Smart Materials for Great Wines

From energy-efficient architecture to ideal ageing conditions, building materials like Ytong and Hebel autoclaved aerated concrete provide excellent properties for wineries and wine cellars alike.

When the earth shakes... the house stands strong

In October 2024, the earth did shake in Paris. Fortunately, however, it was not a real earthquake, but a successful test of the earthquake resistance of autoclaved aerated concrete products, which was supervised by Xella colleagues.

Producing large-size AAC panels in our Ostrołęka plant in Poland

A new form of large-size Ytong panels is produced in Ostrołęka, Poland. The investment of Xella Group in a new installation was realized together with Aircrete Europe. How it's been done:

Withstands to 1,000 degrees of heat

Preventing fire protection saves lives. Mineral building materials such as Ytong, Hebel and Multipor are inherently non-combustible. They meet fire safety requirements without the need for additional measures. This not only benefits the building owner.

Meet today... Hubert Fandree

Hubert Fandree is a Key Account Manager at Xella Germany, and a "Ytong man through and through." Reason enough to ask him about his personal story with his favorite building material in the anniversary year "100 years of autoclaved aerated concrete."

Why the future belongs to autoclaved aerated concrete

In 2023, AAC celebrates its 100th birthday as efficient building solution addressing the challenges and needs of the international construction industry to be more sustainable than ever.

Sustainable building and circularity: pilot project in Southern Germany

An important pillar of Xella's sustainability strategy is circularity. The company has set itself the goal of eliminating all leftovers from autoclaved aerated concrete production from landfills by 2025. A pilot project near Munich in Germany is demonstrating how discarded Xella products can be recy

100 years of autoclaved aerated concrete: How an idea revolutionized construction

The architect had the brilliant idea in 1923, and the businessman knew how to market it effectively. Thus, two Swedes made well-insulated living space affordable 100 years ago with the new building material autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC).

Crisis-proof building solutions made of autoclaved aerated concrete

In times of rising energy, material and production costs, construction managers are looking more than ever for building solutions that are efficient, sustainable, and affordable. Solutions made of autoclaved aerated concrete are thereby obvious in this context, especially for reasons of sustainabili
