Only companies that <br />possess the ability to adapt to these <br />changes will be able to secure their <br />future in this ever changing market. We <br />had positioned ourselves to do just that. <br />Today we reflect back on our past and <br />see a company with a long standing <br />tradition and the unique corporate <br />development that has brought us here, <br />and we realize that just like yesterday, <br />we are a competent <br />Partner in a high performance <br />construction industry</p> <p>quality and environmental <br />awareness. The way we <br />interact is dominated by an <br />awareness of quality and the <br />environment, which is firmly <br />embedded in the culture of the <br />family business.</p> <p>Product systems designed to provide <br />reliable and high performance results is <br />the central focus of our daily thoughts. <br />This has been our company philosophy <br />for the past three generations. This is <br />seen daily through our success! Success <br />only occurs when a company truly lives <br />its culture and philosophy – we place a <br />high value on this. As a result it is not just <br />the personal involvement of the <br />Schomburg family members, but also the <br />exemplary dedication of the employees, <br />who identify themselves with the <br />SCHOMBURG Group. We are very <br />proud of this!</p> <p>1961 <br />The 2nd generation: <br />Albert Carl Schomburg joins the <br />company.</p> <p>1975 <br />Founding of the subsidiary BECOBouwchemie b.v. in Hoogeveen, <br />Netherlands (now SCHOMBURG <br />B.V.).</p> <p>1964 <br />Founding of the 1st subsidiary <br />ROBOTEC-SCHOMBURG AG <br />as a production and sales <br />department for Switzerland.</p> <p>1991 <br />Founding of the sales and <br />production company in Kutno, <br />Poland.</p> <p>1994 <br />Construction of the second plant in <br />Halle/Saale, Germany. <br />2000 <br />Founding of the sales and production <br />company AQUAFIN, Inc. in the USA. <br />2004 <br />Centralisation of export activities <br />as AQUAFIN International Holding <br />GmbH. <br />2007 <br />Founding of the distribution and <br />production company <br />MYK SCHOMBURG in India.</p> <p>2009 <br />Founding of the joint venture <br />BENFER SCHOMBURG S.R.L. in <br />Bazzano, Italy. <br />Integration of the distribution <br />activities of RETHMEIER and <br />INDUTEC as <br />SCHOMBURG ICS GmbH.</p> <p>2010 <br />Commissioning of the second <br />production site in India. <br />2011 <br />Acquisition of the new <br />BENFER SCHOMBURG s.r.l. <br />joint venture in Castelnuovo <br />Rangone, Italy. <br />.</p> <p>COMPETENT</p> <p>The SCHOMBURG Group <br />develops, produces and <br />markets high quality <br />building product systems <br />for: <br />• Construction waterproofing/ <br />construction restoration <br />• Tiles/natural stone installation <br />• Screed installation and floor coatings <br />• Urban, green and open space <br />construction and other construction <br />products <br />• Road and track construction <br />• Industrial flooring <br />• Concrete restoration <br />• Special coatings <br />• Concrete restoration <br />• RETHMEIER - concrete technology</p> <p>Quality, Assurance, Expertise, <br />Guaranty… Promises and values that <br />the SCHOMBURG Group along with <br />the Schomburg family and its employees <br />stand behind.

