Cambodia’s large-scale investment in infrastructure development, particularly on road construction, has attracted global asphalt mixing plant brands to the country, including Speco from Korea.

Established in 1979, Speco is a top Korean manufacturer of asphalt mixing plants, which are key equipment in road construction. Speco has supplied its quality-proven plants to over 2,500 projects in 50 countries worldwide.

Initially only producing asphalt mixing plants, Speco’s core business has expanded to include concrete plants, crusher plants, and wind power generators.

Cambodia’s stable economic growth, open business environment for foreigners, undeveloped infrastructure, and booming construction industry led Speco to enter this high-potential market, said Kim Jin Kyong, Speco Vice President for Sales and Business Operations. “Our strategic plan in Cambodia is to gain trust in our products, promote our brand, and receive/offer prompt feedback to meet our customer’s needs.”

Speco offers three types of asphalt mixing plants with different features that cater for users’ varying needs. While its stationary plants enable users to stably operate highly efficient plants on their local road construction sites, the mobile plants are designed not only to fully maximise ‘mobility’ but also to fully automate the process from drying, mixing, and discharging aggregates which can save a lot of time on transporting the plants from one site to another. Its recycling plants can mix together waste with new materials after heating it up and offer the opportunity not only to save on production costs but also to minimise impacts on the environment.

Compared to other brands on the market, Speco plants are based on innovative mixer technology that increases overall productivity by up to 20 percent, depending on the mixture design, while it can also reduce maintenance costs by 20 percent.

Unlike other conventional dryers with irregular inner flight designs, Speco dryer uses a complete aggregate curtain to maximize heating efficiency. Its low noise burner utilizes a trochoid pump using a low pressure of 10kg/cm(2) to reduce noise, and, with compressed air supply, complete combustion can be achieved as usual.

Here, in Cambodia Speco’s main target customers are constructors working on infrastructure projects, and any companies interested in asphalt mixing plants, concrete batcher plants, and crushing plants. “Speco’s long established reputation along with the consistent effort on Research and Development (R&D) pushed by a highly committed team of staff enables us to enter into global infrastructure projects and to contribute to the development of worldwide road construction through our plant supply to local road construction sites as well as to major overseas road construction companies,” said Mr. Kim said.

“Our goal is becoming the world’s top manufacturer by supplying the best quality products along with our lavish investment into consistent R&D,” he added.

With its Eumseong manufacturing facility in Korea, the world’s largest asphalt plant factory at 200,000 sqm and its progressive high technology innovation, Speco has set a vision to firmly maintain its Number 1 rank in Korea’s road-construction plant business and to be one of the global leading manufacturers of asphalt mixing plant and other related plant?.
