In mid-December 2013, a three-member delegation from Liberty Stone Hardscaping Systems in the USA travelled to Germany. Their purpose was to gain first-hand information about actual trends, concrete products and concrete processing technology as their company is currently contemplating investment in new production systems. Liberty Stone, who has been successfully operating a vapor curing system from Kraft Curing Systems for over 10 years, turned to Michael Kraft who was extremely helpful in organising a tour of several well-known machine manufacturers and other producers in Germany for the team from Liberty Stone.
