Booths of many well-known enterprises and research institutions, including Kehang Group, China National Building Material International Engineering Group Co., Ltd.,TJKJianke Machinery, and the Hefei Cement Research and Design Institute, attracted numerous customers.

It can be seen from the exhibition that cement enterprises developing the sand and gravel and concrete industries has become an inevitable measure for cement enterprises to improve the industrial chain, reduce market risks, and achieve sustainable development. In2013, the "14th China International Cement Technology and Equipment Exhibition" was held concurrently with the "6th China International Mining and Powder Processing Technology and Equipment Exhibition" and the "5th China International Concrete Technology and Equipment Exhibition," jointly creating a full industrial chain covering mining and sand and gravel, cement, concrete, and construction technology, and providing customers with broader and richer trade and market information.

The most distinctive feature and hallmark of this exhibition is its development toward internationalization and a brand-oriented, premium exhibition, presenting itself to attending merchants with a brand-new posture, excellent service, a huge buyer base, and rich academic exchange activities; at the same time, it displays the latest products, technologies, and equipment in the industry, comprehensively presenting the current dynamics and development trends of the cement industry, and providing favorable opportunities and the best platform for exhibitors to seek cooperation, expand markets, and develop innovations.
