F:43G

GCP Applied Technologies Inc., once a part of the sprawling industrial conglomerate W.R. Grace and Co., emerged as an independent entity in 2016, setting its sights on carving a niche in the construction products and specialty chemicals sectors. With its headquarters nestled in Cambridge, Massachusetts, GCP blends innovation with a storied legacy to enhance structures across the globe. The company's diverse portfolio spans concrete and cement additives, recognized for augmenting the durability and strength of infrastructure, as well as delivering advanced building materials designed to improve construction efficiency and sustainability. By investing heavily in research and development, GCP consistently brings to market solutions that address the evolving demands of construction, channeling engineering acumen into creating safer and more resilient buildings. The heart of GCP’s revenue model lies in its strategic business units: the Specialty Construction Chemicals (SCC) and Specialty Building Materials (SBM). Through SCC, GCP supplies essential chemical additives and fibrous materials that elevate the quality of concrete – a fundamental component in construction projects ranging from skyscrapers to highways. These chemical solutions not only optimize the performance of concrete but also reduce costs for its clients by extending the usable life and enhancing the workability of building materials. Meanwhile, the SBM unit focuses on products like waterproofing systems and fire protection solutions, which are critical in ensuring the long-term integrity of commercial and residential structures. By capturing a broad segment of the construction value chain, GCP Applied Technologies secures its foothold in a competitive market, delivering value to builders, engineers, and architects worldwide.
