The precast concrete industry is involved in the supply of sustainable solutions for the built environment. The sector employs more than 210,000 people in 8,000 production facilities across Europe, generating a turnover of more than 35 billion €. Precast concrete has a strong position in housing, commercial and infrastructure construction in many European countries. This is due to its pro-active development of prefabricated systems, a high degree of automation in production and short construction times.

Industrialized construction means cost efficiency, high quality, environmentally friendly solutions and also a great variety of architectural design options. Combined with energy-saving solutions and modern information and communications technology (ICT), these strengths will continue to add value for our society as a whole and for the construction sector in particular.
