The project involves ramping up production capacity and modernization of mineral wool insulation machinery from Gomelstroymaterialy JSC.

Cherkassy-located Zavod Techno whose market share of mineral thermal insulation accounts for 41% in Ukraine, became the property of Sweetondale, company from the Czech Republic.

According to Rosstat (Federal State Statistics Service), the volume of stone wool products, produced by Russia’s companies in the first quarter of 2018, amounted to 7.6 million cubic meters. This is 16.5% higher compared to the same period last year - 6.5 million cubic meters.

The whole range of ISOVER’s mineral wool insulation has been certified according to the new GOST 32314-2012 so it meets now the modern standards of quality.

The developers assert that a new line of basalt heat insulation includes automotive and racing industry products, which do not fade exposed to the heat.

Politerm LLP commissioned the manufacture of high-quality basalt thermal insulation in the Akmola region of Kazakhstan.

Techno plant in Yurga (Russia, Kemerovo region) increased stone wool thermal insulation output by 15% in 2017 due to the modernization process.

Stone wool thermal insulation will be produced in the east of Sweden, so ROCKWOOL has acquired 180,000 square metres of land there to construct a manufacturing facility.

Stone wool thermal insulating material was used when constructing Nur-Alem, a 100-meter-high and 80 meters in diameter spherical building, erected in the capital of Kazakhstan, Astana.

Thermal insulation of building envelope is very important in energy saving: a growing interest is focused on using insulating recycled and sustainable materials.
