Weckenmann
Daniel Breitbach,
Senior Sales Manager, Weckenmann
Weckenmann has been an internationally leading machinery producer for the precast industry for over 40 years and has already set up more than 300 pre-cast factories all over the world, including India, said Senior Sales Manager, Daniel Breitbach.

As the company offers the whole range of products from single machinery to complete turnkey factories, we feel that we are an ideal partner for Indian companies wishing to establish themselves in the precast industry because we offer the complete range of products required by the precast industry including walls (solid and double walls), façades, sandwich walls, slabs, columns, and beams.

Weckenmann
In fact, the precast industry in India is still in a nascent stage but offers huge business potentials in sectors including private housing, commercial and industrial buildings. Numerous leading real estate developers, construction companies and new companies entering into this market, as well as architects and structural engineers who have recognised this potential, are looking for strong and reliable partners with whom they can build alliances to start their own production by making their entry into the industry. It is Weckenmann's aim to further promote its products and long experience in this field to establish contacts to these companies and individuals.

Weckenmann already its a presence in India, which is reflected in an existing customer base as well as a continuous market cultivation through our mother company itself as well as our Indian agent. Since the precast industry in India is still in an emerging phase, Weckenmann would like to support the industry's needs by providing efficient and cost sensitive start up factories, which can be expanded in the future along with this industry's further development.

The precast industry is not a "mass product" but an industry based on larger investment amounts with individual factories. Nevertheless, it is important to be well-represented in the market and to be close to our customers. Weckenmann follows a double approach by being represented inside India through an active agent who can keep in close contact with our customer base. In addition, however, we feel it is important to be present continuously through regular visits from Germany. Weckenmann guarantees a strong after sales support 24/7. The availability of spare parts is ensured by using key wear components from internationally reputed companies which can easily be acquired by our customers anywhere in India.
