Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

Precast concrete element manufacturers from all over the world met at the SAIE in Bologna, Italy, from 5 - 8 October 2011, in order to gather information both at the extensive SAIE PRECAST exhibition and in the accompanying ICCX Europe conference programme. The SAIE is Italy’s largest trade fair for construction, the building industry and architecture. This year around 85,000 trade visitors, 5,000 of them from foreign countries, came to Bologna to make contact with more than 1,000 exhibiting companies and to gather information. Technical lectures were offered through the cooperation with ICCX under the brand name ‘ICCX Europe’ and, in the context of TIPAS (The International Precast Associations’ Summit), the leading concrete and precast associations were able to discuss possible cooperations as well as optimisation strategies for their association work.
