AFRICAN CONSTRUCTION EXPO 2020 PROMISES TO BE THE BEST YET

In the face of a challenging local and worldwide economy, one thing is
certain – now is the time to ensure every employee and employer in the
construction industry stays abreast of the latest industry trends and
technology. To continuously upskill and to build their own capacity will pay
off to ensure the country’s infrastructure needs are met. 

In June 2020, that opportunity comes in the form of the construction industry’s
leading calendar event – the 8th annual African Construction and Totally Concrete Expo, which will be taking place at the
Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg from 9 to 11 June 2020. The expo is
conveniently and purposefully co-located with WoodEX for Africa, Deck & Flooring
Expo, African Smart Cities
Summit, Pumps, Valves and
Pipes Africa Expo and the African Construction Awards to attract buyers, sellers and
contractors from over 45 countries.   
 

Stephan Jooste, Director of WoodEX for Africa, says the African
Construction Expo is a perfect fit for WoodEX for Africa. “African Construction
Expo is Africa’s largest gathering of buyers and sellers that represent the
entire built environment value chain. We are extremely proud to present WoodEX
for Africa, which is firmly established as the continent’s leading timber industry
showcase, at the same time and location as African Construction Expo. We
believe this partnership will offer our exhibitors and visitors an ideal
platform to do business, network and learn.”

The African Construction Expo, is the only event in Africa that brings together
over 9,000 stakeholders involved in construction and infrastructure projects in
Africa. With over 250 exhibitors featured across the indoor and outdoor
exhibition, African Construction Expo offers access to the most innovative building
materials and technologies in Africa. The expo provides workshops, trainings,
demonstrations and other interactive features that facilitate commercial
networking opportunities and drive private and public sector
collaboration. 

Devi Paulsen, Vice President of dmg events South Africa, says “We are very
excited about the co-location of WoodEX for Africa with African
Construction Expo next year. Not only will it see two large scale events
collaborating to create an exceptional experience of value for our attendees
but it also allows us to create a platform that allows for more engagement and
solid business opportunities across a wider range of sectors. This means
visitors and exhibitors are able to save time and effortlessly conduct more
business over the three days than ever before.”   

Together the expos offer added exposure for exhibitors and visitors in the
various industries – from machinery, tools and equipment, fits and finishes,
components, new technology and materials to concrete and cement, surfaces and
finishes, digital construction and construction.
