️️️Stop Tipping Cash into Skips: How Fibo Collect is Revolutionising Your Concrete, Mortar and Screed Supply

We know your time is money, and we know that dealing with concrete, screed and mortar is often the messiest, most wasteful bit of any job. That’s why we introduced the efficicent Fibo Collect system in here at Cartmore Lochgelly, the first in Scotland – it’s a proper game-changer.

We’re not just selling you products; we’re selling you efficiency, and it all comes down to stopping you from throwing money away.

The Madness of the Status Quo

Let’s face facts: the way we’ve done it for years is a little crazy. The traditional way of getting your mix means you’re almost guaranteed to waste both material and time:

• Big Orders, Big Waste of money: If you are a developer and have a big job- forget about silos get your mortar requirements delivered daily with your chosen retarder. If you have a smaller job- we can still deliver, or you can collect from Lochgelly and there is no need to buy more than you need just to meet a minimum order because our batching quantities starting at 0.25m3. So that means you won’t need a skip to get rid of the extra material!
• The Rush: Once the normal concrete mixer arrives or you start the manual mixing, you’re racing against the clock. If you don’t use it fast enough, it sets hard, and you’ve lost the lot.
• Logistical Headaches: As you can collect material from Lochgelly in under 10 minutes there is no wondering where your delivery is, especially when it’s a small quantity that often means you get fitted in to suit the traditional manufacturer’s needs not yours. Also, as we are set up to batch from 0.25m3 as normal you can also get us to deliver smaller quantities cos that’s the flexibility of Fibo and Cartmore.

We’re talking about cash wasted on material, cash wasted on skip hire, and cash wasted on standing time. It’s a lose-lose situation.

 

✨ Fibo Collect: It’s Like Your Personal, On-Demand Batching Plant

So, what’s the difference? The way we operate our Fibo Collect plant is simple. Come into our office get an invoice and bar code for the material you need- arrive at our Fibo plant within our yard and we scan your bar code and within a couple of minutes the plant starts to discharge your chosen mix- it’s easy!

How Does It Work? 

1. Tell us the Mix: You just select the exact type of concrete, mortar or screed you need from our list of dozens of mixes—it’s all pre-set and guaranteed quality.
2. Take ONLY What You Need: This is the magic part. Instead of a 1m3 minimum, you can order from as little as 0.25m3. If you only need 0.25m3 to finish off a small job, that’s what you get.
3. Instant Dispatch: The machine accurately measures everything—cement, aggregates, sand, chemicals, and the water—mixes it fresh and dispenses it right into your tub, our tub, your trailer or your pickup in a few minutes.

✅ The Game-Changing Benefits for Your Trade

This change in process gives you massive advantages, especially for small- to medium-sized jobs:

1. You Pay Only for Material Used

Because you can order a tiny, specific amount, – from 0.25m3 you literally have zero material waste. You stop paying for that extra half a m3 of concrete, mortar or screed every week. That’s cash back in your pocket.

2. It’s Perfectly Fresh, Always

When the mix is instant, you get the absolute maximum working time. If you are collecting, we batch your mix for you in front of your eyes so you can see how easy the plant operates and with mortars we can add retarders to stop the material going off so you can use it a couple of days after you bought it! Also, there is computer consistency that you can’t get with a hand batch or a manual mixer batch.

3. Labour is Saved, Not Wasted

You eliminate all the low-value time you; your skilled brickies or landscapers spend on setting up a mixer, breaking bags, mixing, and the worst job—cleaning it all up. They stay focused on the high-value work: actually, laying bricks or paving.
