NEMO, launched January 1, 2017, is a project of ZAPA beton intended for our customers and the professional public in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The name is an acronym for New Evolved Materials for innOvation. Why that? As a dynamic and innovative company, ZAPA beton leverages the long-term experience of its multinational parent companies Buzzi Unicem and Dyckerhoff to develop and introduce new special products. Some of them are already available to our customers.
We know that our customers, investors, architects, and engineers want to be aware of the latest trends in construction materials and are interested in advice regarding the selection of a suitable product that will fulfill their expectations, maximize value added, and optimize the time and effort needed to complete their projects.
This is why we launched NEMO, which is managed by our experienced and well-trained quality, sales, and marketing personnel. We have selected one sales representative for special products and one technologist to assist with technological solutions to manage NEMO in each of our sales regions, Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia.
If the word NEMO rings a bell, that’s because the project (and its logo) are inspired by Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, in which the Nautilus, a high-tech (from a 19th-century point of view) submarine designed and captained by a man calling himself Nemo, demonstrates technological vision decades ahead of its time, cruising the depths of the world’s oceans, engaging in undersea research, and defying attempts of surface ships to capture it.
Project NEMO’s highlights in the waters of the Czech and Slovak markets include participation at some of the largest building industry trade fairs, seminars for industry professionals, and concrete mixing plant open days. These are just some of the ways we demonstrate our strength in innovation.
