A Concrete Screed Tool That’s American Made by Someone Who Knows Concrete
Posted by alibabarika in Business News on November 1, 2010
Over the past 25 years it seems that the quality of almost everything we buy has gone down the drain. Everything thing from water heaters to power tools are only meant to last for a few years before they are replaced by a new one. Gone are the days where tools and equipment lasted for decades and were repaired when a small malfunction occurred. That’s why it’s refreshing when I run across a company that is doing it right, building a high quality product that is highly functional and built from the prospective of the customer.
The new Lightning Strike Concrete Screed is one such product, being built in Fargo, ND by Dennis Lura a former Independent Contractor and founder of Lura Enterprises. After two years of designing and field testing the Lightning Strike became available to local contractors. Nearly 35 different contractors within a 100 mile radius of Fargo have already purchased over 60 units making it one of the most successful construction innovations in the upper Midwest.

Concrete blocks and other concrete products are in demand everywhere. When you make these products you have indeed a business with a strong foundation.

You are not making a here today gone tomorrow item. If you manufacture cement blocks your product is always in demand. You will find buyers everywhere in North America and in fact around the world.
Concrete products are heavy and transportation costs, to distant destinations, are high. For this reason a local manufacturer has a great advantage over someone further away. Savings in transportation costs translate into very competitive pricing. If in addition you are a small one man operation, working from your garage, you have no staff to pay and no rent for your premises. You can have lower priced products than your competitors and still do very well.
