I need to find a concrete slab in the size around 1500x2000x100 mm, so pretty big chunks. It should be solid and without insulation or such inside. It can be with or without reinforcement.
Of course, it is possible to have one cast to measure, but it will be very expensive compared to if there are standard elements in this size (or similar, the measurements are approximate).
Does anyone know where to find such? I live in Lund/Skåne but in the worst case, it can be transported a bit further.

750kg each... but you probably already knew that. Substantial things to handle, in other words.
I could calculate an approximate price of what you might expect it to cost to order from a prefab supplier, but for that, I need to know how many slabs you need.

By coincidence, I also live in Lund and am on the hunt for large concrete slabs, so I’m reviving this thread...
However, I don’t need slabs as large as the OP since I’m just covering light wells outside two newly installed basement windows. What's the largest size available in standard gray "municipal slabs"? The light wells are 60 cm deep, so slabs measuring 70 cm on one side would work. Like 50x70 slabs placed on their edge.
Or perhaps some other fun ideas and tips concerning basement window wells?

Make them yourself?
You need a mold in the right size.
For that, you'll need a piece of plywood or similar, and about 3 meters of 95X45 beams.
Then, you pour in 35 liters of concrete and you can add a reinforcement mesh.
The concrete is easiest to manage by buying pre-mixed bags like "gjuta grov" from Byggmax.
Should cost around 150-250 SEK per "slab" (including the mold).

Well, after a number of foundation slabs, house, garage, and hangar floors, I'm quite familiar with casting. And precisely all this casting makes me prefer to buy ready-made... 
But I'm more inclined to build a form and cast on site in that case.
