The 332 Smopyc exhibition will have close to 100,000m² of covered exhibition space, as well as an outdoor area and a demonstration area providing a total surface area for the show of 300,000m².

The international show for public works and construction and mining machinery looks to be a major construction show for Europe in 2011 and is expected to draw a high attendance.

Some nine pavilions are being planned for the main international companies in the sector at the Zaragoza Exhibition Centre, north-east Spain.

The 15th event will be staged from 5-9 April, 2011, and the different pavilions have been designed as sector-specific areas, and these include auxiliary equipment for building elevation and handling; components, spares, accessories and services; earthmoving and roads, compacting, drilling, elevation and handling; industrial vehicles and transport; aggregates and concrete; international meeting point and services; demonstration area, and multi-sector outdoor area.

The show is also a major launch vehicle for new machines in Europe, and with the Stage IIIB emission regulations now in force will be a premier event for manufacturers to highlight their latest European equipment and models.

Because of the new Stage IIIB emissions legislation, SMOPYC will of key importance to manufacturers wanting to reveal their new emission solutions developed for the European market place.

This development will significantly raise the profile of the exhibition.
