LATICRETE® SUPERCAP®, LLC, manufacturer of the revolutionary self-leveling SUPERCAP® System, officially unveiled to the marketplace its "Next Generation Pump Truck" at the Las Vegas World of Concrete 2012 exposition on January 24 - 27. This next generation pump truck takes finishing new concrete or capping existing slabs to the next level by mixing material at the ground level and delivering it as high as 50 stories, significantly increasing productivity.

According to John Sacco, LATICRETE SUPERCAP Director of New Business Development, "We had three specific reasons to tell the world about our new joint venture: One, we wanted to introduce LATICRETE SUPERCAP and the global resources we bring to market. Two, to let the show's attendees see firsthand 'The Next Generation Pump Truck’, and three, to educate the marketplace on what has proven to be a faster, safer and greener way to finish concrete slabs. We call it The Next Generation Slab.”

When asked how the LATICRETE SUPERCAP system benefits the building industry, Sacco responded "It starts right from the concrete placement, Division 3, and flows all the way through to Division 9. The Next Generation Slab allows more concrete to be placed on a daily basis. No hard trowel finishing is needed. The Pump Truck is able to blend all material right onsite at street level and then deliver it to exact locations where needed, even as high as 50 stories," continued Sacco. "No unmixed materials ever enter the building, and the output is INCREDIBLE, up to 30,000 pounds per hour! This translates into faster turnover of each floor plate and because of that, all respective construction trades can be back on the floor the very next day. Additionally, and most importantly, all Division 9 flooring tolerances are achieved. No change orders!”

Sacco, who was "cautiously optimistic" prior to the show, stated he was overwhelmed by the quality and geographic diversity of interested firms. "We had people from around the world that specifically came to see both our truck and system. We have proven benefits in North America, but I was pleasantly surprised at how the global markets embraced our technology. Clearly, it was a big kickoff to 2012!"

The LATICRETE SUPERCAP System is a time-saving, cost-effective method for finishing new concrete or capping existing slabs that meet or exceed finished flooring tolerances. The system is a LEED-qualified, low alkali, self-leveling, cement-based technology that is installed using a patented computer-controlled mobile blending unit. LATICRETE International, Inc. is a US-based, family-owned global manufacturer and leader of premium installation and finishing systems for the building industry.