Preventing water ingress is the <br />pre-requisite for any successful repair <br />and maintenance program.</p> <p>For more than 60 years the core <br />competence of the SCHOMBURG <br />Group has been in the development <br />and production of effective and <br />economical product systems for <br />waterproofing and restoration of <br />buildings and structures.</p> <p>Brands such as the cementitious <br />AQUAFIN® and bituminous <br />COMBIFLEX® systems have been leaders <br />in the European market for many years. <br />Making the sealing of interior and <br />exterior foundations simple, yet effective!</p> <p>AQUAFIN</p> <p>®</p> <p>Together with products from the <br />AQUAFIN® and THERMOPAL® product <br />family, further systems from <br />SCHOMBURG guarantee first class <br />results in the renovation of interior and <br />exterior walls exposed to moisture and <br />loaded with salts. These products show <br />their special advantages in the restoration <br />of historic buildings. Houses can be <br />restored in a natural and sustainably <br />energy efficient way with the <br />THERMOLUT® system. Please obtain <br />information about their application <br />possibilities.</p> <p>COMBIFLEX®</p> <p>GEPOTECH® THERMOLUT® <br />THERMOPAL®</p> <p>Restoration of buildings</p> <p>Repair of damp and salt-contaminated <br />interior and exterior walls, particularly in <br />historical buildings is our specialty. <br />This is not always an easy task as many <br />times historical buildings are protected <br />treasures and traditional restoration work <br />cannot be done. Facades must be <br />repaired with minimally invasive products, <br />and the end appearance has to be that of <br />the original construction. In situations like <br />this it is essential to work with a company <br />that provides proven solutions for interior <br />applications. <br />Together with AQUAFIN®-IB2 we offer <br />two different lines of restoration plasters: <br />THERMOPAL®, a cementitious based <br />system, is excellent for both interior and <br />exterior walls damaged by moisture and <br />salt efflorescence. Walls treated with <br />THERMOPAL® are left looking like new <br />and can even be painted or over coated. <br />The THERMOLUT® system is another <br />option, which is made from 100% <br />natural products based on loam. <br />This system is applied to interior walls,</p> <p>perfect in cases of historical buildings, <br />to provide insulation. Additionally the <br />environmentally friendly system also <br />provides benefits such as energy cost <br />savings and improved indoor air quality.</p> <p>Tile/natural stone installation <br />Over the centuries diverse cultures have <br />used different types of ceramic and natural <br />stone tiles to decorate the surfaces of their <br />buildings. Therefore every type of tile has <br />its own requirements in terms of longevity <br />and use. <br />SCHOMBURG offers a wide range for the <br />installation of tiles and natural stone in the <br />most varied of applications. In addition to <br />primers, smoothing compounds, bedding <br />mortars and grouts, there are system <br />solutions for those critical applications in <br />which the awareness and knowledge of <br />the last decade is corroborated. <br />AQUAFIN® and UNIFIX® for balconies, <br />terraces and swimming pools etc. <br />ASOFLEX®, the only highly elastic, high <br />strength bonded waterproof membrane for <br />tiling which can be non-destructively <br />tested. <br />All products are tested to international <br />standards.</p> <p>Screed installation <br />Floor coatings</p> <p>Areas used for commercial purposes are <br />subject daily to mechanical stress and to <br />some extent, chemical exposure. Screeds <br />and floor coatings from SCHOMBURG <br />have been developed exactly to meet <br />these requirements. <br />Rapid setting screed cements with above <br />average high strength development for <br />rapid operational start-up and floor <br />coatings for a long service life are the <br />results of these efforts. <br />At the same time, decorative and <br />creative requirements are fulfilled with <br />modern floor coating systems. Coloured <br />surface coatings for shops and shopping <br />centres are also part of the range.</p> <p>Urban, green and open space <br />construction <br />Special construction products</p> <p>Exterior steps in concrete blocks, <br />driveways, private and public paths and <br />spaces. Everywhere bedding and <br />grouting mortars which can cope with <br />technical construction requirements as <br />well as ecological criteria are needed. <br />The hydrophobic drainage mortar binder <br />ASO®-EZ4 is only one of many systems <br />developed for these application areas. <br />Together with additives and tools, all <br />these products serve the goal to improve <br />construction performance with efficient <br />and safe design.</p> <p>ADVANCED</p> <p>Further business areas of the <br />SCHOMBURG group of companies <br />Within SCHOMBURG ICS (Intelligent Construction <br />Systems) various remits and sales areas were <br />bundled. The goal is to place SCHOMBURG as a <br />brand for national and international construction and <br />also for integrated intelligent construction systems. <br />In addition SCHOMBURG ICS advises civil <br />engineers and planners. Here products and systems <br />are used for: <br />• Industrial floor construction <br />• Car park construction <br />• Road and track construction <br />• Water container construction <br />• Concrete restoration <br />The product range from RETHMEIER concrete <br />technology provides worldwide producers of <br />concrete products, structural pre-cast sections <br />and ready-mix concrete with: <br />• Concrete additives <br />• Mould release agents <br />• Coloured slurries <br />• Surface protection systems <br />Intelligent additive concepts such as <br />BETOCRETE-C21 significantly contribute to the <br />sustainability and value conservation of <br />waterproof concrete.