In September 2014, the Board of VDZ—The German Cement Works Association—restructured the marketing activities of BetonMarketing Germany GmbH (BMD) and its three regional divisions. Under the Concrete Information Centre (IZB), the cement and concrete industry in Germany ensures the alignment of regional and national promotional activities, including continued cooperation with the Federation of the German ready-mixed concrete industry.
The new structure will be managed by three representatives from the associate bodies: Mr. Nolting, Professor Middel, and Mr. Bernhofen, enabling clear regional promotion and a consistent approach towards the market and customers. Until the new structure of IZB is finalized, Mr. Nolting will be in charge of BMD, caring for the ongoing projects and aligning the current work to the new structure, including the work on concrete pavements.
