Solar stocks surge after Treasury tightens clean energy tax credit rules
PARIS - French building materials giant Saint-Gobain announced Wednesday the acquisition of Maturix, a Danish provider of real-time concrete monitoring solutions, as part of its strategy to expand its digital construction chemicals platform.
Maturix offers wireless sensor technology that monitors concrete properties during curing and hardening processes. According to the company’s press release, the technology can reduce concrete construction cycles by up to 50% while improving quality and structural performance. The two companies have been collaborating since 2019.
The acquisition complements Saint-Gobain’s existing Verifi digital concrete management system, which is currently deployed across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The companies are already developing a joint offering.
"By combining the data and digital expertise of Maturix and Verifi with Saint-Gobain’s leadership in concrete admixtures, we will unlock new use cases for the Group’s customers," said Sid Singh, CEO of Verifi, in the statement.
The acquisition aligns with Saint-Gobain’s focus on integrated digital solutions for construction. The company, which will celebrate its 360th anniversary in 2025, reported sales of €46.6 billion in 2024 and employs more than 161,000 people across 80 countries.
Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed in the press release.
Saint-Gobain has committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and positions itself as a leader in light and sustainable construction, manufacturing materials and services for construction and industrial markets.
