We've gone full-on Wonka making mortar channels in our custom HFS colors. Kits with all 51 colors in SPEC MIX Type N will be available for purchase shortly.

Last month, as part of a working group developing volumetric mixer specifications, we hosted Cemen Tech and representatives from IDOT, CDOT, ISTHA and various consulting firms here at HFS. To cap off the day, Cemen Tech showcased their state-of-the-art C Series volumetric mixer in our warehouse.
