Powering cost improvement and sustainability initiatives for the building materials industry

Change is the new normal in the building materials industry as customers demand performance improvement, constructability, sustainability, and cost reductions. Building material manufacturers are meeting these demands with innovative new products, from nanomaterials that power carbon negative cement to the use of bioplastics derived from plant, animal, fungal, and bacterial sources.

But innovating building materials is hard. And companies are also under pressure to improve business agility and operational efficiency. That’s why leaders are turning to digital strategies and software that can accelerate development and make technical teams more agile and efficient.

Imagine how much faster your technical teams could be with an integrated laboratory information management system for innovation, product development, and quality control.

That’s exactly why we built Alchemy. The Alchemy Applied Science Platform gives your scientists and lab teams a single digital platform designed specifically for raw material suppliers and building material producers, as well as their end customers.

Our secret? We bring the data for all your materials, products and test results into one easy-to-use electronic lab notebook (ELN) + laboratory information management system (LIMS) for everyone involved in the development, testing and production of your products.
"With Alchemy we have a global view of how our tech service teams and product lines are performing in different regions around the world. This integrated lab-to-field performance visibility helps us develop and improve our applications month after month.”
- Loulou Rozek, Global Head of Technical Services, Borchers
