Two years ago, Thomas Concrete Group launched a common brand identity for all subsidiaries. The group is growing and have since 2014 acquired some 25 ready-mixed plants in both USA, Germany and Poland.

The intense development of the company, increased demand for concrete and higher expectations from customers make this a natural step to strengthen the organisation with additional skills.
