With only three months to go until Cambodia’s flagship 2nd Building and Property Expo, many global and leading local brands in the building and property industries have now confirmed their presence at the fair.

Scheduled for December 3-5, 2015 at the Diamond Island Exhibition and Convention Center, the fair is organised by the Cambodia Constructors Association (CCA) which represents constructors in Cambodia.

Featuring around 300 booths, the expo layout is divided into three sections: real estate firms, banks and insurers; construction material and decoration; and electrical, plumbing and water supply, machinery, mechanical and steel frames.

In the real estate sector, the Overseas Cambodian Investment Corporation (OCIC), Cambodia’s biggest property developer, and which is behind dozens of residential and commercial property projects nationwide, has signed up for 22 booths to showcase its numerous large-scale realty projects, especially those under construction at Diamond Island. Chinese-based Union Development has taken 8 booths to unveil its 36,000-hectare Dara Sakor Seashore Resort—Cambodia and SE Asia’s biggest resort development. Many luxury residential projects (boreys), and condominiums developed by local and foreign investors such as Residence L, and The Bay have also confirmed their presence.

In the construction materials and decoration section, a large number of global brands will dominate the area to showcase their latest hi-tech products. Among the world-leading brand distributors in Cambodia that have confirmed their participation are Heng Asia which distributes global sanitary ware brands like Hansgrohe, Karat, Kohler, Fagor, and Kenzai; HSC Décor Center which distributes Mitsubishi air-con and Kansai Paint, Camcona Trading (Cambodia) which distributes Rinnai, Ligman, and Imer; Wiki Trade which distributes York air-con and Khmer Rock; RTD Enterprise which distributes flooring materials such as Tarkett and Tandus, and Fagor home appliances.

In the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) section, TEM Trading have booked 6 booths to exhibit its global PP-R Pipe Polygon, Ebara pumps, and SRI firefighting systems, while SCG and Comin Khmere will also showcase their respective world-renowned M&E products and solutions.

PEB Steel, ISI and Fuxin Steel Building will dominate the steel frame section with their respective hi-tech steel structure solutions.

Robert Bosch and AEG, the world leaders in the power tools industry, will introduce their latest power tool technologies to users in Cambodia in the power tools area, while Meng Leng Eav Group has taken 8 booths to feature dozens of brands of power tools as well as agriculture and cleaning devices.

The branch of PTS Group that exclusively distributes Kobelco Excavator and Sakai Roller; UMG that exclusively supplies Volvo excavators, Dongfeng Truck, SOlG Roller, Kong Nuon Group which distributes Hitachi Excavator, Yanmar Tractor and Toyota Forklift; and JIT which supplies handling and engineering machineries will fill the show’s outdoor area with their leading brands of heavy plant machinery.

Turnout is expected to be high thanks to the association’s excellent local and international connections. The organisers predict that this 2nd flagship building and property expo will attract hundreds of thousands of local and international visitors and exhibitors, compared to the 5,300 last year.

By mid-August, over 65 percent of the booths had been booked, and many other firms are now close to signing exhibition contracts. Exhibiting at the trade fair can bring real benefits to firms, and the CCA encourages interested firms to sign up for booths to gain a unique opportunity to network with key players in their sector as well as to make contacts with new customers.
