Putzmeister America, Inc. Announces Success at 41st Annual World of Concrete

Putzmeister America, Inc. attended the 41st annual World of Concrete Feb. 2–6, 2015 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, where it presented two booths to showcase its various equipment models and engineering advancements.

Putzmeister presented a main booth and a mixer booth. The main booth featured an extensive display of boom pumps, including: 31Z, 36Z, 38Z-5, 47Z, 56Z and 61, the Telebelt® TB 110, the redesigned Thom-Katt® TK 40 and Thom-Katt® TK 70 models, BSA 120-D trailer-mounted concrete pump, and Piccola rotary gun. The mixer booth included the Pro Series and Bridge Maxx Series concrete mixer trucks, as well as a 36Z.

Putzmeister’s boom pumps were also on display in truck manufacturers’ booths. Mack featured the 36Z on a Mack MRU 613 in their lineup, while a medium duty Kenworth T370 outfitted with a Putzmeister 20Z boom pump was included in Kenworth’s.

Booth visitors experienced the interactive RS 850 tubular column placing system, which features a fully automatic self-climbing system, and easy-to-assemble, compact design for use in high-rise pumping. The tower’s one-sided mechanical climbing system ensures greater flexibility and ease-of-use, as it is automated and does not need to be moved manually.

The interactive RS 909 hopper display and interactive touch screens were located throughout the booth. These displays provided booth visitors the opportunity to not only walk around the equipment, but to also view individual components on a more indepth basis.

“World of Concrete is a great opportunity to engage with current and potential customers,” said Bill Dwyer, vice president of sales and marketing. “We were pleased to introduce our latest advancements at this year’s show. We revealed the updates to the Thom-Katt line, which were very well received by the industry, and we showcased nearly our entire boom pump line, which was a testament to the high quality and variety of equipment we provide our customers.”

During the show, Putzmeister hosted a VIP cocktail reception at Tryst Nightclub at the Wynn, where distributor partners were honored with the annual “Distributor of the Year” awards, while a cocktail reception was held for the Ready Mix industry at the Riviera Hotel and Casino. With a large volume of booth traffic and enthusiasm for the two booth presentations, this year’s World of Concrete show was a great success for Putzmeister America.
