Ballut Blocks is this year marking its 65th anniversary. Driven by the original beliefs instilled by its founders who came from the challenging business of agriculture in 1950, the company introduced innovative construction systems over the years.

It was involved in groundbreaking infrastructure projects such as the Malta International Airport runway, the Kordin Grain Terminal, the multilevel intersection at Tal-Qroqq, the Flood Relief Project in Qormi, and City Gate project in Valletta.

In order to further reinforce its position as one of the principal manufacturers of construction blocks, Ballut Blocks has recently invested in a modern concrete block manufacturing plant that is capable of producing 2,000 blocks per hour.

Fully computerised and automated, this plant is also capable of producing concrete paving blocks.

Ambitious plans are in hand to invest further in modern construction technologies.

Asked about the company’s secret for overcoming the challenges that invariably come with the test of time, managing director Paul Vella said: “It’s about Ballut Blocks’ ability to reinvent and adapt itself.

“This, coupled with a strong work ethic and a loyal workforce, is absolutely vital to any company aiming to achieve its goals.”
