World of Concrete Asia 2027 - international trade show for concrete Industry

World of Concrete Asia (WOCA) is the annual trade show for concrete, industrial flooring and construction mortars in Shanghai, the Asian edition of the World of Concrete brand from Las Vegas. It is organised by Informa Markets together with the China Flooring Association and the mortar committee of the China Bulk Cement Association.
