Quarry Faces: October 2022

Equipment manufacturers were in Chicago this summer to gather ideas they can apply to ConExpo-Con/Agg 2023, which is scheduled for March 14-18 in Las Vegas. Pictured here, from left, at the pre-trade show meeting put on by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers and International Fluid Power Exposition are Conn-Weld Industries’ Anna Semonco, Philippi-Hagenbuch’s Josh Swank and Eagle Crusher’s Sydney Frank and Daniel Friedman.
