Intermat 2014 to line up latest building machinery

01 May 2013

AFTER two consecutive and successful exhibitions in the UAE, Intermat Middle East is returning to Abu Dhabi in early 2014 to provide stakeholders in the construction sector with the latest, most efficient machinery, equipment and materials to build a sustainable construction industry.

To be held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, the third Intermat Middle East will take place from January 20 to 22.

According to a recent report by BNC Network, an online project tracker, projects planned for the Gulf region are estimated to be worth $1.68 trillion.

Further, RNCOS analysts report that the UAE construction industry is driving growth with ongoing projects, investments into green open spaces and strong government support – all of which were estimated to be worth $39.4 billion in 2012 with an expected growth rate of 9.5 per cent between 2012 and 2016.

Maryvonne Lanoë, Intermat exhibition director, said: “Our prime focus is to cater to the growing needs of the region’s construction sector and build on the success Intermat Middle East has had over the past two years.

“This 2014 exhibition will provide attendees with the best and most effective products available to build strong, cost-effective and highly efficient projects. In response to the insightful and supportive feedback received by attendees last year, the next edition of Intermat Middle East will have an increased focus on concrete, roads and transport, scaffolding and formwork.”

Intermat Middle East 2014 will feature national pavilions consisting of key leading exhibitors from France, Turkey, UK, Italy and more.

With 250 exhibitors expected to participate and an estimated attendance of 7,500 professional visitors, Intermat Middle East is described as the region’s must-attend business event for construction and infrastructure in 2014.
