Premier Concrete Equipment (PCE)

What Premier Concrete Equipment (PCE) does

Premier Concrete Equipment Pty Ltd (PCE) is a privately-held Australian equipment distribution and concrete-flooring services company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Berrinba, Queensland, with a second office in Smeaton Grange (Sydney). The company serves construction firms and concrete contractors across Australia and Southeast Asia as the exclusive regional distributor for Allen Engineering equipment and as the exclusive Somero Laser Screed dealer for eight Southeast Asian markets, supplemented by Oztec, Kraft Tool, Gorilla, and BackSaver product lines. PCE also markets its own PCE Pro Series walk-behind power trowels (PRO424, PRO430, PRO436, PRO440), assembled in Sydney, and has developed three proprietary measurement instruments: the DT Elite Floor Profileograph, the Premier E1155 mobile application (iOS and Android), and a TR34 FM measuring package, each paired with in-house software for FF/FL floor evaluation under ACI, ASTM, DIN, BS, and TR34 standards.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining transactional hardware distribution through a Shopify-powered e-commerce storefront with multi-tier pricing (from $73 AUD consumable trowel blades to $91,271 AUD premium ride-on trowels and custom-configured pavers sold via direct quote), alongside higher-margin services: professional equipment repair, floor flatness and levelness inspection, abrasion resistance testing, and ACI-authorized training and certification programs delivered in the Asia Pacific region by Golden Trowel-recognized trainers. PCE's distribution model blends direct sales, channel partnerships with original equipment manufacturers, and relationship-based enterprise sales to large construction customers including Fulton Hogan, Tricorp, SETC, KI-TEC, Kraftur, and Crete Co. The company's value proposition combines exclusive access to leading USA-engineered concrete equipment with consulting, certification, and inspection services that extend the customer relationship beyond the point of sale into recurring measurement, training, and aftermarket support revenue.
