RK6 and SIMEM build concrete partnership

New sales agreement will see Red Knight 6 offer SIMEM’s full suite of products in UK and Ireland

LONDON-based distributors Red Knight 6 Ltd (RK6) have become the new UK and Ireland sales partner for SIMEM, the Italian-based manufacturers of static and mobile concrete batching plants.

SIMEM, whose headquarters are near Verona, are among the leaders in ready-mixed and precast concrete solutions and are currently involved in numerous large-scale projects around the world, including Crossrail in the UK.

The partnership will see RK6 offer SIMEM’s full portfolio of concrete batching products to the UK and Ireland markets, including the Bison mobile batching plant which can be set up in less than four hours and is well suited to smaller work sites.

‘The UK and Ireland are important markets for Simem given the many major projects that are either live or in the pipeline, including HS2,’ said Damiano Bozzo, sales manager at SIMEM.

‘We have nearly 60 years’ experience in concrete production and have worked on some of the biggest projects around the world. We have a full support network ready to go and by partnering with RK6 we can access the whole market.’

Paul Donnelly, managing director of RK6, added: ‘We already work closely with concrete producers throughout the UK and understand their requirements. In partnership with SIMEM, we can offer full design, development, installation, commissioning and, via the head office, support functions, so customers will be very well catered for.’
