‘The Middle East region is currently experiencing a frenzy in construction activities, resulting in a huge consequent demand for related machinery, equipment, and vehicles.

‘Despite the high demand, the region lacks a dedicated one-stop platform that can claim to be exclusively catering to the demand for this category of products from the construction industry.with its very focused exhibit profile, will fill that void.

The debut edition is hosting over 250 brands and companies from 21 countries. Among the major international brands that are being represented at the event are COPMA, Caterpillar, Hyundai, Sennebogen, Kobelco, Liebherr, Potain, Alimak, Dynapac, Atlas Copco, Stetter, Sandvik, Vogele, Snowkey, Sany, Raimondi, Eicher, CGR, RKF, Scania, Daewoo, Hyster, Bobcat, Grove, Konecranes, Soilmec, Terex, and Belle.

The outdoor exhibition area is mainly being utilized for showcasing medium to heavy machinery and vehicles. It is for the first time that a construction industry trade event in the region is utilizing such a massive indoor and outdoor display area for exhibition purpose.

‘The demand for equipment, machinery, and vehicles, has shot up significantly in the last few years as a result of the heightened activities in the construction sector. Given the robust economies of the region, there is no indication that there will be any let up in the Middle East real estate and construction growth in the near future. The demand for construction related machinery, equipment, and vehicles will therefore further shoot up.

A major highlight is the live demonstrations of tower cranes, fork lifts, earthmovers, concrete batching plants, and other light and medium range machinery, equipment, and vehicles.
