ABOUT CESCO AUSTRALIA

Exporting is the key to the future for both Cesco Australia. Our international footprint continues to grow, and delivering to offshore markets will remain a major priority for the Group. Our exporting performance has already earned Cesco Australia accolades in the form of numerous export awards. These awards are sweeter because our products are entirely designed and manufactured in Australia.

The Cesco Australia network stretches across Asia, including Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and China. The Cesco mixer carries with it its formidable reputation for quality construction and mix consistency. Cesco Australia actively pursues export opportunities, and can supply our products anywhere our clients operate around the globe. Our track record in Asia is testament to our capabilities outside Australia.

CESCO AND AUSTRALIAN CONCRETING HISTORY

Cesco Australia traces its rich history in the Concrete industry right back to Fowler Wood, Fowler Rex, Challenge Cook and through companies like Howard Engineering, Forbes Engineering and Rheem Australia.

Just as we have been a part of the nation's construction history, we have a major part to play in building our nation, and others around the world, throughout the 21st Century.

By pure coincidence, the pre-mixed concrete industry arrived in Australia at about the start of World War Two. Cesco Australia can trace its lineage through mergers and acquisitions right back to those heady days of innovation in meeting the demands of a new and thriving nation.

	In 1939 the first Australian Premixed plant opened at Glebe Island Sydney. The plant used a ‘Rex' 3-cubic-yard central mixer called a ‘Tumblebug'. The Tumblebug couldn't mix concrete and could only agitate in transit. By 1944, inclined drum mixers appeared with a 2.5-cubic-yard capacity.

Transit Mixer

In 1946 Fowler Wood Engineering produced the first transit mixer a 3-cubic-yard open mouth discharge model.

In 1952 Moorfield Engineering of Sydney built the first Challenge 6-cubic-yard machine.

The Snowy Mountains scheme proved a major opportunity for Australian innovation to excel in the design and manufacture of Truck Mixers, with feats never achieved before anywhere in the world, such as:

	•	Efficiently handling low slump concrete
	•	Widening the drum mouth for fast charging and discharging
	•	Mixing concrete uniformly meeting the most exacting standards, and
	•	Using transit Mixers as Central
	•	Mixers on major civil constructions.

In fact, our unique blade design and presses were perfected from the extensive research and development work undertaken during the Snowy Mountains project.
