Innovative, creative, multicultural and sustainable – these are the requirements that must be fulfilled by partners of the worldwide architects association UIA.

Along with well-known industry representatives like ArcelorMittal, DOW CORNING, Holcimfoundation, KONE, PHILIPS and Somfy, since June 2008 TROX has been a business partner of the UIA, an organisation with 104 member sections in countries all over the world, from Andorra to Zambia.

10,000 UIA participants came from all over the world to the congress in Turinfrom 29 June to 3 July 2008, where they were informed about the topic of "Transmitting Architecture" and given an opportunity to share opinions on a high level with fellow architects.

During the event, TROX and Alfred Schelenz, CEO of the architect's office Gatermann + Schossig, introduced the joint, award-winning project "Capricorn House" in Medienhafen, Düsseldorf, while Dr. Helmut Franzen, CEO of the TROX GROUP,gave a presentation on the competence and know-how of TROX to the 400 delegates who had come from 123 countries to attend.

Relations with architects are planned to be further strengthened through participation in the WAF World Architecture Festival in Barcelona from 22 to 24 October 2008. Here, the TROX GROUP will introduce three interesting project studies from England, Spain and Germany.
