The company is a leading concrete equipment manufacturer with a comprehensive range of concrete equipment, services and solutions across the concrete application value chain. It has developed a comprehensive product portfolio that includes equipment such as self-loading concrete mixers (SLCMs) and batching plants for the production of concrete, transit mixers for the transportation of concrete, boom pumps, concrete pumps and self-propelled boom pumps for the placement of concrete, slip-form pavers for the paving of concrete and 3D concrete printers for depositing concrete. SLCMs are versatile self-loading machines capable of mixing and transporting concrete ingredients, enabling on-site production of concrete. These machines are equipped with, among others, (i) self-loading arms with a hatch bucket to ensure smooth flow of concrete ingredients into the drum in order to minimise spillage, and (ii) concrete batch controllers to accurately measure all the ingredients in order to produce high quality concrete. 

In addition to its SLCM portfolio, it has a large and diverse range of non-SLCM equipment that cater to various aspects of the concrete production, transportation, placement and paving processes. Its non-SLCM product portfolio includes batching plants for concrete production, transit mixers for concrete transportation, boom pumps, concrete pumps, self-propelled boom pumps for concrete placement, and slip-form pavers. It has been steadily gaining market share in non-SLCMs, driven by its commitment to innovation and quality.
