Materiaux Pitois, based in Le Mans, France, has recently acquired a new Messmann boring and milling machine. The drill element of this new innovation was designed in close cooperation with the Norwegian market leader in the precast industry, Loe Rorprodukter AS of Hokksund, Norway. Loe has in-depth expertise in the drilling of manholes. The result of the collaboration with Lars Loe is the ControCore uni- versal drill, of which Loe has now placed an order for a third unit.
