Besser Company is excited to remind you, our valued and appreciated customers, that we offer a full range of concrete products equipment, parts and support from North America and our representatives worldwide.
Besser has grown considerably over the years through acquisition and expansion. Many of the acquisitions have provided us new product lines, improved technology, excellent employees and manufacturing locations. Several years ago we began to evaluate all of our resources to ensure our leadership position in the market segments we serve. As a result we began manufacturing parts for big board equipment and curing systems in the USA. In addition we took steps to consolidate underutilized warehouses and manufacturing space, similar to what many of our customers have done.
Last year Besser took necessary steps to close our manufacturing facility in Emden, Germany and began transitioning the entire big board and curing product lines to the USA. Today we supply parts and service for the OMAG equipment from our Headquarters located in Alpena, Michigan USA. In addition we can deliver a complete big board plant combining the best of Besser technologies to your door in 5 months.
We have taken the same steps in providing complete Curing Systems for block, pavers, pipe and precast manufacturing systems. Since the purchase of Kraft Energy in 2010 Besser engineers have been redesigning existing curing systems and have advanced the product line by performing extensive design reviews of the Kraft kiln systems using state-of-the-art flow simulation software. We are now able to solve deficiencies in existing kiln systems and provide a professional resolution with true engineering accuracy. New Besser Curing Systems, that work as promised, have the advantage of these advanced engineering simulations which we are not aware any other kiln supplier is providing today.
Besser is better than ever and proud to be serving and supporting the concrete products industry as we approach our 110th anniversary, standing behind our products and improving them. This year we have held four Blockmakers Workshops® with two scheduled in May and four more this fall. To keep the momentum going we are offering a FREE training session at the World Center for Concrete Technology with any new equipment or service contract signed with Besser in 2013.
We look forward to working with you by exceeding your expectations of all of your concrete products equipment and curing systems today and into the future. If you will be attending Bauma, please come and see what's new in Hall B1, Booth 127/228.
Sincerely,
Kevin L. Curtis
