Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

At its site in the Bavarian town of Geretsried, concrete manufacturer Betonwerk Kühne GmbH & Co. KG mainly produces precast concrete parts for civil engineering. The company has exacting standards when it comes to product quality, reliability, and punctuality. Guaranteeing that these three promises to customers are always kept takes excellent organization, motivated and capable staff, and—last but not least—cutting-edge production facilities. Ongoing investments in new, modern machines and production processes make it possible to comply with emissions legislation, optimize production workflows, reduce waste, and use materials more economically. Following the overhaul of the concrete mixing plant, the latest investment project involved replacing the existing production equipment for manhole risers and manhole cones, a 1989 Magic model from Schlüsselbauer. In spite of its robust design, the unit was beginning to show its age, and the outlay associated with ongoing servicing work could no longer be justified. However, since Kühne were still extremely satisfied with this Schlüsselbauer equipment, they once again opted for this tried-and-tested production concept and a modern Magic 1501 is now taking the place of the old machine.