</p> <p>Road and track construction <br />The most varied systems are used today in road <br />and track construction for producing a functional <br />road surface. The SCHOMBURG group offers <br />systems for the most varied applications <br />concerning track construction. <br />For the installation of natural stone pavers, <br />SCHOMBURG offers specially developed <br />bedding and grouting mortars with compressive <br />and tensile adhesion strengths above <br />70 N/mm². This creates the secure, durable and <br />consequently efficient possibility of installing <br />natural stone pavers in areas where there are <br />heavy vehicular traffic loads. <br />In the operation of trams, which are powered <br />by direct current, there can be low levels of stray <br />current if conductive components without <br />insulation are connected with the ground. This <br />stray current corrosion can cause high costs in <br />the operation of trams and underground trains <br />and lead to safety problems, because the rails <br />often form the second terminal (which is not <br />earthed). In order to guard against this <br />electro-chemical reaction, the road and track <br />construction division of SCHOMBURG ICS <br />developed a new product as an extension of <br />their GEPOTECH coating system.</p> <p>Industrial floors <br />Industrial floors are subject to various <br />mechanical and chemical loads on <br />a daily basis. As a result coatings <br />must be designed to be suitable for <br />different types of environments such <br />as manufacturing and warehouse <br />buildings, in secondary containment, <br />laboratories, emergency rooms, <br />balconies and many other areas. <br />Through our INDUFLOOR® line of <br />products we are able to provide <br />solutions which fulfill the requirements <br />regarding compressive strength, impact <br />resistance, abrasion resistance and <br />chemical resistance against aggressive <br />media like acids, alkalis and solvents for <br />any specified application. Our systems <br />are all tested and certified according to <br />DIN and EN standards and can also <br />fulfill requirements for crack-bridging, <br />slip resistance, easy maintenance, <br />dissipation of electrical charges and fire <br />protection.</p> <p>Special coatings <br />With the GEPOTECH system, SCHOMBURG <br />offers a coating system for the most varied of <br />application areas. The use as protection for <br />hydraulic engineering works increases the <br />protection against chemical, biological exposure <br />and mechanical stress. The mineral based surface <br />protection system helps avoid high repair costs <br />and increases maintenance free times. <br />The German Concrete Association‘s data sheet <br />entitled “Concrete for containers in Biogas plants“ <br />already alludes to important aspects such as <br />assessment of chemical exposure as well as <br />gas-tightness of Biogas plants. Protection of the <br />concrete is already considered as a construction <br />measure. <br />Product systems from SCHOMBURG considerably <br />help the longevity of concrete containers.</p> <p>Concrete restoration <br />Concrete structures are liable to a natural <br />ageing process. Damage can massively <br />impair the structual integrity of concrete <br />structures. SCHOMBURG offers diverse <br />systems for reinstating traffic safety. Our <br />INDUCRET® restoration mortars and <br />concretes are offered in consideration <br />of diverse exposure classes. If damaged <br />concrete must be repaired, then these <br />measures can be carried out only by <br />professional companies in order to <br />preserve their value and to ensure long <br />service life prospects. <br />Based around DIN EN 1504-3 <br />SCHOMBURG ICS GmbH developed <br />special product systems for concrete <br />restoration, which are characterised by <br />their exceptional working properties and <br />high efficiency.</p> <p>RETHMEIER - Concrete technology <br />The remits and sales areas of <br />RETHMEIER lies within the scope of the <br />cement-using industry. <br />Worldwide producers of concrete <br />products, structural pre-cast sections and <br />ready-mix concrete are supplied with <br />• Concrete additives <br />• Mould release agents <br />• Coloured slurries <br />• Surface protection systems <br />Intelligent additive concepts such as <br />BETOCRETE C-17 and C-21 significantly <br />contribute to the sustainability and value <br />conservation of waterproof concrete.</p> <p>Worldwide market <br />presence. International <br />marketing strategy <br />The SCHOMBURG brand not <br />only excels through innovative <br />products but also through <br />internationality and intelligent <br />marketing strategies. <br />Based from the German <br />headquarters in Detmold in the <br />state of North Rhine Westfalia/ <br />Lippe district, the company’s international fortunes are centrally <br />coordinated. Simultaneously the <br />distribution, research and development, production and the logistics centre reside here.</p> <p>Location National <br />In the German market the <br />SCHOMBURG group is represented by <br />two companies: <br />SCHOMBURG GmbH <br />SCHOMBURG ICS GmbH <br />In addition to the head office in Detmold <br />and our other production location in <br />Halle/Saale, numerous other locations in <br />Germany ensure the necessary closeness <br />to the customer. <br />This is how we guarantee an almost <br />uninterupted and rapid processing of <br />orders. <br />The sales and marketing of <br />SCHOMBURG GmbH operates via <br />qualified technical distribution combined <br />with active cooperation with competent <br />external sales people, who give advice <br />on our product systems throughout all of <br />Germany.</p> <p>International locations</p> <p>Cooperation concept</p> <p>The global activities are driven by <br />AQUAFIN International GmbH.
