Our History

Conplant was established in 1961 specialising in the hire of compaction equipment. Due to the company’s strong service focus and engineering skills it found itself diversifying into general hire, manufacturing, engineering and equipment maintenance and repairs. This strong engineering and service background has become entrenched in Conplant’s culture and remains today.
