STUART JOHNSON, PHOENIX CURB MACHINES Vision Accomplished: How Phoenix Curb Machines Transform Contractor Sales and Profits Stuart Johnson President, Phoenix Curb Machines Stu Johnson has been in construction and manufacturing-related industries for more than 30 years. He has owned, managed, and operated real estate development and home building businesses, directed operations for industrial tool manufacturers and built marketing, sales and distribution businesses. Johnson’s experience with residential development showed him how costly hand-forming curb and sidewalk was. Building a team with Ed Taylor and experienced professionals was the launching point for Phoenix Curb Machines. Transforming the concrete curbing industry with innovation is the mission. Call him the “Edison of Curb Machines.” Nearly every innovation in automated curb-making, from their invention more than 40 years ago through today’s latest groundbreaking advances, can be traced to a single engineering genius: Ed Taylor. Today Ed has teamed-up with Phoenix Curb Machines to offer contractors a new breed of curb machines that are: • Easily transported by a standard one-ton pick-up truck and trailer • Easily setup at the jobsite; easily cleaned and loaded when finished • Easily operated to deliver great, highly profitable curbing fast Ed’s three signature machines—the Phoenix 3300 Slipform Curber, PCM 6500, and top of the line PCM 7500—have rewritten the book on automated curb-making. Here’s what Stu Johnson, president and principal of Phoenix Curb Machines, says about the breakthrough curbers: ? There are several companies that manufacture curb machines, some even bearing Ed Taylor’s imprint. What makes Phoenix Curb Machines different? Four years ago a group of us got together with Ed for the sole purpose of taking his best ideas to the next level. Ed has a very clear vision of what his fellow contractors wanted—curb machines that were easy to move from jobsite to jobsite, set up quickly, and delivers quality curb work fast. So, we banded together and created Phoenix Curb Machines to help Ed realize that vision. ? What are contractors saying? The word is quickly getting out. We have many very happy customers. For example, Guillermo Siller of HESI Construction in San Antonio, Texas, expanded his concrete specialty services with our PCM 3300. He says, “Ease of transport and ease of use is what we needed. We move this machine with a pickup truck, set up in under an hour and cleanup even faster…and the curbs look great! The PCM 3300 truly delivers.” He told us the machine paid for itself within nine months. He claims to net about $8 a linear foot and has poured over 20,000 linear feet this year. He’s delighted with his 3300 and says he is coming to the 2015 World of Concrete to buy the PCM 3300’s big brother, the PCM 7500. Produced by Hanley Wood Strategic Marketing Services Group sms.hanleywood.com This is exactly the vision Ed had for our curb machines. They’re not just a better product, they’re transformative. We’re changing the way concrete contractors go to business. Our customers are making more money using our curbing machines. It’s a lot of fun to be a part of this. ? What options do contractors have when considering your curb machines? Our PCM 3300 is designed as an entry-level machine or, for larger curbing contractors for light-duty or limited-access curb work. Most lease the machines. The PCM 7500 and PCM 6500 do just about everything the giant curbing machines do but at about two-thirds the price. They pour at up to 50 feet/minute. The difference between the PCM 7500 and PCM 6500 is the patented curbside trimming auger on the PCM 7500. All of our machines are simple to operate. Even so, each one includes days of personal, expert instruction. We’re introducing a number of exciting new innovations for 2015. Watch for more details at the 2015 World of Concrete. ?
