Our History

    ProGrind is established and the family start developing and introducing polished concrete in Australia.

  • Developing a Grinding Machine

    1999

    Developing a Grinding Machine

    Frustrated with their underperforming grinding machine, the Van der Veens developed and built their first planetary grinder prototype to achieve never-before-experienced power and industry-leading performance. This included the creation of Dual-Drive technology, to get complete control of their planetary head.

  • Welcome King Concepts

    2000

    Welcome King Concepts

    Word spreads about the new machine’s performance and other contractors start wanting their own. High demand leads to the birth of King Concepts.

  • King Concepts gets Acquired

    2007

    King Concepts gets Acquired

    Husqvarna acquires King Concepts. Tim, Josh and other King Concept members relocate across Europe, USA, and Asia as part of the acquisition.

our customer

We have the privilege of working with a variety of flooring and concrete grinding and polishing contractors on a global scale. From large-scale professional operations smashing out large commercial, retail, and high-end builds, to single operators working on small-scale residential projects, to everyone in between!

Starting off as contractors in the flooring trade and being part of polished concrete's inception in Australia, we know all too well the challenges and difficulties contractors are faced with day-to-day at an operational level and their business backend.

WORX+ is here to partner with contractors and offer them Total Support to help them boost their flooring and business outcomes.
