Italcementi at SAIE 2013 International building exhibition

Bologna, October 16 – 19

Italcementi will participate at SAIE 2013 trade show: a confident choice to tackle the crisis in the building construction sector.

Italcementi will participate in the 49th edition of the SAIE Building Innovation Exhibition, the major exhibition in the building construction sector: machines, technologies, materials and services, which will be held in Bologna from 16 to 19 October 2013.

A counter-cultural choice, that of Italcementi, when compared to the current construction sector scenario, aiming at presenting market operators with the performances of its new products, which result from multidisciplinary research and innovation programs.

The presence of Italcementi at SAIE will also be an opportunity of open dialog with all market players about the future of a material―cement―that has a long tradition and in recent years has been constantly under development in terms of innovative solutions for all sectors within the building industry: thermal and acoustic insulation, fire resistance, mechanical strength, durability and sustainability. Cement remains the safest, most reliable and economical building material, and is now also able to offer innovative high-tech performances.

Both traditional qualities and innovative performances offered by Italcementi will be at the heart of the Group’s presence at the Bologna trade show.

Federbeton, first time at SAIE
“It’s the first time that the cement production chain industry participates in the SAIE. It’s an important signal for the whole construction sector at a time, when cement-based materials are required performances other than those we were used to―said Sergio Crippa, President of Federbeton,―nowadays, those who buy, renovate or inhabits a new house calls for heat insulation, earthquake-resistant properties, acoustic insulation, living conveniences and durability. And the Federbeton companies are deeply engaged in the development of materials meeting the needs of citizens and the market. In addition, reinterpreting cement as a material capable of innovative and ecological performances which can respond to the new market demands is a courageous way of tackling the crisis.
