Sandnes is a town in the Rogaland region of southern Norway. It is home to the concrete works of Multiblokk AS, one of the most aspiring producers of concrete goods in Norway. In order to be able to serve the market more flexibly at all times, the decision was taken to add a second production line. The management finally found partners for this project in Hess Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG from Germany for the concrete block making machine and the Danish company Skako A/S as the supplier of the mixing equipment, and the planning and implementation of the project began in February 2008.
