The CEA (3418 Construction Equipment Association) is to highlight the importance of the construction sector to the UK economy in an Industry Showcase at the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) HQ in London.
The showcase from 14-25 May, 2012, will also promote the forthcoming3579 PLANTWORX construction machinery exhibition.
Minister of State for Business and Enterprise, Mark Prisk MP, will be attending the showcase on Wednesday May 16th from 11am – 12noon to talk to participating companies.
The Construction Equipment industry contributes £8.5billion to the UK economy. Furthermore, the UK is the second largest net exporter of construction equipment in the world, with over 75% of products manufactured in the UK being exported to 150 countries worldwide.
Participating companies who will have machinery and equipment on display at the showcase include2294 CAT/299 Perkins, CESAR/5463 Datatag, 255 JCB, 736 Nylacast, 5464 Taylor Construction Plant, 1222 Terex and 2300 Komatsu.
The CESAR anti-theft scheme, delivered by Datatag, will also be a key feature to the showcase. The5462 CESAR Scheme was the construction industry’s response to the high levels of plant theft in this country. Five-years on from its inception, there are around 70,000 CESAR registered and marked machines, and what used to be a recovery rate of 5% of stolen plant is now up to 28%.
Construction machinery scale models will also be on display and an interactive competition will encourage visitors to participate to identify the data dot and win one of the models. A construction industry crossword puzzle has also been devised to test visitor knowledge of the construction equipment industry, while offering an opportunity to win a model digger.
