With innovations to success – in keeping with this motto the Belgium-based company Ebema (Edel Beton en Material) has developed into one of the top suppliers of concrete goods for garden and landscape construction as well as for road construction. The company is considered to be one of the trendsetters in the industry and is known beyond the national borders for its quality products. Ebema produces at two locations in Belgium, in Zutendaal and in Rijkevorsel. The former is also the company's headquarters, with administration buildings and a 17-hectare production site. The adjacent Albert Canal is a great advantage especially for the delivery of raw materials, since these can be brought in large quantities by ship almost up to the storage bunkers. And large quantities are required, because Ebema produces in seven workshops with a total of 9 machines and in some cases in three shifts per day. In order to increase capacities for the production of high-quality concrete paving stones and slabs, Ebema has just invested a total of €18.5 million in a complete new concrete block production line. The investment encompasses a newly erected production workshop with office and production plants. Ebema chose a concrete block making machine of the type Multimat RH 2000-3 MVA from Hess. In addition to the concrete block making machine, Hess was also responsible for all the transport and handling systems on the wet and dry side and has installed an impressive concrete block production line at the Zutendaal site, making use of the very generous amount of space in the newly erected workshop. The plant was officially inaugurated at the beginning of October 2013 and this step was fittingly celebrated a few days later with an ‘Open Day’.
