The manufacture of wet-ast gravel boards : high performance, state-of-the-art production plant

With a large range of colours, formats, structures and finishes, the gravel boards market is growing in the modern landscading industry. Maes Betonfabriek, based in Dessel, Belgium, is one of the main manufacturers of concrete fencing in the country. Founded in 1949 by Karel Maes, this family-owned company is currently managed by his sones, Lund and Dirk Maes, and the upcoming generation is already active in the company. With more than 50 years of experience, Maes Betonfabriek manufactures and markets a large range of concrete products.

The strong suit of the company is the sustainability, variety and contemporary design of its products. With a daily production of about 200 tons of concrete, Maes Betonfabriek is equipped with 4 wet-cast production lines supplied by Quadra, the Equipment manufacturer. The partnership between both companies began with the delivery of the first DIFAL machine in 2006. Faced with the technical and aesthetic requirements of the products and the growth of the business, Maes Betonfabriek quickly became interested in a modern, automated and efficient industrial solution, designed and manufactured by Quadra.
