Overview
Bitumen is the binder that holds asphalt together. The right grade depends on climate and traffic: harder grades for hot climates and heavy loads, softer grades for colder regions.
BRONCI supplies bitumen to road contractors, asphalt producers and infrastructure projects, in the packing that suits each destination.
