Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

The Precast Show 2014 returned to Houston, Texas, Feb. 13-15, for three days of exhibits, education, meetings and special events. Nearly 3,000 precast industry manufacturers and suppliers experienced a trade show floor that buzzed with optimism that the steep recession in construction was over and better times were ahead. When The Precast Show had its debut in Houston in 2009, most of North America was mired in an economic downturn in which many construction-related businesses lost up to 40% of their revenues. Five years later the recovery appears to be solidly underway, though some regions of the country are slower to rebound than others.
