The Concrete Industry Management program, a business intensive program that awards students with a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Concrete Industry Management, announced the signature item for its sixth annual auction at World of Concrete is a Mack Truck model GU713 equipped with a McNeilus 11-cubic-yard Bridgemaster concrete mixer donated by Mack Trucks and McNeilus Co., a Division of Oshkosh Truck. The total combined value for this item is more than $160,000.
"To have a signature item such as this truck chassis donated by Mack Truck and a Bridgemaster 11-cubic-yard concrete mixer donated by McNeilus Co. is the strong foundation needed to help ensure a successful CIM Auction at the 2011 World of Concrete," said Peter Brewin, CIM Auction Committee chairman. "The 2011 CIM Auction now has the potential of being the best ever as the overall response of donated items from both producers and suppliers to the concrete industry has been outstanding."
The sixth annual auction will be held Thursday, Jan. 20, in the North Hall Room N262 of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The silent auction will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the live auction begins at 1 p.m. Internet bidding will be available on the Ritchie Brothers website, www.rbauction.com.
