GB Concrete adds first Cemen Tech mixer

GB Concrete, based in Sutton Coldfield in the West Midlands, has taken delivery of its first Cemen Tech C60 volumetric concrete mixer from Volumech, a Cemen Tech company.

The growing firm, which provides professional concreting services across the region, initially worked with Volumech for workshop servicing and repairs before turning to its technical team for support in gaining BSI accreditation.

Kieran Blaney, operations manager at GB Concrete, said: “We have built a good relationship with Volumech over the last 12 months. It started from a workshop point of view then onto purchasing and parts. We then went to Volumech to help us with the technical side of things when we were looking to attain our BSI accreditation.

“From the top to the bottom, everybody at Volumech, whether it’s the engineers, the technical team or the staff in the office, they are all very supportive and really want to help us as a company grow. They are not just there to sell a vehicle.”

The company plans to modernise its fleet by purchasing three volumetric mixers over the next three years, bringing operations in line with the 2028 legislative changes.

The Cemen Tech C60 is described as the world’s best-selling, fully automated volumetric mixer. It batches, mixes, pours and tracks concrete in a single unit, offering consistent results through pre-programmed mix designs, as well as cost savings.

Steve Cartwright, general manager at Volumech, said: “We are delighted that GB Concrete have purchased their first new volumetric mixer from us. Our relationship is built on trust and reliability as we worked with them in the workshop and parts side of the business initially, before assisting with their technical requirements and now sales. It is a testament to the fantastic team working at Volumech and is a great example of the 360-degree bespoke service we are able to offer.”

The first truck was handed over on-site as part of a comprehensive calibration and operator training programme, with Volumech continuing to provide ongoing support.
