This week, we are delighted to welcome NV Bekaert SA as the newest member of the ever-growing LCRIG community.
NV Bekaert SA is a global leader in steel wire transformation and coating technologies. With headquarters in Belgium and a worldwide presence, Bekaert develops innovative solutions that enhance the safety, performance and sustainability of products and infrastructure across diverse industries, including construction, mobility, energy and industrial applications.
Tony Roe, Sales Manager – Road Reinforcement at NV Bekaert SA, said:
“Bekaert has a strong incentive to work closely with local authorities across the UK, which are responsible for managing and maintaining large sections of the local road network and are under increasing pressure to deliver longer-lasting infrastructure while operating within constrained budgets. By promoting its asphalt reinforcement solutions, Bekaert can help local authorities extend pavement life, reduce the frequency of road repairs, minimise traffic disruption caused by maintenance works, and lower whole-life costs of road ownership.
“Asphalt reinforcement systems can improve resistance to cracking and rutting, supporting local authorities’ objectives of improving road quality, enhancing public satisfaction, and making more effective use of public funds. In addition, longer-lasting roads contribute to sustainability goals by reducing the need for raw materials, transport movements, and carbon-intensive maintenance activities, aligning with the UK’s wider environmental and net-zero aspirations.
“By collaborating with local authorities through LCRIG, Bekaert can position itself as a trusted partner in delivering more resilient, cost-effective, and sustainable road infrastructure for communities across the UK.”
We are delighted to welcome Bekaert to the LCRIG community and look forward to collaborating with them as part of the LCRIG community.
