Thomas Armstrong Group Celebrates 20 Years of Production at Consett Site

Thomas Armstrong Group is celebrating a significant milestone: 20 years of continuous concrete block production at their Consett site. The journey began in 2005 with the installation of a state-of-the-art KVM concrete block plant, which has since become a vital asset in supplying high-quality concrete products to customers across the UK.

‍

Over the past two decades, the KVM plant has produced thousands of tonnes of concrete products, playing a crucial role in supporting both local communities and broader customer projects nationwide. The success of this operation is attributed to the robust and reliable KVM equipment, coupled with exceptional support from KVM’s UK offices in Derby, which recently celebrated 40 years of operation, and their engineering team in Denmark.

‍

To ensure the plant’s continued efficiency and to meet evolving production demands, KVM recently installed a new packing handling line at the Consett site, enhancing its capabilities and aligning it with the latest industry standards. Moreover, site staff from Consett have travelled to KVM’s headquarters in Denmark to receive advanced training, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to maximise the plant’s potential.

‍

A cornerstone of this successful partnership is the strong collaboration between the Thomas Armstrong Group site staff and KVM. This relationship has fostered a seamless supply of moulds and spare parts, ensuring uninterrupted production and consistent quality.

‍

Anthony Denham, Managing Director of Thomas Armstrong (Concrete Blocks) Ltd, expressed his satisfaction with the partnership, stating, “The KVM equipment has proven to be reliable and efficient, and we find working with both the UK office and service engineers to be easy and supportive to keeping our operation running.”

This 20-year milestone underscores Thomas Armstrong Group’s commitment to delivering high-quality products and maintaining strong, collaborative relationships with key partners like KVM. As the company looks to the future, it remains dedicated to innovation and excellence in the concrete block production industry.
