The city of Eindhoven forms the heart of the Brainport region, a global hotspot for technology and design. Together with Amsterdam (Airport) and Rotterdam (Seaport), Eindhoven’s Brainport is an essential pillar of the Dutch economy. In recent decades, Eindhoven has evolved from a company town to a modern urban ecosystem that breathes creativity and innovation. Eindhoven houses over 1,000 startups within its city limits, as well as giants like Philips and ASML. High-tech companies, designers, knowledge workers and students from all over the world are attracted to this region’s capacity for transforming ideas into reality.

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU / e) is a research university specializing in engineering science & technology. TU/e is internationally oriented and at the same time strongly rooted in the high-tech ecosystem of the Brainport Eindhoven region. Since 2015 the Faculty of Architecture houses Europe's largest concrete printer. The concrete printing research group, led by Professor Theo Salet, explores and develops the possibilities of printed concrete, in close collaboration with companies and other knowledge institutes.

Weber Beamix is always looking ahead. In 2005 we already printed a stable wall of concrete mortar with a hand operated 3D printer, taking only 1 work shift. A world’s first. It took another 10 years before the time and market was ready for this innovative technology. Since 1965 Weber Beamix has built a reputation as leading producer & supplier of dry mortarproducts and solutions for residential & non-residential construction, the industry and civil construction. In addition to the well-known yellow-green bulk silos on the construction sites, our products can be found in packaged form in the building materials wholesale and in “Do-it-yourself”-stores. In 2008 Weber Beamix became part of Saint-Gobain, the largest and oldest producer and distributor of building materials in the world.
