More than 1,500 different rubber matrix designs for the production of sophisticated concrete slabs

A steadily growing number of house and apartment owners want indoor and outdoor floor coverings and products for gardening and landscaping as well as wall coverings that emphasize the individual character of the property and stand out from the common mass-produced goods (Figure 1). In order to survive in this market, in which ceramic products are increasingly being used, manufacturers of concrete slabs are required to adapt to changing customer requirements and offer their customers sophisticated products that are suitable for everyday use. Numerous manufacturers rely on SR Schindler, a member of the Topwerk Group, when selecting the production technology. SR Schindler is a leading supplier of hermetic presses for the production of concrete slabs and a renowned supplier of complete production lines for the surface finishing of concrete paving stones and concrete slabs. At the same time SR Schindler is one of the world's largest suppliers of rubber matrices for hermetic presses.
