You can meet with the CABRO team on Wednesday next week in Tartu at the Rural Fair, a big exhibition taking place every spring.
The fair primarily introduces two brands and products: Acontank™ circle containers and Aconsilo™ silos. Kalle Kõllo, manager of CABRO's environmental and agricultural products division, elaborates on silos, "This year, we have updated the silos by using sulfur-resistant concrete in the wall elements. This ensures that the concrete of walls has a considerably better resistance to the impacts of aggressive silage, thus significantly prolonging the service life of silo containers."
The fair takes place at AS Tartu Näitused exhibition centre from 18 to 20 April and is open on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9. a.m. to 5 p.m.

Kaisa Gabral, Business Day in the Statistical Office of Estonia, said that building materials producers were among those who had nicely grown in February this year. According to Meelis Einstein, Head of the Building Materials Manufacturers Association, the projects started last year brought growth.
"In many ways, the growth of projects started last year came to an end. Exactly, more work was done, but in January, February and March there are quiet months in construction.
"This growth, as it was in February, we probably did not see in the year," added the entrepreneur and could not reveal a specific company that would have been more successful than others.
Building materials are mainly exported to neighboring countries. "Scandinavia, Latvia, Lithuania are slightly less than Russia," Einestein listed.
Speaking of February's exports, it could also be a bit of a boost to the February boom.
The following months will probably not show such growth, like in the spring. "With the current picture, this is not real. We look forward to staying at this year's level. It's possible that there is a slight increase, but not hoping for such an increase as in February, "he added.

Kaisa Gabral, Äripäev The Statistical Office of Estonia announced that building materials manufacturers were among those who had nicely grown in February this year. E-Betainelement keeps exporting on target. "
"Meie tööstusel on see teema, et võrreldes eelmise aastaga on kohalik turg samal tasemel, kuid me oleme üritanud leida väljundit väljapoole. Ehitajad ennustavad turu langust ja me oleme väljastpoolt aktiivsust otsinud,” märkis E-Betoonelement ASi juht Vaido Leosk.
"We are targeting export markets because local markets are not very optimistic. We mainly export to the Scandinavian countries, "Leosk added.
For the following months Leosk predicted a slight increase in the sector as a whole, but certainly not as optimistic as in February.
Ehitusuudised.ee The previous year, the Estonian Building Materials Manufacturers Association is pleased. However, for 2013, building materials manufacturers are more modest.

Ehitusuudised.ee The Airport harbour opened last year has won several awards. This week, two awards were added to the Airport - a concrete construction of the year and a marketing mix of the year.
On the concrete day on March 14, the Estonian Concrete Association recognized the winners of the "Concrete Building 2012" contest.
The reconstruction of hangars for airplanes in Tallinn was announced as a concrete building of the year.
Designers Karl Õiger and Heiki Onton were recognized as the main prize for the competition. The commissioner's award went to the Estonian Maritime Museum and the Architecture Prize went to KOKO Architects OÜ.
The hangar for airplanes was designed and built between 1915 and 1917 by the Danish company Christian & Nielsen, at that time in the Mines Harbor.
One of the major challenges of the reconstruction efforts was the filling of cracks in the hangars' domes - the total length of the dangerous cracks in the structure was measured to be 3.6 kilometers.
"In this reconstruction work, innovation is more than in many new buildings.
According to the chairman of the jury, Aadu Kana, the experts call the reconstruction of the hangar's restoration process as the hangars were virtually completely refurbished in 95 years and their condition was very poor.
"One of the leaders in the unprecedented reconstruction process under our circumstances was Professor Karl Õiger of Tallinn University of Technology, who has been involved in the acquisition and development of aviation harbor for 11 years," Kana said.
The competition was also awarded a special prize worthy of recognition for the architectural concept of the Narva College Building of the University of Tartu (Architectural Bureau Kavakava OÜ: Siiri Vallner, Indrek Peil, Katrin Koov).
The jury recognised the project as a building that promotes concrete in the best way. "It is a world-class architectural concept that is cleanly consistent to the end. The entire building is very concrete-based, and the interior also shows off concrete well. It is an excellent example of a building where concrete serves architecture," the jury noted.
The jury of the "Concrete building of the Year 2012" competition included representatives from Estonian Construction Association: Estonian Concrete Association - Johannes Pello, Estonian Architects Union - Ralf Lõoke, Estonian Construction Entrepreneurs Association - Indrek Peterson, Estonian Construction Engineers Association - Heiki Meos, Estonian Building Materials Manufacturers Association - Enno Rebane, Estonian Project Offices Union - Andres Saar, Aadu Kana, chairman of the jury, as well as representatives of construction journalists - Eva Kiisler from the magazine "Ehitaja", Liivi Tamm from the newspaper Äripäev and the Finnish architect Maritta Koivisto from Betoni.
The Estonian Concrete Association is a union that promotes the use of concrete as a building material for domestic use, which includes 49 enterprises, organizations and private individuals.
The special prize at the Concrete Building of the Year 2012 for architectural concept was awarded to the University of Tartu Narva College, architects Siiri Vallner, Indrek Peil and Katrin Koov from the architectural bureau Kavakava OÜ. The building's unique façade imitates the baroque façade of a stock exchange building in negative that once stood in the same place.

