WHAT DOES THE REBRAND LOOK LIKE? In another celebration of Armcon's employee owned status - we thought it was time for a change to show how far we have come this year. As you can see from the branding, we've gone for a fresh and more exciting look for our revolutionary change here at Armcon. In time you'll see changes in Armcon's brand whether it be online or simply an invoice - we're the same Armcon, but with major improvements!

Pictured are some goodies that we're going to be giving away to show our customers we appreciate them, from mixers to coffee cups and air fresheners....we prepared for anything.

you might need when you're pouring concrete., with more to come!

And merchandise is not the only thing that will be new...we'll be changing our look on social media, our website and also at exhibitions and trade shows!

You will have already seen a change in the new Armcon Way attitude so to come along with that we're kitting out staff with brand new uniforms and vehicles...be sure to look out for them!

Here's a teaser of our new look.

BUT WHY? The refreshed brand enhances our empahsis on looking to the future. At Armcon we're proud of our history as the company who introduced volumetric mixers to the UK.

But now, we're ready to introduce our British mixers to the world. Our new brand represents the dynamic and innovative nature of our business and our total commitment to customer care.

The Armcon Way

Decisive actions already taken include a new competitive pricing structure for parts and service, the introduction of a free mixer inspection and a clear goal to provide the highest quality and customer service in the industry.

INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE

apprenticeship scheme. Joe, Charlotte and Thabo are the start of this new generation.

As is Robert, who has joined us straight from university to further strengthen our technical team and provide us with the mixers of the future, aligning with our target of being a carbon neutral business.

With our long term goals of being a global business, a new generation of Armcon team members have been recruited on our company Designing and improving our product range, as well as conducting more reasearch into the concrete world.

And with that, we go onto our next announcement...

NEW PRODUCT LAUNCH The ”New” Armcon way is all about listening to our customers and providing and supporting them with the best equipment and aftercare.

Having spent a number of years remanufacturing other mixer brands our customers have demanded a British built Static mixer and we are happy to oblige.

After extensive research, planning and design we are excited to announce that we will be show casing our new static mixer at Hillhead 2022. ....and that is the Armcon way!

THE RELATIONSHIP Customer relationships are everything to us and we were pleased to hear great feedback from Tippers recently: "Armcon has helped us numerous times in the past with quick callouts to customers building sites and our own yard to repair and service our vehicles. Overall our team is very impressed with the brilliant quality of the vehicles, knowledgeable technicians and prompt repair and service.

PAGE 4 GO THE EXTRA MILE TO PROTECT YOUR MIXER THIS WINTER, AS EVERY JOB COUNTS! The winter season is when the most damange occurs to your mixer. Although winter may be the quietest period for your business, it is important to keep your mixer operational and pouring by ensuring that your mixer is thoroughly maintained.

It is important to make sure that you're prepared and equipped for the winter season. An example of this would be worn out valves, which makes it difficult to carry out draining maintenance. This inevitably leads to freezing liquids in your mixer.

This means that by the next morning you may have to deal with a potential mixer

breakdown, when it could have been prevented!

By contacting our expert engineers and parts specialists, they can recommend how to avoid winter breakdowns.

WATER PUMP DRAIN

TECH TIP In freezing weather, avoid leaving aggregate materials in the mixer over night

FLOW METER DRAIN

WATER VALVE DRAIN

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR MIXER FROM FROST DAMAGE:

The key things are to drain the water pump, flow meter and water valve. This ensures that liquids do not frost and hinder your mixer in extreme conditions.

Specific instructions vary from model to model so the manual you have is best to refer to - better yet our technical team and engineers are always on hand to assist you.

Whether it's carrying out simple winter maintenance or a free engineer mixer health check.... just like that your mixer can be in full health, ready for the busy concrete season to start in Spring!

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN Protecting your mixer

MORE IS COMING...

If you think we forgot about our Precast division, think again!

We've been on this project for a while and the wait is almost over, with a new look, a new global website and new products.... Armcon Precast is becoming bigger and better Believe it or not, Armcon started as a precast business, so we're going back to the company's roots and focusing on building a brighter future ahead.

The concrete world is evolving, and so are we !
