Intermat ASEAN will see a range of construction products on show, including the production and use of construction materials, earthmoving, civil engineering, concrete manufacture, buildings and work sites, lifting, handling, drilling, boring, road infrastructures, mining and quarry equipment, vehicles and transportation, components and accessories, demolition and recycling.
Isabelle Alfano, Intermat show director, said, “I am very proud to bring Intermat in Bangkok and to be a partner of Impact, a renowned show organizer.
“Thailand is a fast growing country with strong construction challenges and, being present in Thailand will enable Intermat to spread all around ASEAN countries.
Loy Joon How, general manager for Impact, said, “ASEAN is one of the world's most dynamic and fast growing regions, and Thailand is strategically located within the heart of the region.
“With the launch of the ASEAN economic community, comprising 600 million people, connectivity is the key for trade and economic growths.”
He added that the ASEAN region required investments of US$ 60 billion a year to support its infrastructure development needs.
