Concretum stands for the highest level of expertise in the management and execution of demanding infrastructure projects using specialty concretes. Founded in 2001 as a spin-off of ETH Zurich, Concretum develops and produces high-performance, practical rapid-hardening concrete solutions for use around the world.
Today, Concretum technologies are applied in infrastructure projects worldwide. Thanks to their clear technical advantages, Concretum® rapid-hardening concrete systems have become an international standard for the rehabilitation of major concrete traffic areas such as highways, bridges and airport pavements.
Concretum does more than supply products. We support our partners throughout all project phases – from concept development and laboratory and field trials to execution and handover. This holistic approach is a core element of our philosophy and forms the basis for reliable project outcomes, even under complex conditions.
Deep expertise in materials engineering, our own concrete laboratory in Oberglatt and decades of hands-on experience form the foundation of the award-winning success of our innovative concrete concepts. Reliability, quality and innovation are firmly embedded in our corporate culture and are lived every day on demanding construction projects.
Our Values
Trust & Team Spirit
You can rely on us. Reliable for our customers, fair within the team – and always solution-oriented.
We work as a team, take responsibility and focus on delivering solutions to your challenges.
Reliability, long-term impact and a clear commitment to quality guide our actions – from the first idea to final execution.
Clarity & Direction
Complex projects require clear decisions.
We provide orientation through experience, transparency and technical leadership – especially when time, precision and safety matter most.
Progress & Innovation
We develop innovative concrete solutions for your project – driven by long-term research and delivered rapidly when our customers need a reliable solution without delay.
Knowledge & Expertise
Our solutions are based on deep materials knowledge, research and long-standing practical experience.
We make this knowledge available as targeted solutions – supported by continuous learning, testing and further development.
Sustainability
We create sustainable solutions through intelligent, efficient and impact-driven construction processes.
Durable, because rehabilitated and renewed infrastructure surfaces achieve significantly longer service lives and require fewer interventions.
Efficient, because construction and closure times are drastically reduced, often allowing infrastructure to be reopened within hours. This lowers energy consumption, traffic disruptions and machine operating hours.
Resource-efficient, because our solutions enable targeted interventions instead of full replacement of structures. Over the entire life cycle, this significantly reduces raw materials, transport volumes and emissions.
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond our own projects. Concretum supports the international Fair Recycling climate protection project, which recycles old refrigerators in Brazil according to Swiss environmental standards. Particularly harmful F-gases are safely extracted and irreversibly destroyed before they can enter the atmosphere. At the same time, the project creates fair jobs and training opportunities for socially disadvantaged communities.
In this way, we combine innovative concrete solutions with genuine responsibility – for durable infrastructure and effective climate protection.
