World of Concrete | China--World of Concrete Trade Show ends With More Exhibitors from China

The four-day World of Concrete trade show ended Friday in Las Vegas with more exhibitors from China with new technology and products showcased from the world.

Sany Group from China attracted many attendees with a huge showroom and live demonstration of its products. It claims to be the world's largest manufacturer of concrete pumps. It has several offices in China and an office in Atlanta.

At the show, Sany offered eight models in the U.S. market. The latest generation of Sany dual wall delivery pipe provides greater resistance.

Sany said its pumps provide high efficiency and feature specially designed wear components for long service life.

At least 7 other Chinese companies in the field of construction have also sent their products for display at the show. The seven companies formed a unified showroom called "China" which not only shows the presence of more Chinese companies in the World of Concrete show, but also their low priced and high quality products.

The field of construction equipment is traditionally dominated by U.S. companies. Chinese manufacturers usually could only manufacture parts for U.S. companies. However, the heavy duty equipment like pumps demonstrated by Sany marked the change of the industry.

It is the 37th World of Concrete convention and also the first time so many exhibitors and attendees from China have been seen at the world class construction show.

The 2011 World of Concrete show features several new and exciting areas such as the new Concrete Surfaces & Decorative Pavilion that included the ninth annual Artistry & Decorative Concrete, Decorative Tool Demonstrations, Concrete Polishing Demonstration Area and more.

New, green energy is also the topic at the show. The special two-hour New Technologies for Greenhouse Gas & Fuel Economy Regulation Compliance seminar provided up-to-date information on how to save energy and what the new regulations are.

Construction is a very important part in the U.S. economy. But experts at the show predicted that the growth in construction is very slow or no growth until 2013.

Ed Sullivan, chief economist of the Portland Cement Association, said the economic momentum that gathered steam during the early part of 2010 ebbed as consumer and business confidence waned, impacting consumer spending, investing and lending.
