Aggregates Business Europe Magazine
With the EU’s 28,000 quarries producing around 7tonnes of aggregates on behalf of each person in the region, it is clear that aggregates are still vital to modern life despite the changed economic climate in Europe.
The challenge the industry is now facing is to produce the 3billion tonnes needed for infrastructure investment plans more efficiently than ever before but with limited capital investment.Aggregates Business Europe aims to deliver the latest environmental and safety best practice and information on new technology direct to 10,000 quarry professionals across Europe to help them deliver performance and efficiency improvements.
Aggregates Business Europe was launched in 2007 to meet the information needs of the increasingly complex, competitive, and regulated European quarrying sector and provide it with an independent voice and source of information.
Published six times a year, Aggregates Business Europe reports on quarrying best practice in both Europe and the rest of the world, new legislation and business news. The magazine also provides unbiased information on the latest equipment and systems available to quarry operators and features on innovative use of quarried material on the construction site. In-depth quarry profiles looking at every aspect of operation at individual quarries is one of the magazine's hallmark sections, as are the series of reports on national aggregates markets.
The magazine also includes news and information covering all aspects of quarrying from planning application, environmental issues and operation, through to the end use of aggregates, recycled aggregates and quarry restoration. Aggregates Business Europe's website - www.AggBusiness.com - provides a daily up-date on developments in the industry, while the printed magazine brings together and provides analysis of the key developments.
