Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

When Omag, a concrete machine manufacturer from Emden, Germany, found itself in financial difficulties in 2013 for the second time, many industry insiders predicted the demise of this traditional North German mechanical engineering company. Nonetheless, the insolvency administrators endeavoured to find a suitable investor for the troubled company. The white knight was found in Jakob Weets, a trucking and logistics specialist from Emden. In 2013, the company recommenced operations with 16 employees as “Omag Service GmbH”. A period of uncertainty followed restructuring but now Omag is once more on the road to success. The first customer after this reorganisation was a Polish company, Pater Firma, who purchased a complete block making system. Pater Firma had been a customer of Omag with two concrete block lines even before this new beginning and proved to be a very faithful customer who remains committed to the Omag brand name.
