Research and Innovation 

       

Axim created a Research and Innovation department in order to offer its clients increasingly innovative and environmentally friendly products. It is made up of a team of Engineers and Technicians, and a laboratory.
Its 3 main goals are:

  • Development of new admixtures and grinding aids
    After identifying the client's needs via technical intelligence and information drawn from the field, the Research Engineer is involved in the creation of specifications beginning with the launch of a new concept or project.
  • Product quality controls
    To affix CE, NF or BENOR logos, Axim must continuously ensure that the manufactured products respect the certification reference systems.
    In addition, each product must be inspected regularly by the laboratory that carries out testing on mortar and concrete and verifies that products are compliant with current standards.
  • Technical assistance
    The Research and Innovation department, in partnership with the Technical Assistance Engineers:
    - carries out laboratory testing that helps optimise concrete formulations or develop innovative new concrete.
    - provides qualified staff equipped with standardized equipment, able to travel to the client’s site to assist the Technical Sales Engineers.
    Within the framework of a partnership with Ciments Calcia, the Group’s mobile laboratories are also available for site visits to analyze, formulate and test concrete compositions under real site conditions.
