How to modernize an old factory in under a year? Santalan Betoni decided to make a bold investment by resurrecting an outdated factory building in Raasepori, Finland, to bring it up to standard for modern precast production. This turnkey project with Elematic started a new era of wall element production in the facility.
When
Mikko Lahti, CEO of Santalan Betoni, looks around the old factory building and reviews the details of the factory’s current capacity, production pace and new layout, he has good reason to be content. There are 26 casting tables inside the building, and the factory produces between 20 to 40 precast concrete elements every day, depending on the degree of difficulty and equipment needed. This brings the refurbished factory’s capacity to over 200 000 m2 per year.
