Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

The SAW Group has been producing concrete elements for a great variety of applications since 1958 at its site in Widnau, Switzerland. A little later in 1963, the company diversified into a second area of activity by offering sand, gravel and readymix concrete for the surrounding region. Back at the company’s beginning, its founder, Adolf Schmitter, hauled cement and construction materials to building sites with his bicycle and trailer. Today, this task is accomplished by a modern fleet with about 15 vehicles. Up to 100 m³/h of very varying concretes are manufactured according to customer specifications in the concrete mixing plant at the production facility. The concrete is either processed on site to precast elements or travels as readymix concrete to construction sites in the surrounding area. Alongside traditional types of concrete according to SN EN 206, special mixes, such as coloured concretes, fire-resistant concretes, heavy and lightweight concretes etc., are manufactured in dependable quality.
