The second annual 3515 Intermat Middle East exhibition has now established the show as a key event for professionals in construction and infrastructure in the region. INTERMAT Middle East is the region’s biggest dedicated exhibition for construction machinery, equipment and materials. Strong support for the event came from the Ministry of Public Works of UAE (MoPW), the Department of Municipal Affairs (DMA) for Abu Dhabi, major exhibitors and key decision makers including developers, contractors and distributors in the region.

 The second edition attracted more than 100 exhibitors of which 75% were international brands. This blend of major international companies, and the main players in the regional market, reinforced the fact that INTERMAT Middle East is now established in the Middle East. INTERMAT Middle East 2012 attracted over 5,500 attendees across the three days from around the Middle East. The exhibition saw millions of dollars of orders placed and new contacts made with senior-level executives from the region’s most thriving construction companies. These senior-level purchasing negotiations have helped to cement INTERMAT Middle East definitively as the industry’s annual meeting point. The third edition will be in late 2013.

The MoPW and the DMA both showed strong support for the second annual INTERMAT Middle East with the organisation of the two-day Investment and Innovation in Construction summit. Both companies had senior level representatives participate at their respective areas located in the exhibition to provide additional details during workshops on current projects in the UAE, and what stakeholders in the construction industry can take advantage of as Abu Dhabi builds its 2030 vision.

The networking platform created by INTERMAT Middle East enabled exhibitors to secure contracts and potential deals with construction industry representatives from countries that included: Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Turkey and others.
