Kari Yuers Reinforces the Need for Performance-Driven, Durable Construction Materials

Amrize’s new “Made in America” label—certifying that its cement products are fully produced in the United States—signals a broader shift in the industry toward local procurement, transparency, and reliable domestic supply. As U.S. manufacturing capacity expands, material producers are adapting to meet rising expectations around traceability, quality assurance, long-term performance, and reduced embodied carbon.

For Kryton, this trend aligns closely with what Kari Yuers, President and CEO at Kryton International Inc., has consistently advocated for throughout her leadership in the industry. Kryton has long championed the importance of materials that deliver proven performance, durability, lower embodied carbon, and risk reduction—backed by verifiable results rather than marketing claims.

In the ENR article, Kari reinforces this point, stating:
“Sustainability is not just about reducing carbon footprints. It’s also about making materials that do the job and last. Durability is a key factor in sustainability.”

This perspective reflects a growing mindset among owners, contractors, and specifiers: the demand for materials that can be trusted over time, supported by testing, traceability, and strong technical backing.

As the industry continues emphasizing accountability, lifecycle performance, and material reliability, Kryton remains committed to supporting this shift. Through high-performance waterproofing and durability solutions—supported by decades of testing, field results, and robust regional support networks—Kryton continues to help builders meet rising expectations for long-term, measurable performance.
