Denmark: Concrete panel maker forecasts competition

Article Abstract:

Competition in the market for precast concrete panels is set to tighten provided that the new cement tax proposed by the Danish government is passed, says MD Jakob Winther Knudsen of Tinglev Elementfabrik A/S. Competition is expected to put pressure on prices, he adds. Tinglev Elementfabrik A/S is the leading supplier of concrete panels on the Danish market. Two years ago it took a new factory near Berlin into operation. Tinglev is to start production at a new plant in Tinglev in February 2002, which is to produce concrete used for storey partition. Winther Knudsen says the company is planning expansion.
