Maltby Engineering Company was founded in the early 1970's arising from the demands of the Contractors who were at the time constructing what was then the new M18 & M1 motorways.

Initially repairing and maintaining all types of major construction equipment from his small workshop, the Groups founder Arnie Charlesworth's inventive mind was intrigued by the asphalt kerbing machine to which he was constantly called out to repair.

He quickly realised the modifications that could be made to this small machine to improve efficiency and performance and from this he built his own version of the kerbing machine.

His early extrusion machines were built for sale. However, very quickly the opportunity to carry out the kerb extrusion works on behalf of the main project contractor arose.

Expansion forced the company to move from it's original site at Maltby to a new development at Denaby some 10 miles away and a separate sub-contract construction company, Extrudakerb (Maltby Engineering) Limited was founded in 1977.

The company grew from strength to strength and soon almost all major contractors and asphalt surfacing companies had mothballed their own extrusion machines and elected to employ Extrudakerb as a specialist sub-contractor.

Now, for more than 30 years extruded asphalt kerb has been the most prolific type of kerb along the UK’s motorway and trunk road network.

Virtually maintenance-free, it is the kerb system of choice for the majority of our principal national clients, designers and contractors.

In 1989 an enquiry was received for the "extrusion" of some 14km of concrete kerb from an existing asphalt kerbing customer who thought that the asphalt kerbing machine could be simply modified to accommodate concrete kerb. This was not the case but the entrepreneurial Arnie Charlesworth knew of the existence of slipform kerbing machines in the United States of America.

He boarded a plane and within a week had ordered the company's first slipform paver. The machine arrived and was put to work slipforming a guide rail for a conventional fixed form concrete road train on one of the five sections of the M40 motorway extension from Birmingham to Oxford.

Business developed and similar and larger slipform paving machines were purchased.

The company became and remains the largest specialist slipform paving company in the United Kingdom. Extrudakerb’s own fabrication division supports all on site construction operations and produces bespoke moulds and other associated equipment to meet the customer’s exact requirements.

Slipform concrete pavers are used to undertake a variety of sub-contract works including the construction of concrete barrier, concrete drainage channel, concrete slot drain and concrete slab paving.

Aside from Extrudakerb's construction activities Maltby Engineering Company holds many Patents for specialist road making equipment including the latest generation asphalt kerbing machine and slot drain designs.

The company now works outside the U.K. with successful projects completed in Ireland, France and Malta. Offices have been opened in Gdansk, Poland from where Extrudakerb operate with a local workforce focused upon the needs of this up and coming new marketplace.
