Since its establishment in 2008, 3A Steel has been at the forefront of metal fabrication, initially offering laser cutting, bending, and robot welding for steel products to serve both the local market and the European Union. Our dedication to precision and innovation soon led to the next stage of our journey.
Pioneering Concrete Block Moulds
In 2009, we shifted our focus to the design and production of specialized metal moulds for casting Lego®-like concrete blocks. These moulds revolutionized the construction industry, offering flexibility and a wide range of block shapes and sizes, making them ideal for numerous project applications. With these moulds, contractors gained the ability to create mobile, interlocking concrete blocks, which paved the way for efficient and versatile construction solutions
Expanding to the American Market
Fast-forward to the end of 2021, when 3A Steel reached another important milestone: the development of moulds in inch sizes for the American market. This expansion under our 3A Block brand has allowed us to meet the growing demand for innovative concrete block moulds across the globe. Our production facility in Europe spans 5,000 square meters and is outfitted with the latest technology, including Trumpf laser cutting machines, Fanuc and Yaskawa welding robots, and an automated powder coating line from Swiss company Gema. This allows us to deliver high-quality products through a fully integrated manufacturing process.
Constant Innovation in Mould Design
Over the years, we've continuously improved our mould designs based on real-world performance and customer feedback. Early on, we discovered that 10mm steel strips, initially used to hold moulds together, lacked the necessary strength and added unnecessary weight. To address this, we transitioned to profiles with varying thicknesses and configurations, significantly enhancing both strength and durability without compromising on weight. Additionally, we learned that thin welds, despite good penetration, weren't sufficient for the structural integrity required for our moulds. The welds in these moulds act like a retaining wall, and by ensuring a strong, wide base and the ability to resist perpendicular forces, we've vastly improved the overall strength and stability of our products. Growing Product Line and Accessories Starting with just one mould model, we now offer over 120 different mould variants, along with an ever-growing range of accessories designed to increase the flexibility and customization options available to our clients. Whether you're creating sloped blocks, stair-shaped blocks, or other customized shapes, we have the moulds and accessories to bring your ideas to life.
