Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

The innbau company has been active in the concrete industry in the southeastern region of Bavaria in Germany since the beginning of the 1970s. Although exclusively ready-mix concrete was produced at first, the decision was very quickly taken to produce and market precast slabs with in-situ topping as well. The precast slab with in-situ topping, which has a market share of well over 70% in Germany, is still one of innbau’s most important products today. Further acquisitions as well as the building of a special new plant for precast slabs with in-situ topping in 1996 at the Mettenheim site have made innbau one of the largest manufacturers in South Germany with production of around 450,000 m2 of precast slabs with in-situ topping. In 1998 innbau seized the opportunity to take over an insolvent company. With only a little conversion and modernisation work, this allowed the production of double walls as well from that point on. However, with around 50,000 m2 of double wall elements in recent years, the production capacity of the plant was continuously at full stretch, and so the decision was taken in 2010 to begin with the planning of a new plant that would reflect the state of the art and enable innbau in future to produce precast concrete elements with maximum productivity and quality and with sufficient reserves of production capacity.