Object: Ramp of the car park
Address: Lai St. 7, Pärnu
Architect: TEMPT OÜ
Client: Merko Ehitus Eesti AS
AS E-Betoonelement's contracting: production and transport of elements
Sales Engineer: Neeme Kasela
Project Manager: Priit Kärner
E-Betoonelement's Project Manager Priit Kärner: "In all probability, the Pärnu car park should be completed by the end of July this year. The construction works also include a new façade for the existing car park. The installation of ramp's elements is going to be significantly more difficult than usual and restricted access to the construction object does not make it any easier. All the elements are manufactured in the factory in Tamsalu, including the arched beam and wall elements."
The solution of the ramp of the car park is based on the concept developed by AS Betoonelement's parent undertaking Consolis. The car park itself has been built already and is 6-storeys high. Floors 0 and 1 of the building house commercial premises; floors 2 to 6 are for parking spaces. You can read more about E-Betoonelement's car park systems here. here.
E-Betoonelement delivers hollow core slabs, posts, beams and arched beam and wall elements to the object.
14 March is Concrete Day during which the winners of the Concrete Building of the Year 2012 will be announced. There will be a photo exhibition of the nominees of the Concrete Building of the Year 2012 and buildings that have won the competition previously.

Object: Expansion of the Rocca al Mare Shopping Centre, IV stage
Address: Paldiski mnt 102, Tallinn
Architects: Meeli Truu and Maike Heido, AS Nord Projekt
Contracting entity: Nordecon AS
AS E-Betoonelement's contracting: design, elements and transport
Sales Engineer: Neeme Kasela
Project Manager: Toomas Böttcher
AS E-Betoonelement entered into a contract with AS Nordecon to design and deliver reinforced concrete elements for the expansion of the Rocca al Mare Shopping Centre. First elements arrived at the object at the start of this week.
The expansion gives Rocca al Mare Shopping centre nearly 3700 m2 which comes at the expense of the loading area for goods in the back yard. The space to be built will be two storeys high like the part of the centre that has already been reconstructed and expanded.
E-Betoonelement delivers hollow core slabs, posts, beams and wall elements for the expansion of the centre. The deliveries will last until the end of March. The expansion will be completed in the summer of 2013.
CABRO team from E-Betoonelement is participating at the Sarka Fair in North-West Finland this Friday and Saturday. It is an agricultural fair that approximately 150 companies take part in.
Cabro team is introducing mostly tanks from the Acontank™ range, but also gives out information about other solutions made of precast concrete.
The Fair is open on Friday at 09:00-17:00 and Saturday at 10:00-16:00.
See you in booth A26!
