Setmix, an Ecuadorian company with over 45 years of experience, has established itself in the international concrete industry. Its focus on concrete durability and its ability to offer high-quality technical solutions have established it as a leader in the protection of critical structures. Guillermo Loayza, Director of the AMPP Board of Directors, owner of Setmix, and president of the ACI chapter in Ecuador, has been a key figure in this process of growth and recognition.
Setmix’s Track Record: Over 45 Years of Experience
The story of Setmix began more than four decades ago, when Guillermo Loayza, the company’s current director, took the reins of this family business. Since its inception, the company has specialized in offering comprehensive solutions for concrete, both fresh and hardened. This experience, combined with a rigorous technical approach, has been key to consolidating the company as one of the most reliable companies in the construction sector.
Over the years, the company has worked on a wide variety of large-scale projects, particularly highlighting the protection and restoration of drinking water, waste, and fuel storage tanks. This specialization has been instrumental in solving critical infrastructure problems in cities in Ecuador and Peru, two countries that have witnessed Setmix’s progress.
International recognition: An achievement for the Latin American industry
The international recognition the company received in 2022, winning the Codings Pro Concrete Contractors Award, is a testament to its technical excellence. This award was given for its project to restore and recoat potable water storage tanks in several cities in Ecuador and Peru. For Guillermo, the award is not only recognition for the company, but also a call to other Latin American organizations to participate in these types of events and showcase their work internationally.
Contribution to the durability of concrete
The company continues to adapt to the changing demands of the sector, with a special focus on the durability of concrete. In a world where infrastructure must withstand the test of time, protecting materials like concrete is essential to ensuring the sustainability of cities and the safety of their inhabitants.
In addition to its success in the local market, the company is increasingly present at international events such as the AMPP conference, where knowledge and best practices on material durability and protection are shared. These events are an excellent opportunity for Latin American companies to connect with experts and strengthen their presence in the global industry.
A model of innovation and commitment
The example of Setmix is a clear testament to how a commitment to quality can lead a company to international recognition. The durability of concrete, a key aspect in the construction and restoration of infrastructure, continues to be the core of its strategy. With its track record and technical capacity, the company demonstrates that Latin America has the potential to be a global leader in sustainable and long-lasting construction solutions.
