MAIN FEATURE: Fast, faster, MC-Fastkick – Boosting concrete compatibility
The main feature in this issue focuses on our MC-FastKick hardening accelerators offering real benefits to the precast industry, in winter construction work, and also in ready-mix concrete production. The decarbonisation of the production process and the drastic rise in raw material and energy costs are putting concrete manufacturers under increasing pressure. With MC-FastKick hardening accelerators, these businesses can not only cut costs but also save time in production – while simultaneously making a contribution to climate protection.
BIG PICTURE: Grand gala for 80 long-serving employees
Our current BIG PICTURE shows around 80 jubilarians who celebrated their 10-, 25- and 40-year milestones at MC in the period from 2020 to 2022. The management of MC-Bauchemie invited the jubilarians to a gala celebration in the GOP Varieté Theatre in Essen. You can find the complete press release here.
INNOVATION & INSPIRATION by MC
In our INNOVATON section we inform you about some new products: From the new Type 1 potable water mortar MC-RIM PW 111 to the new environmentally friendly release agent Ortolan Extra 795 as well as the climate render Elegant MRP.
In our INSPIRATION, we show which worlds of wonder you can create with MC-RockMortar. With the modelling mortar from MC-Bauchemie, you can create amazingly beautiful backdrops and landscapes with boulders, walls, trees, exotic buildings, temples and sculptures that look deceptively real.
BEST PRACTICE: Projects, projects, projects
In the BEST PRACTICE section we again offer a large selection of interesting projects where our product systems contributed to the success of the construction projects. From the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2, to the Toyota car showroom in Vietnam and the Mandarin Oriental Project in Tel Aviv. Furthermore, MC products were also in demand in the refurbishing of the floor in a high-bay warehouse in Switzerland and in upgrading for Europe’s largest liquefied gas tanks.
SUSTAINABILITY
MC has once again participated in the EMAS eco-audit conducted by an EMAS-licensed environmental verifi er as per the relevant European standard, and has been additionally certifi ed according to ISO 14001. In addition we show the EFC concrete (Earth Friendly Concrete), which was developed by the WAGNERS company in Australia and MC-Bauchemie.
As usual, we round off our recent issue with internal topics and personalia.
