Here’s another small selection of the standout entries set to feature on the show floor:

 

Wotblock – Stand A50

Product name:
NOVUM Wall

NOVUM Wall from WotBlock is a machine-set modular retaining wall system developed through long-term research and field performance in earth retention applications. The system is engineered to support improved constructability and installation efficiency across residential, commercial and infrastructure projects.

Designed to combine large-block structural performance with compact installation, NOVUM Wall can be installed using mini-excavators or skid-steers, supporting use in restricted-access environments. The system accommodates gravity walls up to approximately 1.8 metres and reinforced walls up to 6.4 metres using friction or Positive Connection methods.

Manufactured from wet-cast, low-porosity concrete, NOVUM Wall is suited to long-term use, including in water-adjacent conditions. Textured faces inspired by quarried stone provide an architectural finish alongside structural performance.

 

LKAB Minerals – Stand C52

Product name:
Calcined Clay

Calcined Clay from LKAB Minerals Ltd is a supplementary cementitious material developed using reclaimed waste from the clay brick industry. Material that would otherwise be sent to landfill is processed through controlled reclamation, crushing and grinding to produce a pozzolanic material with the fineness and reactivity required for modern concrete applications.

The material is suited to infrastructure and civil engineering projects seeking lower-carbon concrete solutions. Its use can contribute to extended setting times, which may be beneficial for large pours in warmer conditions. Calcined Clay also supports improved durability in environments exposed to sulphates, chlorides and alkali-silica reaction risks.

Produced and supplied within the UK, Calcined Clay supports local sourcing and reduced transport-related emissions within the concrete supply chain.

 

 

Probst Handling Equipment – Stand D45

Product name:
M-JET-250 Vacuum Lifter

The M-JET-250 from Probst Handling Equipment is a compact, battery-powered vacuum lifter designed for the safe handling and installation of slabs weighing up to 250 kg. The unit is suitable for natural stone, concrete slabs, exposed aggregate units, tiles and other porous building materials.

Weighing approximately 16 kg, the M-JET-250 is powered by an 18 V / 10 Ah CAS battery, enabling cordless operation without reliance on external power sources. The system can be operated manually by two people using ergonomically adjustable handles, or used as an attachment on excavators, wheel loaders or other carrier equipment via an integrated suspension eye.

A wired remote control allows the vacuum to be released at the point of placement. The M-JET-250 is intended for site operations requiring flexible lifting, controlled placement and adaptable use across varying construction conditions.

 

 

fibo Intercon – Stand D20

Product name:
fibo Collect + fibo Loop

fibo Collect is a self-service batching system from fibo Intercon designed for the production of concrete, mortar and screed. The F-Model (4-bin) combines automated operation with high-capacity batching, using four 3.9 m³ aggregate hoppers and pan sizes ranging from 1,200 to 2,200 litres. The system supports outputs from 0.2 m³ up to 45 m³ per hour, with weighing accuracy of ±0.5%.

A key feature of fibo Collect is its automated self-cleaning mixer, which uses high-pressure jet nozzles to remove residual material and direct washout into a three-stage separation process. This system separates aggregates, fines and water, allowing recovered water to be reused in subsequent production.

Building on this approach, fibo Loop introduces a closed, circular washout system in which recycled water is reused both in batching and in the automated cleaning cycle. Together, fibo Collect and fibo Loop are intended to support reduced water consumption, cleaner operation and more efficient self-service concrete production.

 

 

Kyocera Fastening Solutions – Stand B4

Product name:
TJEP HC-18B Hydra Cutter

The TJEP HC-18B Hydra Cutter from Kyocera is a state-of-the-art, battery-powered hydraulic cutter designed for use with reinforced steel and reinforced mesh. It is equipped with a scissor-shaped cutting head that supports clean, controlled cuts on both horizontal and vertical elements.

The cutter is capable of processing workpieces with a thickness of up to 18 mm and operates without creating sparks, contributing to a cleaner and safer working environment. Battery-powered mobility allows the tool to be used flexibly across site conditions, without reliance on external power sources.

The TJEP HC-18B Hydra Cutter is intended for reinforcement cutting tasks where precision, safety and on-site convenience are key operational considerations.

 

All qualifying entries will be displayed in the Hub throughout both show days, giving visitors a clear, easy-to-find overview of what’s new across materials, equipment, and site solutions from the past 18 months. Visitors will also be able to cast their vote for the New Product Award 2026.
