The growing adoption of its carbon-free solutions illustrates the market's confidence in Hoffmann Green's 0% clinker solutions and confirms the emergence of a new industry standard for building the future of construction.
Julien BLANCHARD and David HOFFMANN, Co-founders of Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies, say: "We would like to thank CNR for their trust. The strengthening of our partner network and the validation of our 0% clinker solutions by recognized market players demonstrate our position as a leader in decarbonized cement for manufacturers who want to reduce the environmental impact of their business without ever compromising the quality of their deliveries."
Sébastien Gaudin, President of CNR Construction, added:"This partnership with Hoffmann Green illustrates our desire to build differently, combining high quality standards with a reduced environmental footprint. We are convinced that 0% clinker cements represent a solution for the future, combining technical performance with ecological responsibility on our construction sites."
