CEA Pavilion Intermat Preview
The CEA in conjuction with UKTI has succesfully organised a ‘high impact’ UK Pavilion at the forthcoming Intermat exhibition which takes place in Paris from 16th – 21st April this year. The dedicated Pavilion will feature more than 20 UK exhibitors comprising construction companies, industry suppliers and UK associations.
Intermat is a leviathan of an exhibition which attracts over 1,470 exhibitors from around the world and where the smaller exhibitor might otherwise get lost in the show’s enormity without the umbrella of a high profile area devoted to UK industry. The CEA has taken the strain out of exhibiting at a show of this size and offers exhibitors a cost effective fully managed, fitted turnkey shell scheme stand freeing up exhibitors to do what they do best – selling!
At the last Intermat show (2009) the event was visited by 84,000 visitors from 162 different countries. 48% of the visitors that attended the show do not visit any other exhibitions making it an excellent prospect for UK exhibitors to get in front of potential new customers and ‘fly the flag’ for Britain!
Joanna Oliver MBE, director of Global Programmes at the CEA and organiser of the UK Pavilion at Intermat said, “It’s great that we are able to help so many UK companies at Intermat. Even better that we can do it with the support of UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) both for exhibitors and for the CEA to run the UK Pavilion and generic UK Information Centre to promote UK Construction equipment. Some of the Pavilion exhibitors are pretty new to export and some old hands – that’s part of what makes the UK Pavilions a success for the exhibitors – everyone is willing to share experiences, export tips and contacts and lend each other a hand where needed.
This year we are working with UKTI to promote the UK Exhibitors at Intermat and to run a meet the buyer programme of meetings with Intermat visitors from target market countries like Brazil, China and India.
In the next 12 months the CEA will run UK Pavilions at Future Mongolia, M&T Expo Brazil, Bauma China, bCIndia and Bauma. Come and visit us on the CEA UK Information Centre in Hall 6 stand H13 to learn more about how the CEA can help your company to export.”
Air-Seal Products is making its second appearance at Intermat having first exhibited in 2009. The company will be showing its range of pre-puncture tyre sealants which provide immediate protection to the tread area from punctures up to 30mm (1¼ inches) along with most other slow air leaks. Air-Seal’s tyre sealants have been successfully used in many types of vehicles; for example, tyres for HGV’s , loading shovels, dump trucks, skidsteers and other heavy plant right down to the essential wheelbarrow. The company’s contracts range from waste management companies and construction firms through to road haulage and a number of armed forces worldwide. It also has a five year exclusive supply agreement with the UK’s Royal Mail Postal delivery service.
Air-Seal report that operational efficiency is improved by reducing costly downtime for idle machines and labour and a single treatment can cost less than the full cost of one tyre repair and lasts the legal life of the tyre.
Alex Burnand, Air-Seal Products managing director said, “We are exhibiting in the CEA Pavilion because as members we like to support the CEA and taking a stand gives us a platform to export our products around the world and ensure that companies like ourselves are noticed. We hope to appoint a new multi-market, well connected organisation to represent our product lines professionally throughout mainland France and its outlying territories.
We shall be demonstrating our products on our stand by banging nails and spikes into a tyre so come and meet the Air-Seal Products team on stand number 6G015. Seeing is believing!”
Amber Valley is using Intermat on stand 6H011 to announce the European launch of its full range of Ecolarm’s environmentally friendly non bleeping alarms. They come in a range of db levels and with a range of features from night silent to reverse twice mute versions. There is also the Ecotalking alarm which can be used to warn people for whole range of problems.

Ashtree Glass will be showing a range of mirrors and mirror arms designed to meet, and according to Ashtree, surpass, the latest visibility requirements for telehandlers. This will see a move away from the wide angle “fish eye” type mirrors to “E” approved mirrors. As a manufacturer of mirrors Ashtree welcomes this move to standardise on European approved products rather than the current system where different interpretations are common.
Ashtree launched the first range of “E” approved mirrors in anticipation of these standards several years ago. Now the company is launching a range of mirror arms and mounting brackets to mount these mirrors in the best possible position to eliminate operator blindspots. As well as being tested, and already fitted, on OE machinery across Europe these products are readily available for use as replacements or upgrades for machinery already in service.
Ashtree Glass managing director Alan Roper said, “ With over 30 years’ experience, we now offer the most comprehensive range of mirrors and mirrors arms available today, including options such as heated mirrors and mirrors with unbreakable lenses. We can also design and develop bespoke products to meet exact customer specifications.
We are looking forward to seeing visitors at Intermat on our stand 6G002 to discuss any requirements you may have.”

Tata Steel, one of the world’s top ten steel companies, is making its Intermat debut on stand 6J019 in the UK Pavilion. The company offers a uniquely broad range of steel products and services, which according to Tata Steel, make doing business with the company easier.
Last year Tata Steel invested £8 million in its specialist steels Clydebridge plant in Glasgow, increasing the plant’s capacity to produce the premium quality high-strength steel plate, essential for lifting and excavating industries, by up to 50%.
Tata Steel claim to be more than the just a steel producer in that they provide a range of steel processing services with added value offering a solution-based approach. Carlo Di Terlizzi brand and marcoms manager at Tata Steel for lifting and excavating said, “We are both a steel producer and a steel processor. This means we can take complexity out of the supply chain for our key OEM and subcontractor customers, which allows them to focus on their core business of building construction equipment.”
Tata Steel’s continuous investment in advanced downstream processing facilities at our service centres gives the company the capability to supply steel cut and finished to exact size, shape and specification. This reduces the time it takes to get material into customers’ production cycles and cuts operating expenses and material waste.”
Di Terlizzi concluded, “We help our customers build better vehicles through providing engineering, design support and advice on the best use of steel in their equipment, something we call Early Vendor Involvement. This means that the vehicle can be optimised in terms of design, manufacturing and materials. It’s a holistic approach to our customers which offers greater efficiency: fewer parts, less steel, welding and cutting – which in turn can be more cost effective for the client.”
Webtec Products Ltd will be exhibiting their full range of hydraulic test equipment and hydraulic valves, designed for use in the construction machinery industry on Stand 6G004 in the UK Pavilion. Of particular note will be two new products, the HPM6000 hydraulic data logger with Intelligent Digital ™ flow & pressure sensors as well as the RFIK series of portable hydraulic testers.
According to Webtec the HPM6000 series is potentially the most powerful range of portable hydraulic data-loggers on the market. The range is designed for the hydraulic service engineer who needs advanced diagnostic features that allow the user to easily measure and record many hydraulic parameters, store them, analyse them and quickly share the results with colleagues and customers. The HPM6000 is the latest addition to the HPM series of hydraulic data-loggers.
Also new are the RFIK30 and RFIK60 mechanical hydraulic testers. The RFIK30 is ideal for hydraulic flow testing components with operating flows below 30 lpm, such as many hydraulic steering pumps on trucks, buses and large off-highway machinery.
