What Anefhop does

ANEFHOP (Asociación Nacional de Fabricantes de Hormigón Preparado) is a private non-profit business association founded in 1968 and headquartered in Madrid, representing ready-mix concrete manufacturers across Spain. The association operates through a Madrid headquarters plus six territorial delegations (Noroeste, Norte, Noreste, Levante, Centro, and Sur) that collectively cover all of Spain's autonomous communities, and it counts representation from large industry players including Holcim, CEMEX, PROMSA, and MAHORSA among its associated and adhered companies. Its declared mission is to represent, defend, and improve the sector through advocacy before public administrations, technical standardization, sustainability support, and member services.

The association's core products and services span four pillars: (1) digital tools, including the Calculadora CO₂ for carbon footprint measurement and the BIM Object Library (developed with BIMETICA under the GDO-BIM standard, launched May 2026 with five concrete typologies in Revit format); (2) certification programs, namely the Sello Hormigón Expert quality seal and the Plantas con DAP (Environmental Product Declaration) program, supported by a public certificate search tool; (3) knowledge and training, delivered through the Academia del Hormigón (courses and webinars), the Revista Hormigón Preparado, a digital library, sector intelligence reports, and the annual Premios del Hormigón; and (4) events and advocacy, anchored by the biennial Congreso Nacional del Hormigón (Zaragoza 2024, Granada 2027) and active participation in ERMCO, CEOE, AENOR, CEPCO, CNC, PTEH, and FIHP. Adjacent member services include an employment board, a construction machinery exchange (Bolsa de Maquinaria), and insurance brokerage through Peris Seguros.

ANEFHOP's business model is membership-dues funded (subscription/recurring). Membership tiers correspond to associated manufacturers (full members), adhered companies (additive makers, laboratories, consultants, training centers, and machinery providers), technology partners, and concrete transporters. Certain services — the private member area, technical documentation, training, and certification access — are exclusive to members, while public-facing tools (plant finder, certificate searcher, CO2 calculator) support the association's brand and lead-generation function. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and currently led by President Àlex Vila (appointed July 2026) and Director General Carlos Peraita, executing the Plan Estratégico 2030 (~90 initiatives) and the Digital Transformation Agenda 2024-2027.
