Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

The precast industry in Germany has enjoyed a generally good development and economic situation over the past two years, especially in residential construction. However, this quite stable situation must not be allowed to hide the fact that success on the very demanding and, in terms of prices, highly competitive market in Germany will only be possible for those companies who lead in their market segments and can accordingly hold their own. A key element along this road is production that is competitive in terms of both personnel and technology and is capable of meeting the challenges of the market. Against this background numerous modernisations of precast plants for the establishment of competitive advantages can currently be observed in Germany. These projects, which are frequently technically very demanding and time-critical, demand a very good interaction between the machine supplier and the client. The bandwidth of the moder-nisation objectives thereby extends from the replacement of aging components and spatial reconstruction to reinvestment in new robot technology or the renovation of formwork pallets.
