UNIK Delivers 1,200th Cement Paver Mould of the Year – Focus Remains on Precision Heat Treatment
Quanzhou, China – May 11, 2026 – Fujian Unik Mould Technology Co., Ltd. has announced the delivery of its 1,200th cement paver mould of the year, marking continued growth in export demand for the company's precision tooling products. The milestone mould was shipped to a long-term customer in Southeast Asia as part of a repeat order for interlocking paver production lines.
The 1,200th unit reflects steady year-over-year growth in UNIK's mould manufacturing output. The company attributes this increase to sustained demand from brick plants and infrastructure contractors across its 28 export markets, particularly in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
Precision Heat Treatment as Core Competency
UNIK has maintained focus on carburizing heat treatment as a distinguishing feature of its steel moulds. Each cement paver mould undergoes a controlled carburizing process that hardens the surface layer to HRC58-62 while preserving core toughness at HRC35-40. This combination provides wear resistance on cavity surfaces and impact absorption in the base structure.
"Heat treatment is not an optional upgrade in our production process. It is the standard," said a UNIK production manager. "The 1,200th mould leaving our shop carries the same heat treatment specifications as the first mould we made this year. Consistency across volume is what our customers pay for."
Manufacturing Capacity and Quality Control
UNIK operates a range of CNC machining centers, wire-cutting equipment, and vacuum heat treatment furnaces at its Quanzhou facility. The company maintains in-process dimensional checks and final inspection protocols that include hardness testing, flatness measurement, and mounting hole alignment verification.
The cement paver moulds produced by UNIK feature:
Steel grade – 42CrMo for base plates and wear sleeves; Mn18 for cavity shells in high-wear applications
Surface finish – Ra 1.6 or better for clean demolding
Draft angle – 1.5 degrees per side for smooth paver ejection
Corner radius – 3-5mm to prevent stress cracking
Expected lifespan – 80,000 to 100,000 cycles under normal production conditions
Export Growth Across Multiple Regions
UNIK was founded in Quanzhou, Fujian Province in 2010. The company has since exported to 28 countries, serving brick plants, precast concrete manufacturers, and infrastructure contractors. In 2026, UNIK has seen particular growth in orders from:
Southeast Asia – Repeat orders from the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam for interlocking paver moulds
East Africa – First-time orders from Kenya and Tanzania for rectangular and hexagonal paver moulds
Middle East – Increased demand for heavy-duty paver moulds capable of handling abrasive concrete mixes
Customer Response
A procurement manager from a Philippine brick plant that has placed multiple UNIK orders commented: "The difference we saw was in cycle life. Previous suppliers' moulds showed edge wear at 25,000 cycles. UNIK moulds from the same production period are still running at 85,000 cycles with acceptable tolerance. The heat treatment makes a measurable difference."
Industry Context
The cement paver mould market has seen increased demand for larger-format pavers and textured surface finishes. UNIK has responded by expanding its CNC engraving capability for custom patterns and its gantry machining capacity for mould plates exceeding 1,200mm in length.
The company also recently introduced modular paver mould designs that allow customers to change cavity sizes by replacing inserts rather than purchasing entirely new moulds. This option is available for customers with regular size changeovers.
