While an economic recovery in the construction industry may still be several months away, there was a renewed sense of optimism on the trade show floor during The Precast Show 2011 in Charlotte, N.C., Jan. 27-29. Trade show attendance topped 2,600.
Both exhibitors and precast plant owners reported rising expectations for increased business during the second half of the year, according to the National Precast Concrete Association. The NPCA sponsored the trade show with the American Concrete Pipe Association.
The Precast Show 2012 will be held March 1-3 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla., and will include the National Concrete Masonry Association as a co-sponsor.
