  14. An interesting fact… “The introduction of dry-mix mortar technology and the use of silo transport and machine application of mortars made it possible that from 1960 to 1995 the volume of render and plaster mortar application in Germany increased by 600%, while the number of employees in this sector decreased by 25%, that means productivity increased by 800%.” Sourced: Master & Builders, 1st Quarter 2006, Page 74
