June 1999 saw the ceremonial commissioning of Baumit’s new ready-mixed mortar plant in Sirac (Croatia) and with it the start of a European campaign. Over the next few years, three more ready-mixed mortar plants will be commissioned in Bosnia, Slovenia, and Russia. The total investment volume was around 38 million euros, with all three sites manufacturing both cement-based and plaster-based ready-mix mortars. In 2013, a new customer centre was opened in Klagenfurt. Baumit had evolved from a regional supplier for the Alpine-Adriatic region into a major European brand.
