2015 World of Concrete Highlights
2015 World of Concrete Highlights
World. Of. Concrete. Maybe this is a show you’ve never heard of or maybe you know that it’s the World Cup or Super Bowl of concrete and masonry innovations over the last year. For those of us in the concrete and masonry industry it’s a can’t miss event. This year didn’t disappoint with the largest show in 6 years.
In seemingly direct proportion to the size of the show there were a ton of new introductions and innovations. We were there for two whole days but it wasn’t nearly enough time to get into depth with all the developments. If you follow us on social media you may have seen a number of the highlights already. We also know that a number of readers don’t participate in social media so here is your chance to catch up on all the happenings. The post is a little long but it has all of our twitter updates from our time at the 2015 World of Concrete show.
