The German Federal Associations of Cement, Ready-mix Concrete, and Precast Concrete Element Industries have placed their marketing activities onto a common foundation. In June 2015, the InformationsZentrum Beton was founded, formerly known as BetonMarketing. In the framework of the reorganisation the three former regional companies and BetonMarketing Deutschland were merged into InformationsZentrum Beton GmbH.

An important part of the new structure is the joint development of projects within the industries and the close cooperation and linkage with companies and concrete associations. This bundling of forces of the newly formed InformationsZentrum Beton represents the interests of more than 1,000 companies with over 4,000 production sites for cement-bound building materials in federal territory.
The goal of the community is the information about the advantages and benefits of concrete construction for professionals and private builders. The core of marketing is to identify and raising of synergic potential in the marketing activities in the industry and networking with professional groups. This means for example the placement of concrete technical know-how, and company-wide communication in various media and the leadership of the umbrella brand concrete.
