IN RESPONSE to intense investor interest in the region’s construction activity, the Riyadh Exhibitions Company (REC) is holding a top-level show focused on the heavy construction machinery and equipment concurrently with Saudi Build 2010.

Saudi Build – The PMV Series 2010, an international exhibition for construction equipment, plant, machinery and vehicles, has been organised to serve as a favourable business-to-business platform for suppliers and trade buyers to discuss new projects and identify business opportunities in Saudi Arabia, the largest construction market in the Middle East.
Over a total indoor and outdoor area of more than 5,000 sq m, the event will showcase a premium selection of heavy construction machinery and equipment, including tracked dozers, wheeled dozers, graders and levellers, front-end shovel loaders and excavators, from leading manufacturers worldwide.
“Private sector investments for various real estate projects in Saudi Arabia will reach an estimated $150 billion until 2012, creating new and exciting business opportunities in the lucrative construction machinery market, which is poised to expand by 20 per cent over the next five years. Heavy construction machinery and equipment will likewise be in high demand to support construction projects initiated by the Saudi government, which has allocated up to $400 billion in the next five years to build a diverse range of education, healthcare, infrastructure, transport and communications facilities,” says a spokesman for REC.
Kamil Al Jawhari, project manager of Saudi Build – The PMV Series, said: “Saudi Arabia’s construction sector has remained buoyant and lucrative, which is why Saudi Build – The PMV Series continues to attract decision-makers and investors from the global construction industry. The event offers the perfect platform for exhibitors to gain crucial brand exposure and secure business contacts and exciting deals and investment opportunities in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.”
