Outstanding projects from across the region celebrated at company’s Global Research Centre

CEMEX EMEA have celebrated some of their most outstanding projects from across the region at their Global Research and Development (GRD) Centre in Bruegg, Switzerland, under the theme ‘Shaping the Future Together’.

Among the highlighted developments were the latest regional winners of the international edition of the Cemex Building Awards, an international competition celebrated since 1991, which this year featured 43 finalist projects from 17 countries.

 

Additionally, special regional recognitions were awarded to projects demonstrating exceptional contributions to sustainable development through innovative use of Cemex materials.

The event was attended by representatives from each awarded project, along with Cemex EMEA’s new regional president, José Antonio Cabrera, as well as well-known architect and MIT associate professor of architecture Brandon Clifford, who attended the event as a valued Cemex collaborator, highlighting the ongoing partnership in developing innovative projects addressing sustainable construction.

Participants experienced an exclusive guided tour of Cemex’s Research and Development laboratory led by Davide Zampini, global vice-president of research and development, including a hands-on workshop demonstrating Cemex’s latest innovations in concrete technology.

Davide Zampini commented: ‘It was a privilege to welcome some of the leading talents of the region’s construction industry to the GRD centre, following their deserved recognition in our Building Awards.

‘Concrete performed a crucial role in their winning projects and will continue to do so in the outstanding developments of the years to come. Collaborating with the visionaries of our industry will enable us to build better, smarter, and more efficiently, meeting the ever-changing needs of the world around us.’
