Plymcrete is a leading, independent ready mix concrete supplier in the Plymouth area and prides itself on providing an unmatched level of service to its clients.
For more than seven years, Plymcrete has drawn on the services of Oscrete for its additives, admixtures and fibres, from the inception of its operating volumetric concrete trucks to supplying products for their high output ready mixed concrete plant and precast concrete lego block factory at Plymouth.
Concrete sales and admin manager Megan Pridham said: “Working with Oscrete makes life easy for our team because they are so reliable, their products really support our own giving us flexibility, resilience, strength and versatility with our concrete mixes. Oscrete’s Optomix 220 goes into all of our concrete mixes and their Osrel Easylease mould release agent is a vital ingredient in our interlocking concrete blocks.”
She added: “Even the Osrel Expel is perfect for a gentle wash for our trucks meaning we can maintain a pristine fleet with no damage to the livery, paintwork or fabric of the vehicles.
“Oscrete delivers its products quickly, responds to our requests instantly and the team are always there with advice, guidance and for product development for us in their labs.”
Oscrete’s Area Technical Sales Manager Ian Crocker, said the team has enjoyed a long relationship with Andrew, Megan and their team at Plymcrete, assisting with many laboratory trials, evaluating alternative raw materials and developing special concrete mixes.
He added: “It is a pleasure working with the Plymcrete team and collaborating with them to supply many prestigious projects in Plymouth and surrounding areas.
“Their high quality interlocking concrete blocks are of particular note with both standard and unique decorative finishes, meanwhile, Oscrete’s S-Master Structural Fibres are widely used by Plymcrete to replace traditional steel mesh reinforcement in ground-supported concrete slabs. We are delighted that so many of our products are used behind the scenes of this trusted and ever-evolving family business.”
