One of the most important shows on the international calendar behind Bauma, Intermat will be held at the 375,00 sqm Paris Nord, Villepinte, exhibition centre, which is close to the capitals Charles De Gaulle airport. A 30,000 sqm outdoor demonstration area is also provided, with many of the world’s top manufacturers showcasing new products that will be launched at this year’s show.

Here’s a flavour of the action from the last Intermat event which took place in 2009.

With over 1,470 exhibitors, 67% of whom are International and an expected international visitor influx of over 200,000, it promises to be a fantastic event.

Anyone who is anyone in the plant & machinery world will be attending the show and the Digger Blog will be covering the exhibition on our return from Paris. In the coming weeks however, I will be looking at some of the latest products that are being launched in a series of posts. So keep your eyes peeled to the Digger Blog.
