A turnkey operation, under franchise or joint venture.
We offer a turnkey operation under a straightforward franchise model — and for the right partners and markets, we're also open to joint ventures. Either way, ABS holds your hand through the entire process — from plant setup through to production — until your team is fully confident and competent running the business.
A manufacturing business, not just a product licence.
Franchise or joint venture
Not every partner wants the same structure — alongside our standard franchise model, we're open to joint ventures with the right partners in the right markets.
Proven, patented product
You're not launching an unknown product — ABS Blocks are laboratory tested with earthquake and cyclone ratings, and proven demand in disaster-prone and cost-sensitive markets alike.
Turnkey plant setup
From land and utility requirements through equipment, shed design, and commissioning — we specify and support the full manufacturing setup.
Full training & handover
Your operating team is trained hands-on until confident and competent, covering production, quality control, and machine maintenance.
Lean operating model
A typical plant runs with just 4 workers, producing 4,000–6,000+ blocks a day — a lean, high-margin manufacturing operation.
Multiple revenue lines
The same plant produces ABS Blocks, any number of alternative brick profiles, and paving bricks — doubling output potential on the paving line.
Ongoing ABS support
As part of the ABS network, franchisees get continued access to technical guidance, engineering drawings, and product development.
From enquiry to your first commercial block, in five steps.
Enquiry & discussion
Tell us about your market, land, and capital position — we'll assess fit and answer your questions.
Feasibility & plant sizing
We size the right plant for your target output and budget, and walk you through land and utility requirements.
Agreement & setup
Once terms are agreed, equipment is specified, ordered, and your shed and slab preparation begins.
Installation & training
ABS oversees installation and commissioning, then trains your 4-person crew until they're fully competent.
Go live & ongoing support
Your plant begins production, backed by continued ABS technical and business support.
A lean setup with real production capacity.
A standard ABS plant needs 30,000–40,000 sq ft of land, water and 3-phase power, a concrete machine slab, and a covered shed — operated by a crew of just four. That's it.

"We hold your hand through the whole process."
That's not a slogan — it's the franchise model. ABS supports partners from initial feasibility through plant commissioning and team training, staying involved until your operation is fully confident and competent, and remaining available for ongoing technical and business support afterward.
