Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

“Concrete in Perfection” is the slogan of RBW Rohrdorfer Betonwerke GmbH & Co. KG with their headquarters at Zeilarn, in the state of Bavaria, Germany. The company produces precast from basement to roof at five sites, all located in Bavaria. As the largest element flooring manufacturer in this state, RBW naturally opts for the most modern production plants, which also provide the company with sufficient production capacity. In 2009, it was decided to replace the Rosenau site, at which prefabricated concrete wall and flooring elements had previously been manufactured, with a new site. A choice was made in favour of an entirely new production location at Berglern, to be erected on a greenfield site. The new construction was set up next to existing facilities – a modern plant for concrete products and a directly adjacent facility for sand and gravel production – that also belong to Rohrdorfer Group. Two Progress Group companies, Progress Maschinen & Automation and Ebawe Anlagentechnik, were appointed as suppliers for the pallet circulation system and reinforcement technology integrated into the production line for manufacturing double and solid walls. The new circulation system was commissioned right on time for the beginning of the construction season in 2010. The new manufacturing facility in Berglern is now running at full speed supplying construction sites in a radius of approximately 100 km.
