Metromix Concrete Fiji, a division of MY Group Limited, has invested approximately $500,000 into two new 15 cubic metre ready mix trucks.
Company general manager Azad Ali said it was no doubt this was an investment that would be a boost for the industry.
Mr Ali said: “These trucks were bought from China and it’s now time to set the quality and service delivery of concrete around the nation to another level.
“Now the company has invested in these two new trucks to incorporate the latest required volumes of supplies to government and private sectors.”
Mr Ali said they expect to bring more trucks by next year.
However, he said the two trucks would make work easier at a faster pace and without triple loading of mix as it would be just one load.
“It will also be cost effective,” he stressed.
Metromix currently has 10 five metre cubic and two seven cubic metre trucks which would take five or more loads on any project.
These trucks would be used in bigger projects for infrastructure and production.
Mr Ali said government had announced in the 2014 budget to undertake development programmes in civil and new infrastructure works across the country.
“Metromix is fully equipped with the right tools and modern technology with various convenient methods and quality supplies as per customer requirements and guarantees the service to maximum satisfaction,” he said.
New future plans
MY Group director Nooriza Khan explained the group’s plans for next year.
“This year there has been a lot of progress for transport. Recently, a few new trucks arrived from England and hopefully next year there will be more,” Ms Khan said.
She said they are looking to invest about $5 million in new equipment, trucks and heavy machinery for the group to progress more efficiently.
