SHANGHAI, Nov. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM in association with the China Chamber of Commerce for Metals, Mineral and Chemicals Importers and Exporters (CCCMC) is delighted to announce the launch of Concrete Show China which will take place from 26-28 June 2013 at Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Centre.

Concrete Show China will provide the perfect platform to meet and network with industry professionals during three days in a dynamic and focused business environment.

Together, these will present a powerful opportunity to build essential business contacts and networks.

"Concrete plays an important role in the Chinese building materials market. By learning from the international concrete industry and by promoting the Chinese bulk cement, precast concrete and mortar industries we can help build an energy-saving and eco-friendly society. It is the right time for CCCMC and UBM to introduce the world-renowned Concrete Show to China. I wish the show great success," said Yu Yi, Vice President, CCCMC.

"We all have seen the advances achieved in the concrete construction industry in China in the last five years. 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," added Margaret Connolly, Managing Director, UBM China (Shanghai).
