Global leaders in concrete block and paver production systems, supported across the UK and Ireland by SRS Machinery Services.
Founded in 1948 and operating in over 80 countries, Hess Group is the world's leading manufacturer of concrete block and paver production systems. Its MULTIMAT technology defines industry benchmarks for output, dimensional accuracy and reliability. SRS Machinery Services represents Hess Group across the UK and Ireland, supporting specification, installation and aftersales service.
Concrete Block and Paving
High-performance concrete block and paver production machines delivering consistent output, precision and reliability in demanding environments.
The MULTIMAT range covers the full spectrum of concrete block and paver machinery, from the RH 500 to the RH 2000-4. Combining advanced hydraulics, CNC-controlled axis movement and oil-bath vibration technology, these systems deliver consistent cycle times and precise dimensional control across blocks, pavers, kerbstones and hollow sections. SRS Machinery Services supports UK and Ireland producers in specifying and implementing the full MULTIMAT range.
Handling
Automated handling systems designed to maintain continuous production flow and maximise throughput across the entire manufacturing process.
Hess handling systems manage product transfer from wet side through curing to final stacking, synchronising each stage precisely with machine output. Wet and dry side cycle times are harmonised across a full range of product formats, reducing manual intervention, lowering unit cost and maximising finished output. SRS Machinery Services supports the specification and installation of Hess handling systems across the UK and Ireland.
Surface Finishing
Advanced surface treatment systems that enhance product appearance, increase commercial value and expand architectural concrete ranges.
Hess surface treatment technology enables producers to create premium concrete products through tumbling, shot blasting and splitting processes. These systems deliver high-quality finishes that meet growing architectural and landscaping demand and improve product differentiation. SRS Machinery Services supports UK and Ireland customers in specifying and implementing Hess surface finishing solutions.
Inline QC
Real-time inline quality control using AI and 3D scanning to ensure consistent product accuracy without slowing production.
Hess Inline QC inspects every concrete block immediately after shaping using high-resolution cameras, 3D scanners and AI-supported evaluation. With height accuracy to 0.5mm and defect detection from 1mm², it identifies cracks, lift-offs and surface defects in real time, enabling immediate process adjustments and reducing reject rates. SRS Machinery Services supports deployment and aftersales service across the UK and Ireland.
