French multinational Saint-Gobain has acquired Denmark-based real-time concrete monitoring solutions provider Maturix, marking a significant step in the expansion of its digital construction chemicals platform.

Maturix's wireless sensor technology facilitates remote monitoring of concrete properties during the curing and hardening process, which can halve the duration of the concrete construction cycle and enhance job-site efficiency.

The integration of the Danish company into Saint-Gobain's portfolio strengthens the company's digital offerings across the concrete and cement value chains.

Saint-Gobain customers can now benefit from reduced overdesign and optimised operations, contributing to the digital transformation of the concrete industry.

This move follows Saint-Gobain's initiatives such as the deployment of Verifi, its digital in-transit concrete management suite, across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

Verifi's real-time monitoring capabilities are designed to minimise waste, boost operational performance, and drive cost efficiencies.

The addition of Maturix's technology is expected to complement Verifi's system, particularly in optimising concrete placement on construction sites.

Since 2019, Maturix and Saint-Gobain have collaborated successfully, and they are currently developing a joint product offering.

Earlier this year, Saint-Gobain completed the acquisition of FOSROC, a construction chemicals company, which further solidified Saint-Gobain's position in the global market, enhancing its capabilities in the construction chemicals sector.
