At Armcon Precast, we’re always excited to support customers on their precast journey, whether they’re established businesses or just getting started. Recently, we welcomed a new customer from Sweden who reached out to us with a vision: to try his hand at making his own precast products. He initially purchased a few moulds for a DIY project, wanting to test the process before deciding whether to take it further. After receiving his moulds, he created his first slotted fence posts and panels and was thrilled with the results His positive experience has inspired him to return in a few weeks to purchase more moulds, with the long-term goal of potentially starting his own precast business in Sweden.
WELCOMES A NEW CUSTOMER IN SWEDEN
One of the driving factors behind his decision was the lack of availability of premium precast slotted fence posts and panels in Sweden Currently, many customers there are forced to import products from the Netherlands or Germany, often at a high cost By producing his own, he not only saved money, but he was also able to open the door to new opportunities in the Swedish market.
Commenting on his experience with Armcon Precast:
“When looking for concrete posts, I could only find premade ones in Denmark, quite pricey, I realized why not make them myself, how hard can it be, so by looking more, I found you guys and then I got in contact with you on WhatsApp through your site All my concerns and questions got answered and I got confident I would be able to make it!
Shipping all as expected! You are just the best so I’m super happy!”
We’re proud to have played a part in helping him get started and look forward to supporting his journey as he explores the exciting world of precast.
