’s market leadership in the crystalline technology field and Grace Construction Products’ extensive network and reach offer a position to bring effective crystalline solutions to a far greater market.
“Partnering with Grace enables PENETRON to bring our innovative solutions to a wider customer base and better meet their specific construction challenges,” said Robert Revera, President and CEO of The PENETRON Group. “This allows us to grow our leadership position in the crystalline technology arena and add value to the Grace line, while maintaining the high level of support our customers have come to expect from us.”
The portfolio of products and services marketed under the PENETRON brand includes crystalline solutions for maintenance, repair, and renovation of buildings and infrastructure, as well as new concrete construction. Penetron’s crystalline technology offers increased concrete durability through effective permeability reduction. This reflects improved concrete performance in key areas of concern and overall increased lifespan.
“PENETRON does not simply provide world-class products to the market. We work with our clients to develop solutions that meet specific project demands, based on our know-how and experience in concrete technology,” said Revera. “These benefits are now amplified with our new partnership with W.R.
