Bangkok to Host Two New Building Expos in 2014

n line with strong regional construction growth, Bangkok will introduce two new building expos this year to serve as platforms to promote the construction

industry.

the two shows, Concrete Expo Asia 2014 and Construction Materials Expo Asia 2014, will be held concurrently at Bangkok’s Impact Exhibition and Convention Centre on September 18-20.

They are part of Thailand’s Construction & Building Technology Week (CBT), a series of five exhibitions over three days including the Asia Pacific Cleaning Industry Expo; the Professional Music Audio, Lighting, Audio Visual, Systems Integration, Music Software & IT Entertainment Technology Exhibition; and the Facility Management, Building and Plant Maintenance Show. The five shows are hosted and organized by Impact Exhibition Management Co., Ltd.

Concrete Expo Asia 2014 will be an international platform for construction professionals and traders to source construction materials, technology and alternative material products exclusively focused on steel, stone materials and decoration, ceramic tiles, construction tools and equipment, and innovative material products.

Construction Materials Expo Asia 2014 will be a business platform for international companies to access Thailand’s construction and construction materials industry as well as a gateway to ASEAN ahead of the bloc’s economic integration set for 2015.

There will be 500 booths for exhibitors, 250 booths for at each event. As of early April, about 60 percent of the booths had been reserved.

Running alongside the exhibitions will be a series of conferences, seminars, certification courses and workshops that will encourage knowledge exchanges and networking and promote new business opportunities.

Ms. Pornphan Bulner, assistant director of the exhibition department at Impact Exhibition Management, spoke at SeoulBuild 2014 in South Korea earlier this year to promote both events in Thailand. She said based on the Korean experience, the Thai expos will offer excellent business opportunities for international sellers who will be able to personally meet thousands of regional and local buyers.

“The show attracted a lot of interest from Korean companies especially those who wanted to expand their business to Thailand and Southeast Asia,” she said.

Over 150 local and international exhibiting companies are expected to showcase their newest products, technology, equipment and solutions to over 3,000 trade buyers and decision-makers from the building and construction sectors, who are expected to come from both Thailand and the surrounding ASEAN region.

Last year, the Construction & Building Technology Week attracted 348 exhibiting companies from 22 countries and 13,178 visitors from 41 countries.

Concrete Expo Asia 2014 and Construction Materials Expo Asia 2014 have received strong industry support from Thailand and ASEAN. Concrete Expo Asia 2014 is supported by the Association of Thai Concrete Product Industry, the American Concrete Institute and its sister chapter from Singapore, as well as Malaysia’s National Ready-Mixed Concrete Association, among others.
