Langley Grdups Mark Dmelaniec chairs American Concrete Pipe Assdciatidn

摘要

While the American Concrete Pipe Association (ACPA) continues internal efforts to streamline its operations with the goal of cutting costs, the group has also spent a great deal of time looking outward, specifically at alternative pipe products coming in from outside of North America that have not gone through the same certification and testing processes as have members' products. While imports may have the advantage of being less expensive upfront, 2010 ACPA Chairman Mark Omelaniec, president, The Langley Group of Companies, Langley, British Columbia, sees the longer-term outlook for such products to be potentially disastrous and costly.
