Maccaferri is one of the world’s biggest geosynthetics companies. In this 11 ICG Preview, we look at the technical expertise the company will share with the global engineering community during the 11th International Conference on Geosynthetics (16 – 21 September 2018) in Seoul.
Maccaferri also invites attendees to visit its team at Booths 63 & 64 in the 11 ICG exhibit hall.
