Leading building solutions provider Holcim Philippines, Inc. will showcase its lineup of innovative and sustainable products that are helping partners advance progress in the country when it participates in the Davao leg of top construction trade show Philconstruct.
Holcim Philippines’s physical and virtual booths will have the theme “Greenovate ” to highlight its expanded range of advanced and eco-friendly building solutions available in Mindanao. Those who cannot visit Davao for the exhibit may experience it virtually on the PhilConstruct website.
Among the products to be featured at its PhilConstruct booth in SM Lanang from Sept. 8-10 is Holcim Aqua-X, the first water-repellent cement in the Philippines.
