Besser Block Talk

In July 2000 Besser Company became the exclusive North American distributor for Simem, one of the world leaders in concrete mixing, headquartered in Verona, Italy.

Ongoing Simem North America operations were absorbed by Besser Simem. Judi Taylor, Besser Simem product manager and Becky Barnes, office manager, will remain in Denver, Colorado operating the Besser Simem customer service offices. Former president of Simem North American operations, Robert Ober, has relocated to Besser Appco in San Antonio, Texas. He will manage the concrete production and delivery systems for the Besser Simem product line. Besser Simem is supported by a team of talented engineers and sales personnel who are knowledgeable in the technologies of mixing and delivery systems.

The Besser Simem product line includes spiral blade, twin shaft, planetary counter current and continuous mixers. These mixers are used for the production of concrete in all segments of the industry including architectural and standard concrete masonry units, landscaping and paving products, ready mix, pipe, roof tile, prestress, precast and concrete paving for infrastructure.

The alliance between Besser and Simem positions Besser Simem as the industry’s most complete and technologically advanced mixing machinery manufacturer. Besser Simem brings an awesome array of mixing machinery, delivery systems, controls and batch plants to the concrete products industry.

"Besser Simem supplies the concrete products industry with a complete line of mixers that meet specific needs. Whether you are producing architectural units, landscape products, standard gray concrete masonry units with top mixes, ready mix, pipe, prestress, precast, roof tile or concrete paving for infrastructure, we have a mixer to exactly match your specialized needs," remarked Jeff Wallace, Besser vice president, marketing. The ongoing goal of the Besser Family of Companies is to supply the industry with the equipment, products and services that set the standard for excellence. Besser Simem mixing technology is a further step in that direction, insuring that the Besser Family of Companies continues to provide the absolute best technology available to the industry.

In coming months many exciting new features on Besser Simem mixers will be highlighted. This will include onboard self-diagnostic systems called MixerMind, automated washout systems, as well as fast, high performance mixers offering complete mixes as quickly as 30 seconds! Future issues of the Besser Block magazine will focus on specifics of the expanded Besser Simem product line including detailed information on the complete line of mixing technology and "flying buckets" or automated rail delivery systems.
