Corporate Division Building Materials
The Corporate Division Building Materials consists of the business units Aggregates and Slate. They offer products for road construction as well as for roofing and facades.
AGGREGATES
Mobility has a base – Aggregates and asphalt
Under the umbrella of Basalt AG, the Aggregates business unit extracts high-quality hard stones from approximately 90 of its own quarries, refines, and markets them. A significant portion of these raw materials is used by 159 of its own plants to produce asphalt mix for road construction. The product portfolio also includes water construction stones, railway ballast, and chippings. Basalt AG operates in a closed loop – and recycles mineral residues, for example, in the reclamation of its quarries or for landfill sealing. The construction chemistry sector rounds off the offering.
The products of the Aggregates business unit create connections, ensuring a functioning infrastructure for people and the economy – they are the base of mobility.
SLATE
For the design of aesthetic living spaces.
With Rathscheck Schiefer, the Slate business unit extracts premium quality slate, manufactures and develops products, as well as special system solutions for modern architecture and monument preservation. The range includes a wide selection of slate stones for various types of roofing and facades. Innovative in-roof and on-roof photovoltaic elements are also part of the portfolio. Stone products for interior design and landscaping complete the offering.
One of the most durable building materials matures in the earth for around 450 million years before it is carefully extracted and processed using the latest production techniques. As a building material of the future, it aesthetically, sustainably, and harmoniously shapes living spaces in tune with nature.
