In early May, West China Cement (WCC) representatives led by CEO Tian Zhenjun and Vice CEO Wang Jianli visited Italcementi's new i.lab at its Calusco cement plant in Bergamo, Italy.

Accompanied by Federico Vitaletti, CEO of Italcementi's Innovation and Research Center, and Girolamo Veronese, Global Marketing Director, WCC representatives visited the facility to further deepen its cooperation with the the Italcementi Group in the fields of energy conservation and environmental protection, technical innovation, operational management and security management.

Last year, Italcementi acquired a 6.25 per cent share in West China Cement to become the company's third largest shareholder.  Under the agreement Italcementi sold its Shaanxi Fuping Cement Company, which also owns 35 percent of Shifeng Cement, to WCC.
