The new ACPA Pipe School, a combination of the Sales & Marketing School and the Production Short Course, will be offered prior to The Precast Show in Phoenix, AZ, Feb. 17-19, 2010.

With today’s fierce competition, concrete pipe producers lead the way by making quality products in a safe and efficient manner. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from the most experienced and knowledgeable instructors in North America.

At this year’s Pipe School, industry peers and professional speakers will provide valuable insight about quality, employee safety, workplace efficiencies, management tools, advancement in technologies, SWOT analysis, and marketing and selling techniques. By attending the school, students will reward employers by improving production and sales from information learned at the training.

The 2010 program will include a variety of courses, plant tours, machinery clinics, round table discussions and the Annual Safety, Chairman’s Safety and Marketing Award luncheons. This year the Pipe School will also offer the opportunity for personnel to become QCast accredited.

The school will also have a half-day dedicated to installation, since this is a critical component in showing the differences between concrete pipe and other pipe products.
