A3 & Co, UAE

Global Cement Magazine has established itself as a main source of information and networking for members working with the cement industry worldwide. I had met Dr McCaffrey in his beginnings and I must say that I am not surprised by the success he has made, not only with the prominence of the magazine, but also by the various events that uniquely concentrated on issues related to the environment, energy and efficiency ahead of everyone. Wishing you another great 25 years.

Eng. Ahmad Al-Rousan

Secretary General, AUCBM, Syria

The Arab Union for Cement and Building Materials (AUCBM) collaborates with a number of distinguished international journals dealing with the cement industry and building materials.

Add to this the other publications and events held by Global Cement, which are considered one of the prime references for those interested in cement industry. While Global Cement Magazine has occupied a prominent position, the credit goes to the great efforts of its staff, who deserve all appreciation and praise.

Patrick Heyd

Gebr. Pfeiffer SE, Germany

We have used Global Cement Magazine as a communication channel from the very beginning and have built up a very good relationship over the last 25 years. As a process specialist in the field of state-of-the-art grinding technology and solution provider to the cement industry, we view the magazine from two perspectives. On the one hand, to improve our own level of awareness and, on the other hand, to inform ourselves about the latest news from the industry. Experience shows that the magazine is very good for both. For example, the magazine has provided us with communication support for world premieres, such as the first vertical mill with a drive power of more than 10,000kW or the first modular cement grinding plant with vertical mill technology, but also for our 150th company anniversary in 2014. We congratulate Global Cement Magazine on its 25th anniversary and look forward to a fruitful cooperation in the years to come.

Thomas Guillot

Global Cement and Concrete Association, UK

On behalf of the GCCA and its membership, I congratulate the Global Cement Magazine on 25 years of outstanding coverage. Your platform has long been at the forefront of reporting for our sector, bringing quality insight as our sector has grown and evolved. As we move into a key phase of delivering a sustainable future and on the commitments within our Net Zero Roadmap, I am sure you will continue to play a key part in telling our story to the wider world - a bright cement and concrete future. We look forward to many more years of working with you.

HARDTOP Gießereitechnologie GmbH, Germany

We would like to warmly congratulate you on the occasion of your 25th Anniversary. HARDTOP Gießereitechnologie GmbH has worked successfully with you for more than 20 years. This is expressed, among other things, in the countless articles that we have been able to publish in your well-known specialist magazine for the cement industry. We checked again - the first publication, with the title ‘Operational results of composite cast hammers,’ was in September 2000. We were still at the very beginning and were happy to have had this opportunity. In addition, we have already been able to cover the front page of Global Cement Magazine five times and place regular advertisements. You have always actively accompanied us as a company and always stood by our side with advice and action. This has resulted in a very close friendship that we would never be without. We thank you for your continued loyalty and your kind support and wish you continued success.
