The 2020 CIM Auction is TODAY!
The National Steering Committee of the Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program appreciates your support of the CIM Auction. The 2020 Auction has the potential to be the best ever! "Thanks to the tremendous response from the industry, we anticipate having the best CIM Auction ever," said Ben Robuck, CIM Auction Chairman. "In addition to our signature concrete mixer truck donated by Mack Trucks, Inc. and McNeilus, we have a variety of equipment, materials, software packages, safety equipment and tools available. Cement will be a hot item again this year, and concrete contractors should be excited about the number of items we have for them in the Auction." 
 
The CIM Auction will take place  TODAY  at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Room N262. The Silent Auction will start at 11 a.m. PST and the Live Auction at 1 p.m.
