Industry professionals from over 30 countries gathered for the 13th Cemtech Middle East & Africa 2018 conference and exhibition, held between 17-20 February at the JW Marriott Marquis hotel in Dubai, UAE.
Opening this year’s Cemtech MEA conference, Thomas Armstrong, managing editor of International Cement Review, welcomed over 200 delegates to Dubai. In his presentation, he observed how global overcapacity is driving competition between producers by encouraging smart investment in cost-reducing technology and optimisation initiatives. Alongside this, he noted how the programme for the event would address important developmental issues in the industry such as the significance of alternative fuels (AFs) and raw materials.
