What ConSpare does
ConSpare is a UK-based specialist B2B supplier focused on concrete batching plant equipment, spare parts, and site services for the concrete production industry. Founded in 1978 and headquartered in Sutton-in-Ashfield, the company operates three specialist departments covering Capital Projects (new equipment installations), Spares (replacement parts and consumables), and Bulk Materials Handling. Its competitive position rests on long-held exclusive UK distribution agreements with major European manufacturers, including sole UK agency for TEKA concrete mixers (pan, planetary, turbine, and twinshaft variants), sole UK distribution for Walter automated mixer washout systems (a 20+ year relationship), and UK distribution for Hydronix moisture measurement equipment. The company also distributes complementary products from WAM, ASSYX, Weber, and STARCLEAN and operates a £2 million stockholding for immediate despatch of replacement parts. Customer concentration spans readymix producers, precast manufacturers, concrete block makers, and major infrastructure projects including HS2 and Hinkley Point C nuclear power station.
The business model is a hybrid of capital equipment sales and recurring parts-and-service revenue. Capital Projects handles specification, sale, and installation of multi-thousand-litre TEKA mixers, Walter washout systems, and Hydronix moisture systems into new and retrofit batching plants through technical sales engineers and site surveys. The Spares Department provides proprietary branded wear parts (Hawiflex polyurethane blades, AlphaPlate hardweld tiles, UltraTungsten carbide components, ConeFlex discharge liners, ConSpareUltra vibration table liners) plus a supply-and-fit installation service via approved sub-contractors. Site Services is delivered through the UK's only approved Walter service scheme with factory-trained engineers. All pricing is custom-quoted based on plant specifications and application requirements; no public pricing or e-commerce channels exist. Go-to-market is direct B2B through named account managers, supported by an extensive case-study library and active presence at industry trade shows including UK Concrete Show, Precast & Masonry Expo, and Hillhead. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investment and operates under ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification.
Differentiation is built on process integration rather than product uniqueness. ConSpare does not manufacture core capital equipment; instead, it combines multiple OEMs' products, its own proprietary wear-part brands, and engineering services to address the entire concrete production workflow (storage, conveying, batching, mixing, discharging, cleaning). Documented customer outcomes include 3x longer wear-part life (Hawiflex vs cast steel), 2,460% ROI on Hydronix moisture measurement, 40% power reduction with TEKA planetary mixers, and elimination of confined-space entry through Walter automated washout.

ConSpare competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Rapid International: Northern Ireland-based manufacturer of pan, planetary and twin-shaft concrete mixers. Direct competitor to TEKA on ConSpare's core mixer line and operates in the same UK/Ireland readymix and precast segments.
- BHS-Sonthofen: German manufacturer of twin-shaft mixers and concrete production equipment globally. Competes directly with the TEKA and mixer-wear-parts portfolio ConSpare distributes, serving the same readymix and precast customers.
