sustainability and competitiveness in concrete market.key players meet to face the challenge.
After 26 years, Italy will once again be the setting for the ERMCO International Congress, a not-to-be-missed event for people all over the world who have an interest in any aspect of ready-mixed concrete.
Though concrete remains the most used construction material in the world, this position in the market cannot taken for granted if the industry is unable to identify trends and anticipate requests. Even in diffi cult economic times this “looking forward” must continue, especially in the depths of the current recession in the construction industry, whose full effects are being felt exactly now. The situation is diffi cult for everybody, our competitors are moving, and our own market share has to be defended and increased by continuous improvement of the quality of our product and of our services.
To identify the threats and challenges of the situation, the European ready-mixed concrete industry meets in Verona for objective analysis of the ups and downs it is currently called upon to tackle. The meeting is focused on attempts to identify a way ahead to recovery based on a variety of aspects - from the rationalisation of company organisation, to development of added-value products, to the identifi cation of further market openings for concrete, whose multi-faceted nature must be exploited. These themes and comparisons will be discussed by internationally renowned experts and sector representatives.
We are sure Verona in June 2012 will be seen as an important moment for our industry and will also be the occasion to meet again to strengthen old friendships and make new ones.

WELCOME TO THE XVI ErMCO CONGrESS
OrGaNIZErS
ErMCO, EurOPEaN rEady MIXEd CONCrETE OrGaNIZaTION, is the federation of national associations for the ready-mixed concrete industry in europe. in co-operation with other industrial partners of the concrete industry, ermco seek to assist the development and adoption of concrete solutions based on the european codes and standards for the design and execution of concrete structures. ermco represents the ready-mixed concrete industry on cen and other relevant european committees, particularly in the fi elds of standardization, certifi cation and the environment. in response to the demand for industry-led activities, ermco, through its committees activities, is playing a signifi cant role in establishing realistic standards for concrete manufacture quality control and environment protection.
Italian Members are :
aTECaP, Economic-Technical Association of Ready-mixed Concrete. ATECAP is an independent, non-profi t Association based in Rome. ATECAP was founded in 1991 and represents ready-mixed concrete companies in Italy: 250 companies, 750 concrete plants, 5000 workers, 20 million cubic meters produced per years. ATECAP provides a qualifi ed consultancy service to its members and also acts as a hub for information on legal, economic and technical issues that are related to the concrete industry.
and
aNCE, National Association of Builders. ANCE is the National Association of private construction contractors, active in public works, residential and industrial building. It represents 20 Regional Organisations, 102 Provincial Associations and 20,000 Construction Companies of any specialization and dimension. ANCE and its local Associations safeguard the construction industry vis a vis the Government and Parliament, through its lobbying activity. Besides ANCE dialogues with political, social and cultural Institutions.
VErONaFIErE, organizational and logistical partner of the event, is the leading Italian Exhibitions Organizer and one of the major exhibition centers in Europe, with a portfolio of international specialized events including Samoter (International triennial earthmoving and building machinery exhibition), Marmomacc (Exhibition of Stone, design and technology), Vinitaly (the wine world largest event), Agricultural Fair and Horse Fair.

Verona is a city of many layers, where ancient Romans, medieval nobles, Venetian signori, Napoleon, and Austrian Hapsburgs, have woven a rich tapestry of art, architecture, and history throughout its urban fabric. The city’s great appeal lies in the fact that, from its historic centre to the banks of the Adige River, it is both a bustling, modern northern Italian city and a living testament to Verona’s glorious past.
Begin your exploration of Verona in the centrally located Piazza Brà, where the enormous Arena, a Roman amphitheatre from the fi rst century A.D., is located. To this day, the Arena still hosts the 22,000 spectators attending the prestigious, annual opera season held there each summer. Located nearby are the Palazzo Barbieri and Palazzo della Gran Guardia. Along the Liston, an elegant pink marble sidewalk that borders one side of Piazza Brà, and along the Via Mazzini, Verona’s most elegant shopping avenue, the Veronesi enjoy a daily, ritual stroll called the passeggiata. At the end of Via Mazzini sits one of the city’s most famous monuments, Casa di Giulietta, home of Juliet, Shakespeare’s tragic heroine.
A short distance away, on the site of the ancient Roman forum, you will fi nd Piazza delle Erbe, now home to a local market and surrounded by buildings and towers dating from the 12th-17th centuries. The Madonna Verona, a fountain found in its centre, is a
symbol of the city. Passing underneath an unusual archway (a large rib hangs down from its main arch) you enter Piazza dei Signori, the former seat of the medieval Scaligier reign (the della Scala family palace is found at one end of the piazza). Adjacent, you will see the beautiful Arche Scaligere, sepulchral monuments of Cangrande della Scala and his family.The characteristic via Sottoriva takes you to the banks of the Adige and the church of Sant’ Anastasia, a repository of medieval and Renaissance works of art. On the other side of the river, just across the Roman bridge Ponte Pietra, rises the Teatro Romano, the Roman theatre. Continuing further along the river embankment, you will come upon Verona’s cathedral, the Duomo, whose harmonious Gothic interior complements the priceless altarpiece by Titian located inside.
The wide loop of the river that encloses the historical city centre ends at a remarkably well-preserved medieval castle, the Castelvecchio, a 14th century work of the Scaligeri, and home to an important local art museum. Further down the river, the itinerary concludes at the Basilica di San Zeno one of the most beautiful and important Romanesque churches in northern Italy. Masterpieces such as the bronze panels of the main portal and Andrea Mantegna’s triptych found at the high altar are indicative of an important period of artistic fl ourishing in the city.
