UBM Launches Concrete Show China

December 10, 2012

UBM, in association with the China Chamber of Commerce for Metals, Mineral and Chemicals Importers and Exporters (CCCMC), will launch the Concrete Show China, which will take place June 26-28 at Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Centre.

Concrete Show China will bring together buyers and suppliers to experience and interact with a full range of concrete products and services, enhance industry knowledge and engage in ground-breaking discussion, according to UBM officials.

Concrete plays an important role in the Chinese building materials market. CCMC believes that the new show will help build an energy-saving and eco-friendly society as the Chinese bulk cement, precast concrete and mortar industries will be learning from the international concrete industry.

In addition, this also is a perfect time for them to promote themselves to the world market.

"We all have seen the advances achieved in the concrete construction industry in China in the last five years,” said Margaret Connolly, managing director of UBM China (Shanghai).

She added, “Given the growing demand for more sophisticated and innovative products and technology, there is much anticipation for further advancement in the next decade. In addition to UBM's concrete shows in Brazil, India and Indonesia, we are delighted to partner with CCCMC to launch Concrete Show China and provide a world class platform for industry professionals to learn, inspire and collaborate.”

Concrete Show China will be the latest addition to the global Concrete Show portfolio, which includes the Concrete Show South America that took place from Aug. 29-31 in Sao Paulo.

"We've welcomed over 500 exhibitors from 25 countries to the three day event which is now in its 6th edition and is the largest event for this sector in Latin America," said Claudia Godoy, managing director of UBM Sienna.

Concrete Show South East Asia will take place Oct. 24-26 at the Jakarta International Expo in Indonesia and Concrete Show India will take place March 13-15, 2014, in Mumbai.

The shows will feature outdoor machinery display, as well as practical product information in a highly interactive environment, according to UBM officials.
