World of Concrete is the industry’s only annual international event dedicated to the commercial concrete and masonry construction industries showcasing leading industry suppliers featuring innovative products, construction machinery, construction equipment, safety training courses, new technologies and unlimited networking opportunities to give you new ways to sustain and grow your business.
World of Concrete 2017 (WOC 2017) provided exhibitors with a hugely successful platform to start the year off strong, packing the show floor with qualified industry-related attendees, ready to make purchasing decisions on the latest equipment, products, and technologies available. Many exhibitors commented WOC 2017 was one of the best shows in recent memory, resulting in a 73% rebook on booth space for WOC 2018.
Diamond Products directors, Brian Clark and Darryl Gray attended WOC 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. After 32 hours of traveling, they eventually arrived at the 4000 room Westgate Hotel and Casino. Elvis Presley played 500 sell out shows at this venue.
WOC 2017 had 400 000 pre-registered attendees. The show is held in 4 massive exhibition halls and also has two outside demo areas. New opportunities and innovative ideas were waiting to be explored by attendees from all over the globe.
After walking for days (and several kilometres), both Brian and Darryl were excited to return back home with new ideas and utilizing the Americans’ footprint on using the Blastrac equipment to branch out even more extensively into floor preparation in South Africa.
Diamond Products has seen quite a big growth in hard floor preparation. One of the elements is polished concrete for commercial and residential buildings.
In the USA and Europe equipment suppliers like ourselves work very closely with Architects and Property Developers. We are planning to bring an expert out from Blastrac USA to present on polished concrete. Watch this space…
