A Bradford-based concrete admixture manufacturer has doubled its customer trials.

Oscrete has achieved this following investment in its expanded and upgraded laboratory.

The new 100m² lab is a full concrete testing facility, in use up to six days a week.

It includes two mixing bays, a separate area for wet production, a clean area for new product development, and space for onsite customer training.

Oscrete’s technical and development manager, Dean Clarke, said: “In addition to evaluating our admixtures, the lab also plays a key role in evaluating cements and additives that help reduce the carbon footprint.

“The facility is central to our ongoing research and development efforts, driving innovation in new admixtures products.”

He added: “Since the lab completed at the start of 2025, we have already doubled the number of trials completed in the same period last year and we now have capacity to double this again as we continue to meet customer demand for bespoke and specialist projects.”

Director Scott Wilson said: “We are delighted we now have an expanded lab facility which helps us to build on these strengths and ensure even more of our customers can benefit from our expertise – quickly and effectively.”
