IRF represented at the Asphalt Rubber Conference 2012, Munich
A good road infrastructure is the prerequisite for mobility and thus
also for prosperity and growth. A key factor in establishing and
maintaining efficient infrastructure is high-quality road construction

held in Eu-rope, namely in Munich. Nearly 250 participants from 30
