Chryso, a leading international Construction Chemicals player, has acquired the controlling shareholding off CST (Concrete Solutions Technology Lanka Ltd) – located in Seeduwa, Sri Lanka. This move is part of the international group’s strategy to expand to the emerging markets.
CST has been a licensed manufacturer and distributor of Chryso product’s since its inception in 2010. The company emerged quickly as one of the leading admixture players in actively promoting Chryso’s new generation admixtures to the local market, which is an appropriate platform to build further upon and to address the full Chryso offer in Sri Lanka.
CST Managing Director Ebrahim Seedat explains, “It is extremely exciting to have Chryso’s presence in the Sri Lankan market. For over 70 years, Chryso has been developing expertise and know-how in the design and formulation of admixtures – becoming a well-established and recognised global brand for quality, trust and innovation. The company operates in 70 countries worldwide and offers a wide range of chemical solutions for the building and construction industry.”
In an effort to offer the total solutions to the local industry, Chryso aims in helping building and civil engineering companies, cement manufacturers, ready-mix and precast manufacturers to achieve high quality cement and concrete products. The portfolio of products and services to be offered by Chryso will cover a range of solutions from cement additives, concrete admixtures and construction systems: waterproofing, concrete protection and repair products, grouts, tunneling and shotcreting and high-performance surface treatments, protective coatings and flooring products. Ebrahim further adds, “Over the last four years, we have been fortunate in supplying some of Chryso’s new generation admixtures Chryso Fluid Optima, Chryso Fluid Premia and Chryso Plast Omega series range to many prestigious and landmark projects around the island and the benefits are already well recognised. These products are truly unique and are especially designed to meet the local conditions that are both technically and commercially viable.”
With Chryso’s strong world-wide presence and experience, the Sri Lankan market will certainly benefit from the high level of expertise and technical know-how on construction materials and the innovative solutions that allow for the construction of the most prestigious jobsite references around the globe. From foundations to finishing – “We have the ‘solutions’ to build the future you imagine.”
