On June 9, Marco Borroni was elected the President of ERMCO, the European Association of Ready-mix Concrete Manufacturers, which comprises 25 Member countries.
The Director of Operations and Plants Design of Unical, Marco Borroni has been a member of the General Board of ATECAP (Technical Economic Association for Ready-mixed Concrete) since 2008, has represented Italy on the board of ERMCO since 2012, and has been a member of the GCCA (Global Cement and Concrete Association) Working Group since 2018.
As part of his mandate, the new President will continue the work of his predecessors by focusing on two fundamental aspects for the growth of the sector: sustainability and digitization.

To strengthen the digital aspect, a key role will be played by the DigiPLACE framework, a large EU-funded program for the digitization of the construction sector, and we will continue our activities with the BIM working group."
Borroni concludes:
"Our goal is to ensure that concrete is established as the preferred building material in the construction industry."
