Slovak Ready Mixed Concrete Producers Association (SAVT) was established in the year 1995. The main goal of the establishing of the SAVT was to improve the quality level of ready mixed concrete production in Slovakia. At that time (year 1995) it was not simple task, therefore it was period of the transformation the whole industry in Slovakia and it was grate animosity to concrete as to the building material - due to the “grey concrete housing estates” built during the socialism time. The production of ready mixed concrete decreased to 0,3 m³ per capita. During the last 20 years concrete has achieved again the reputation of the secure and reliable material with long durability from which it is possible to construct modern and aesthetic buildings. At the present time (year 2020) the ready mixed concrete production in Slovakia  is approx.0,6 m³ per capita - what is close to the average ready mixed concrete production in EU countries, who are the members of ERMCO (average in year 2018 – 0,5 m³/capita).

SAVT has co-operated with ERMCO (in the different form) from year 1995. At the beginning it was trough companies “Slovbeton, s.r.o.”, later “Holcim beton, s.ro.”  and finally from the year 2001 - SAVT has started the full membership in ERMCO.  Unfortunately (due to the lack of financial founds), SAVT was forced to terminate ERMCO membership at the end of the year 2014.

Main fields of SAVT activities are:

• joint effort for the support of ready mixed concrete (RMC) production in Slovakia
• the support of RMC production in the technical and environmental areas and at the standard preparation and also in the marketing of new products from concrete
• enforcement of the ethics code at the RMC production (mainly compliance at the opening and operation of RMC plants)

SAVT organizes for education of its members  (and also for all technicians having interest about concrete)  every year:

• internal seminar (workshop), which is oriented on actual problems of SAVT members at RMC production – every year in Bratislava in March or April
• conference with international participants “BETON 201.” (“Concrete 201.”) – every 2 years in High Tatras (hotel Patria – Strbske pleso) at the beginning of October   
• seminar “VYROBA BETONU 201.” (“Concrete production 201.”) - every 2 years in High Tatras (hotel Patria – Strbske pleso)  at the beginning of October
