National Pavement Expo
Nashville, TN
January 30 - February 2, 2008
NASHVILLE, TN- For the third year in a row, Clinton based EastCoat Pavement Services, represented the shoreline Connecticut region at the National Pavement Expo (NPE) in Nashville.
The event, held each year in Music City, is the most prominent national event for the pavement industry. It's an opportunity for pavement contractors and vendors throughout the country to network with each other, and preview new equipment on the exibit floor.
But the highlight of the show for brothers Andrew and Lyman McWain, Co-Owners of EastCoat, are the seminars and workshops that are held each year. "They're a great resource," says Andrew. "They represent an opportunity to take something real away from the show, to bring back and help our customers." The four day event includes seminars and training classes on the latest techniques and advances in the pavement industry. "These seminars give us an advantage in the field when we get out there and utilize the techniques we learned at the show to help solve problems for the customer," adds Lyman. "It's an invaluable experience."
For EastCoat, the NPE also keeps them up-to-date on current issues within the industry. Whether it's talking with manufacturers about raw materials and production, or learning about a new products to help customers meet their needs, the NPE provides a good "refresher" during the slower winter months. "Sometimes it's just nice to get out there and get motivated for spring!" adds Andrew. The NPE also offers several networking events during the four day blitz, giving contractors from across the country a chance to meet each other and discuss similar opportunities or issues.
Sponsored by two of the industry’s leading publications, Pavement and Asphalt Contractor, the NPE works closely with these publications to keep contractors informed with event details and industry news year-round. Thousands of industry professionals rely on NPE as an annual resource for new products and paving technology.
