In September, our long time international master distributor Ancon Beton, based in Adelaide, Australia, ceased operations upon the retirement of its founder, Mr. Ian Burnett.

As a result of Ancon’s closure, AEC has partnered with Chris Keen (a former AEC Associate) to establish a new international master distributor of Allen Equipment for Australia and Southeast Asia. This new distributor is called Premier Concrete Equipment Pty. Ltd. (PCE). PCE will also promote and sell Somero Laser Screeds into Southeast Asia.

PCE will be based in Brisbane, Australia and will be led by Chris Keen along with a team of concrete equipment professionals previously with Ancon Beton. PCE will manage the promotion, education, and sales of Allen equipment in Australia and Southeast Asia. PCE looks forward to becoming a provider of top of the line concrete placing, finish, polishing and paving equipment for concrete contractors across the region.
