It follows success in 2012, when the company was honoured with a Queen’s Award in Innovation, for the development and commercialisation of a unique Lockable Dowel, a system that has revolutionised post-tensioned concrete construction. The 2015 award was officially presented on 15th October by the Lord Lieutenant of Clwyd, at a special ceremony at Ancon’s production facilities in Deeside, North Wales. After a tour of the site, which is the UK’s largest wall tie manufacturing operation, the Lord Lieutenant addressed a group of 36 employees saying, “Ancon represents the very best of British innovation and technology, and this dynamic company, which has trebled its exports in the last ten years, has led the way in its field.

Typical applications include the construction of steel-lined concrete storage tanks for refrigerated liquefied gas (LNG/LPG). Independently tested with cryogenic-grade rebar at a cool -165°C to the requirements of EN 14620-3, the new Ancon CTT range of couplers is available to suit bars from 12mm to 32mm diameter. Featuring a tapered-thread to simplify bar alignment and engagement, and reduce the chances of cross threading, CTT Couplers are compact in design, so are ideal for use where space is tight, and can be installed quickly and easily, minimising construction time and costs.
