We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Aggregates", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release CET Safehouse wins best supplier award from CET Safehouse, which we summarised at the time by saying "Materials testing specialist CET Safehouse has won a Best Supplier Award from construction sector giant Aggregate Industries". A couple of weeks before, we featured the news release JCB grab toughest floor from Sika: "Recently complete extension to JCB Cab Systems manufacturing site has been installed with specialist industrial floor surface produced by Sika".
 
In December 2007, we covered the news from Brett Landscaping and Building Products - take a look at Brett returns to RHS Chelsea Flower Show which says: "Brett Landscaping and Building Products is returning to sponsor a show garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May 2008".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Zwick Testing Machines, Paving the way with Zwick new asphalt tester, as well as Toughest floor surface for exhibition hall from Sika, and SkidProof secures rights to anti-slip treatment from SkidProof.
