There are technical contributions on gear renovation, air cannons and silo management, while our regional focus shifts to Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. There is also a candid interview with Bassam Abdrassoul, Technical Director at Sinai Cement in Egypt.

The September 2020 issue of Global Cement Magazine has strong innovation focus, with contributions from Cementir, KHD Humboldt Wedag and cement consultant Xavier d'Hubert. We also feature a wide-ranging interview with VDZ CEO Dr Martin Schneider as VDZ moves into its new building, plus a review of the German cement market. Elsewhere, we look at the cement sectors of selected countries in Central America and the Caribbean, plus carbon capture and concrete dispatch logistics.

The July - August 2020 issue of Global Cement Magazine has a health and safety focus, with contributions on the safety of conveying systems, silos and refractory installation. Health and hygiene considerations, rarely in the spotlight before the Covid-19 outbreak, are represented in the form of social distancing technology, paperwork handling systems and training.

The issue also takes in the effect of the coronavirus outbreak on recent cement sector trends, Global Cement's annual look at the Top 10 cement producers and the cement industries of China and Pakistan.
