Lujabetoni is one of the major manufacturers of structural precast elements in Scandinavia. The company, located in Siilinjärvi near Kuopio in Central Finland, has since the 1990 s closely cooperated with Tekla Corporation (Espoo), one of the key pioneers of D (BIM) modeling.

More than 30 representatives of Fib and Cerib made their way from France to the Hämeenlinna plant, located about 70 km of the capital of Helsinki, to obtain a convincing, first-hand impression of the high standard of structural precast element production in Finland. And they were not disappointed. Lujabetoni has been one of the pioneers of 3D (BIM) modeling and IT-supported precast production since the 1990 s.
