CONCRETE admixture manufacturer Oscrete is finishing 2023 with further growth and an increased shareholding in its Northern Ireland division, Adcrete.

Oscrete is one of the UK’s leading specialist construction chemical suppliers which manufactures and supplies a range of concrete admixtures for precast and ready-mix concrete and the ready-to-use mortar industries.

The Bradford-based business, based on Rutland Street, off Wakefield Road, has increased its client base by more than 12 per cent in 2023 and recently completed a deal to secure a 90 per cent shareholding of its official Northern Ireland-based distributor, Adcrete.

Oscrete’s 2024 strategic growth plan “involves both live and planned conversations around future acquisitions,” said director Scott Wilson, who added: “Our growth and turnover in Ireland has increased by 200 per cent in the last four years and this growth serves to support the wider business operation throughout the UK.

“The strengthened Oscrete business model and presence in Ireland will ensure the team has the infrastructure and the expertise to become the leading supplier of concrete admixtures and additives in the country.”

He added: “Our success in Ireland reflects our continued growth in the UK markets, shown through our increase in customers and the expertise of our team, which has seen seven new appointments since the start of 2022.”
