What would that be, Mr Zeh?

Competence team formwork profiles.

“This is a test station at which the holding force of one of our magnets is tested. The magnets in question are part of our various series of formwork systems. The formwork elements are created after extensive discussions with the customer, where the individual needs of production and the components envisaged for it are analysed. For each customer project, the ‘formwork systems’ team work closely together and incorporate all areas of the business – from sales through design to production. This is essential, because it is important to understand the final product in order to plan production efficiently or to optimise it. During these consultations it is often found that it is cheaper to develop a universal formwork system for several products, rather than a separate formwork element for each product. Basically, our goal is to develop a customised solution that incorporates the utmost flexibility for each client, regardless of whether the formwork elements are handled manually or by robot. That's more important than ever, not least because of the increasingly complex demands and requirements to concrete construction. Because, without formwork nothing goes, it is the heart of every precast concrete plant. It is responsible for the accuracy and immaculate appearance of every precast concrete part. At Weckenmann, we know it. This is why we infuse every formwork profile manufactured here in Dormettingen with the accumulated know-how from many years of experience and expert development. Obviously, we do not rest on our laurels. And a good example of that is the new ‘MagnetBox M2413’. Despite being of the same design, with about 24,000 Newtons it has a much stronger holding power than its predecessors.”
