The Swiss CPC AG (manufacturer of carbon fibres and developer of stable but thin concrete elements) and the building materials producer Holcim (Deutschland) GmbH and its subsidiary Vetra Betonverbindteilwerke GmbH signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement in December 2020. The parent company LafargeHolcim Ltd had previously acquired a stake in the Swiss start-up CPC AG.
The aim of the cooperation is to produce high-performance thin concrete slabs with a high-strength concrete for the German, Dutch and Scandinavian markets on a larger scale in Vetra s precast concrete plants from autumn 2021. The CPC concrete elements are reinforced exclusively with pre-stressed carbon fibres. Customers receive needs-based cuts of the elements, logistics services and support in the use of innovative connection technologies.
