PRECAST CONCRETE ELEMENTSwww.cpi-worldwide.com CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 6 | 2025 165Industry and research hand in handThe FlexCore project impressively demonstrates how successful co-operation between science and industry works. The Steinbeis Innovation Centre FiberCrete contributed its expertise in the areas of building material development, robotics and manufacturing technologies. Wasa Compound GmbH, an international specialist in high-quality plastics and elastomers, developed and tested the flexible PU core elements that made the decisive breakthrough possible. Together, they succeeded in establishing a process that masters the balancing act between technical precision, design freedom and ecological responsibility.FlexCore is now a key technology that has the potential to fundamentally change the production of complex precast concrete elements. This means that the technology can be a real breakthrough for precast plants, architects and building owners who value innovation, sustainability and cost-effectiveness.With FlexCore, the Steinbeis Innovation Centre FiberCrete and Wasa Compound GmbH have shown how practical research and industrial implementation go hand in hand %u2013 and how this sets completely new standards in the precast concrete industry. nFURTHER INFORMATIONSteinbeis-Innovationszentrum FiberCreteOtto-Schmerbach-Str. 19, Halle 1209117 Chemnitz, Germanysu1612@stw.dewww.fibercrete.deWASA Compound GmbH & Co.
