This month we focus on our trip to World of Concrete 2025
Concrete Supply Plus at World of Concrete 2025: The Future of the Concrete is Here
This month, we’re covering our attendance at World of Concrete 2025, where the latest innovations in concrete construction were on full display.
If there’s one takeaway from this year’s show, it’s that automation is moving in fast—from robots that tie rebar to remote-controlled dumpers and precision measurement tools.
Labor-saving solutions is stronger than ever, and for good reason. As contractors, we know that anything that can speed up the job, reduce fatigue, and improve accuracy is worth investing in long-term.
One of the most eye-catching advancements was a robot prototype that ties rebar together, a game-changer for anyone who’s ever spent hours bent over, twisting wire by hand.
Drones are also making an impact, offering quick and accurate site surveys that help keep projects on track.
We also saw more compact concrete mixers designed for specialized products, giving contractors more flexibility for smaller batch jobs compared to two years ago.
The competition scene was as strong as ever, from bricklaying battles to trowel races, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship that make this industry what it is.
Innovations in tool design also caught our attention—everyone seems to coming up ways to reduce vibration fatigue, support rigs for heavy tools like jackhammers, and a growing interest in decorative concrete solutions.
Whether it’s stamped, stained, or polished concrete, customers are asking for more customization, and the industry is responding with better products and techniques. Also Fluorescent pellets for sidewalks, driveways and roadways designed to improve safety during the night.
Of course we did stop at a suppliers for CONFAST and Simpson Strong-Tie booths as well. You can order wedge anchors and Simpson Strong-Tie 24/7 on the CONFAST website.

Here is a group of photos from the show. We also had fun seeing art made from a collection of equipment spare parts, miniature models of equipment, concrete plants and material conveyors that look almost real. Can you find the miniature model of concrete equipment in the photos?
