Summary:
A French company specialised in prefabricated concrete products is looking for manufacturing and subcontracting agreements in Europe and Switzerland. It is mainly looking for contacts with sawmills and cheese factories because it has developed specific and innovative solutions for them.
Description:
The French manufacturer of prefabricated concrete products is looking for manufacturing and subcontracting agreements to access to new markets and develop its turnover abroad.
Precast concrete makes it possible to design differently, to obtain extreme precision and to reach previously unthinkable objectives. The diversity of the works carried out testifies to its ability to respond each time tailor-made to very specific and truly varied requests. The prefabricated is a prodigious tool when a handful of men think together to find the optimal solution. This is precisely what drives the French company, from prototype to small series.
These are the type of concrete products manufactured by the French company:
- Cheese ripening cellars:
Reinforced concrete construction system, consisting of a kit of several pieces forming a vaulted ceiling placed on 4 corner posts. The kits can be assembled to cover a large area. In this case, the corner posts are common. This product is available in 2 different bending radii and height on demand.
- Prefabricated concrete columns of square or rectangular section:
The company is equipped to meet any request for the manufacture of concrete posts, including in high heights, large sections, for a total weight per piece possible up to 20 tons. In order to best meet its clients' requests, it has the opportunity to carry out: all types of forks at the top, concrete crows in the 4 possible sides, all bookings for framing and bolting, all seals for equipment and mounting plates, all types of waiting boxes for resumption of concreting.
- Special building and civil engineering parts:
The strength of this company comes from their commitment to find the optimal solution to the project by respecting very precisely all the constraints and expectations of the customer. The prototype, the tailor-made have the effect of nurturing passion and skills that drive them in the search for ideas and means to implement for reaching the expected quality of achievement. Toads and batrachoducts, technical galleries for the conveyor of aggregates, wall of exercises of the SDIS (Departmental Fire and Emergency Service), sandblasters ... can be manufactured by the company.
- Specific parts for the sawmills:
The company has developed 4 families of products adapted for the wood processing industry (described on technical specification and expertise).
- Massive stability for log storage:
Parts for the storage of round wood, including 2 reservations for ranchers or stanchions. There are 4 possible designs:
◾storage end piece for long length logs (mainly coniferous),
◾stack end piece for small length logs (mostly hardwood),
◾intermediate part for short wood,
◾intermediate separation room for long wood.
Recovery cradles under a sorting chain: reception rooms for log sorters. There are 3 possible designs: double room, telephone end piece, simple piece.
Weight slab for dryer: weight slab for board loads to prevent deformation when drying wood at high temperatures.
- Concrete manholes and technical pieces for networks:
In chambers of wet or dry networks, structures not exceeding 30 tons are proposed as a monobloc priority to significantly reduce the time of installation and thus limit the risks inherent in work on public roads during the excavation.
- Ornamental and retaining walls:
They delimit the properties in suburban zones or in the heart of the cities. Elements of protection, they adapt in height and in length to the characteristics of the ground. The walls of ornament in prefabricated concrete open wide the field of the possibilities of form and appearance. There are different aspects: stone, wood or plant, white or natural concrete. Straight or sinuous, they take on a stone, vegetable or wood look and replicate the texture of natural materials. Easy to install, resistant to shocks and weather, decorative, they succeed the doubled "durability and aesthetics" challenge.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
Type of partners sought:
Owners or managers of sawmills and cheese factories, constructors of buildings in wood and concrete who want to collaborate under manufacturing or subcontracting agreements with the French company.
Type of main partners sought: sawmills and cheese factories particularly in Switzerland, landscapers, developers and individuals, construction companies, institutions or organisations, local authorities which used to work under public markets tenders.
Role:
The future partners will be able to cooperate under public markets tenders or industrial manufacturing and subcontracting in a long term and reliable collaborations.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought:
Precisions regarding specific parts of sawmills provided by the French company:
1 - Mass storage for the ridges:
These are parts for the storage of round logs, with 2 stanchions. 4 designs are possible: end piece declined in 2 dimensions for storage of short or long wood pieces, intermediate piece of separation of batteries declined in 2 dimensions for the short and long woods.
2 - Recovery cradles under a sorting line:
These are reception pieces for log sorters. 3 possible designs are offered by the company: double piece, chain-end piece, simple piece.
3 - Weight slab for dryer:
This is a ballast slab to deposit on the loads of planks to prevent deformation when drying wood at high temperatures.
Stage of Development:
Already on the market
Comments Regarding Stage of Development:
A range of 350 drawings of ornemental and retaining walls are available for landscapers, developers and individuals.
