“Betonika” draws the exclusive attention for the innovative solutions, which play a key role in developing pre-cast concrete concepts, products and manufacturing processes in addition to raw materials. Each project executed by “Betonika” while supplying the customers with the solutions of pre-cast elements is unique. Referring to the customer’s requirements the most suitable solutions in respect to the elements and costs are offered.
The fact “Betonika” is a part of big group, which was founded after the merge of “Consolis” and “Bonna Sabla” companies grants a huge possibility in disposing the useful information of researches and their results. Together, Consolis companies have huge experience in production processes and knowledge that cannot be found elsewhere in this sector; the entire Group profits from this expertise Innovative solutions have a central role for success. The exploitation of new ideas is of utmost importance for the development of “Betonika” operations. Development projects cover four priority areas, such as concepts, products, manufacturing processes as well as raw materials:
The first area of priority is product and building and infra concept development according to the market need. “Betonika” will be able to function much more flexibly, as to develop new products that can be manufactured with the present production machinery The second priority area is design and its related international and national standardization. Good design tools are an important part of the whole pre-cast concrete business process. Design data that has been created using modern CAD programs can be used in the company throughout the entire information flow.
The third priority area concerns the company’s knowledge of concrete and all its properties. Research activities provide the specialists with the opportunity to find out which property of concrete is the most suitable for which purpose.
Due to the fact that it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain good raw materials, there is necessary to seek out and research alternative materials - even such materials that others would consider to be waste material - in order to optimize costs. The fourth area is developing production processes by increasing industrialization, which will improve productivity and quality.
Development is vital to increasing “Betonika’s” competitiveness. Better quality and cost efficiency require additional investments. In addition to being able to compete with similar products on the market, “Betonika’s” products and concepts must also be competitive when it comes to alternative products and building systems.
