Construction Machinery Show in Dammam Promises Live Equipment Demos for First Time in Region

Dammam, KSA, 5th February, 2014: Construction Machinery Show, the largest dedicated event for heavy machinery and construction equipment in the GCC region, returns to Saudi Arabia this year with a spectacular live demonstration area – a regional first – at the Dhahran International Exhibition Centre in Dammam from 16-20 February, 2014.

Alongside the indoor and outdoor exhibits, attendees will be able to witness an array of excavators, wheel loaders, concrete pumps, skid steers as well as earth moving equipment in action for the first time in the region, from leading manufacturers such as Case, Doosan Everdigm, Liugong, Bobcat and Ammann at a huge 15,000 sqm dedicated area. Each of these companies will bring in experts from their respective headquarters to operate their top equipment, giving construction companies, engineers, developers and construction experts the opportunity to witness first-hand the ability of these machines to operate in this region.

Speaking about the addition of this new element to the show, Raz Islam, Publishing Director of CP Media Group, organizers of the event said: “Every other show in the region offers you a static experience. Based on the feedback that we have received from attendees in previous years, we felt live demonstrations were critical to the decision making process and decided to bring this element to the show. No other event in the region does this at present. By demonstrating the power and ability of their machines to cope with the Middle East heat and in remote locations, these exhibitors will also create greater impact in the local market.”

The event organizer is also pleased to announce the entry of Famco Saudi, distributors of Volvo construction equipment, for the first time.

Unlike previous editions, Construction Machinery Show will be held for five days instead of four. It will showcase the latest heavy machinery and construction equipment during the event, which attracts the top-tier local and regional businesses that are related to construction and infrastructure development in the KSA market.

The construction industry in the Kingdom has witnessed unprecedented growth creating huge opportunities for consultants and contractors. The 2014 show offers the perfect opportunity to not just showcase all the latest construction and machinery products, it also provides the perfect networking platform for the industry.
