High level of customization is a key performance indicator when it comes to meeting local market needs and product demand. Our unique plant technology enables our customers to distinguish themselves in their market, offering specific and innovative HF products for their end consumers.

Over the years HF has developed a full-scale “Build-to-Suit” Plant Solution. Combining our experience and customer focus, our engineers shall carefully develop your specific plant design which allows production of quality blocks and reinforced panels in the most efficient manner. Our customized approach results in transparent investment expectations and an optimal autoclaved aerated concrete plant infrastructure for your specific location.

Phase 1 (Customized Project Design)
Every Aircrete project starts with a customized engineering phase to develop the optimal balance between technology, local process factors and investment expectations. During this phase, Aircrete heavily focuses on local process factors such as: local building market, raw material testing, optimal products/formula portfolio, location scenarios, plant infrastructure and performance characteristics.
 
Phase 2 (Project Execution)
During project execution we emphasize project management, equipment supply, logistics and complete installation. Aircrete supports its customers in achieving an optimal balance between equipment that could be manufactured locally, and equipment that shall be manufactured by Aircrete in the Netherlands. This flexible international production approach enables our customers to benefit from potential local competitive advantages in production, resulting in an optimal project investment. During the entire project, highly qualified Aircrete technicians and engineers take care of the project management, planning, logistics and installation supervision.
 
Phase 3 (Project Commissioning)
During commissioning we give careful attention to the production start-up of the plant and know-how transfer to the local staff. During this test production period, Aircrete supervisors monitor the production process and optimize process variables. The local staff receives intensive training programs on different production disciplines. At the end of this period, the local team is ready and authorized for operation and the new Aircrete plant can start production.

Phase 4 (Service & Operational Support)
Starting-up a plant requires significant know-how and skills. Aircrete provides additional expert services in the fields of plant management, plant logistics, process technology, and other specific plant consultancy. With the profound experience and professional network of our experts, we offer support to our customers for a longer period with specific operational support (on site). Furthermore, we provide full maintenance support as in technical site service and delivery of spare parts.
