Sakrete Introduces Innovative New Technology and Product Line for Contractors at World of Concrete
Leader in Concrete Products to Introduce New Professional Grade Pro-Mix Line and Augmented-Reality Application

ATLANTA, Jan. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Sakrete®, a leader in concrete, concrete-related products and technical support, is introducing its new product line, Pro-Mix™, at World of Concrete in Las Vegas. Sakrete's Pro-Mix line, which consists of products ranging from All-Purpose Cement to Concrete Repair, is made up of professional grade, high-strength, and fast-setting products that have been formulated for exceptional workability.

Sakrete is also introducing its new augmented-reality based application that allows contractors to calculate the number of bags needed for projects by taking a photo of the space on a tablet or smartphone device. Sakrete invites industry professionals and attendees to visit the booth while at World of Concrete between January 22-25, for project and app demonstrations, showcasing how its new application, product line and core concrete mixes, repair and maintenance products work on a job site.

"Sakrete is constantly looking to add new offerings in order to make the lives of our contractors easier," says Cory Olson, Senior Vice President of Sakrete North America. "We look forward to introducing contractors to our new Pro-Mix™ line, which was formulated specifically for better workability and forgivability than other products on the market, as well as our Sakrete App, which features augmented reality. Both of these new offerings are our way of showing contractors that we are more than just their supplier, we are their partner."
