Kraftur 9th Year Anniversary
The joy of a business formed over a Christmas break 9 years ago is that every year we enjoy a well-earned break and celebrate another successful year in business.
Honouring an Industry Legacy
2023 Saw Kraftur® founding partner Andrew Tessmann retiring from the industry. With nearly 4 decades in the game, Andrew has been a pillar in the concreting industry. Andrew has a strong story of grit and commitment riding the highs and lows of the tough concrete trade construction industry. It’s been an honour for Kraftur® to rise with Andrew and see him retire from the industry with pride.
Arrow Sharp with McNab at POB
2023 we celebrated a 10-Project Milestone over 3 years with McNAB completing the Arrow Project at the Port of Brisbane! In the 3 years, We’ve placed an impressive 210,000m2 of concrete at the port, including warehouses, container pavements, driveways, workshops, and offices.
Kraftur® is proud of how we’ve minimised the physical strain from hard manual screeding on these onerous projects with our investment in equipment. We’ve negotiated no pours on every Kraftur®’s RDO calendar day, guaranteeing our hardworking crew get a well-deserved break. We’ve prioritised fair compensation for our team working family-unfriendly night shifts through dedicated budget negotiations ensuring people who work night shifts receive the correct rates, empowering them with extra cash for themselves and their loved ones.
