What Concore does

Concore B.V. is a Dutch industrial equipment manufacturer specializing in machinery for precast concrete production, with a primary focus on hollow core slab manufacturing. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Helmond, the company designs and delivers extruders, slipformers, automated plotters, multi-angle saws, and a V33 auger line, alongside ancillary equipment including casting beds, concrete aspirators, weep hole drilling machines, lifting beams, slab cover wagons, concrete shuttles, and half-portal distribution systems. All products are manufactured at Motis Group's facilities in Helmond through a closely held partnership in which Motis Group and Theso Industrial Automation are both partners and shareholders, alongside individual partner Sven Wallgren, previously co-founder of X-tec Oy Ltd.

The company's core technology rests on patented extrusion mechanisms with improved compaction geometry and automatic operation, proprietary V33 auger geometry delivering 60–100% longer service life and 20–25% higher machine speed, laser-guided XYZ plotter systems with market-leading position in hollow core marking since 1993, and multi-angle saws with 0–180 degree capability and longitudinal splitting. Equipment is certified to NEN-EN-ISO 9001:2000, VCA**, CE, and UL standards, supporting both European and American market access. Concore's technology stack emphasizes automation and precision rather than AI/ML, with embedded control software, touch-screen interfaces, and CAD interoperability rather than data-driven or model-based functionality.

Concore operates a direct B2B sales model with long-cycle enterprise engagement, targeting precast concrete manufacturers globally with particular penetration in Central Europe, the UK, and Scandinavia, and North America through a cooperation with SPANCRETE. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales, complete turnkey hollow core plant implementation projects, spare parts and V33 auger aftermarket sales, and ongoing service and maintenance contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting the custom-configured nature of the machinery to specific customer cross-sections and plant layouts. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no dealer or reseller network.

Revenue model

1. Capital Equipment Sales — Machinery: Concore generates revenue primarily from the sale of advanced precast concrete machinery including extruders, slipformers, plotters, multi-angle saws, concrete aspirators, weep hole drilling machines, lifting beams, slab cover wagons, concrete shuttles, half-portal systems, multi-function machines, and casting beds. These are high-value capital equipment purchases typically made by precast concrete manufacturers and construction companies.
2. Complete Hollow Core Plant Implementation: Concore provides end-to-end implementation of hollow core plants, including advisory services, complete plant setup, machinery sourcing, and integration. This represents a high-value, project-based revenue stream for complete factory deployments.
3. Molds and Equipment Accessories: Concore offers a wide range of molds (for T-beams, columns, piles) alongside machinery, as well as interchangeable forming inserts (SF 300, SF 500, SF 1000) for slipformers, augers, spare parts, and accessories.
4. Service, Maintenance, and Support: Concore provides service and maintenance support including platforms for maintenance, operator training, troubleshooting, spare parts inventory, and ongoing technical support for installed machinery.
