The conference and exhibition offer a timely business platform for industry professionals and government officials to meet, network and exchange information. The conference will highlight several key areas. On 24 October the topics for discussion will be the current situation and outlook for the concrete supply chain, and the all-important issue of sustainability. On 25 October the topic will be how to improve earthquake-proof construction.
Economic growth in South East Asia continues to increase and outperform other regions of the world. Indonesia alone is projected to achieve over 6% growth in 2013. This is accelerating the growth of property and infrastructure development in the region and is fueling high demand for construction materials for development projects.
This conference marks the first time ever that a symposium dedicated to issues concerning the concrete industry, from both a technology and a business perspective, is being held in South East Asia. The conference features a line-up of high profile speakers who are among the most influential experts in the industry, offering fresh insights into the latest issues and trends.
One of the highlights of the first day will be a presentation by Mr. Florian Klouda, Director, Penetron International Ltd., on the durability of concrete. Regarding his presentation, Mr. Kouda commented, "Structural failures due to concrete deterioration, sustainable use of building materials and new construction financing models have laid a new emphasis on concrete durability. In this presentation we want to discuss the main reasons for concrete deterioration and ways to prevent them using permeability-reducing materials."
The three-day exhibition will provide an ideal opportunity for direct interaction and experience with the latest available technologies and solutions for the concrete industry. The event will bring together buyers and suppliers of a full range of concrete and construction products and services, and a vast amount of enhanced industry knowledge.
Commenting on the event, Mr. Christopher Eve, Senior Vice President of UBM Asia Ltd., said, "The Concrete Show was first held in Brazil and over the years has played an important role in the fast expanding concrete markets of South America. Following the success of the event in that region, UBM is confident to now bring it to over Southeast Asia. Choosing Indonesia as the host country makes perfect sense given the rapid growth of the property and infrastructure sectors here in Indonesia and the surrounding region. I expect that the show will act as a catalyst in stimulating market growth and technological development."
Participating in Concrete Show South East Asia 2013 are almost 100 major corporations from 15 countries including Indonesia, Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, South Africa, Canada, USA, Malaysia, Japan and China. WikaBeton, Adhimix Precast, Toyota Kohki, Rimac, Penetron, BASF, Spancrete are just some of the leading names to be found on the exhibition floor.
