A WINNING GROUP ON<br />

THE INTERNATIONAL<br />

MARKETS<br />

For tecnocom, 2014 was a record<br />

year: a record turnover and a record<br />

number of countries reached in terms<br />

of sales and distribution.<br />

REDCO GROUP W.L.L. – a leader in the<br />

production of precast elements and GRC<br />

elements in Qatar<br />

“Redco Group W.L.L.” with its registered office<br />

in Doha (Qatar) was established in 1981 under<br />

the presidency of His excellency Sheik Abdul<br />

Rahman Bin Nasser Al Thani, and today employs<br />

over 500 people operating in a variety of<br />

activities. The Redco Group is the biggest<br />

distributor of imported cement in Qatar. The group<br />

continues to grow and has many interesting<br />

developments underway intended to improve its<br />

corporate structure, under the guiding hand of the<br />

Sheik himself.<br />

The company manufactures a variety of precast<br />

elements, which range from roofing slabs, beams,<br />

confinement walls and decorative GRC covering<br />

panels.<br />

tecnocom, a company in the Progress Group,<br />

was chosen as the ideal partner to supply a 9 x 4<br />

vertical battery mould to manufacture panels for<br />

residential apartments and detached houses.<br />

The tecnocom batteries are designed to cast<br />

reinforced concrete elements in a vertical mould,<br />

with a single layer and large surface area, in a<br />

variety of sizes. As the sides of the mould are<br />

made of fine-polished sheet steel, the surface<br />

finish on both sides of the precast panels is<br />

excellent. The main advantage when using a<br />

vertical battery is being able to combine high<br />

productivity with a relatively small area.<br />

This positive trend continues also in<br />

2015, thanks to our loyal customers<br />

who are continuously being joined<br />

by new customers from all over<br />

the world. The reasons behind this<br />

success lie in the Group‘s policies. In<br />

fact, tecnocom, in collaboration with<br />

progress Maschinen & Automation,<br />

Ebawe Anlagentechnik GmbH, Echo<br />

Precast Engineering and Ultraspan<br />

of the Progress Group, can supply<br />

complete turnkey solutions to<br />

meet any precasting requirements,<br />

anywhere in the world.<br />

“In recent years we‘ve invested<br />

considerably in research and<br />

development, product innovation and<br />

solid participation at international<br />

trade fairs. These factors, along<br />

with the synergies with the other<br />

companies in the Progress Group,<br />

resulted in tecnocom‘s success.”<br />

We wish you a good and interesting<br />

read!<br />
