Exhibitors at APEX include Dingli, Genie, Haulotte, JLG, Manitou, Niftylift, Palfinger, Skyjack and XCMG. Among the companies attending IRE are Himoinsa, JCB, Kaeser, Pramac, Sany, Trackunit and Wacker Neuson.
IPAF, the official partner for APEX, will have an indoor stand and a live demonstration site in the outside area of APEX. The partner for IRE is the European Rental Association (ERA), which will also co-locate its 20th annual convention at the MECC venue, on 3 and 4 June. The European Rental Awards dinner will be held on 3 June.
For the first time there will be a conference theatre in the indoor area offering visitors free presentations on new products and technology being launched at the shows.
Tony Kenter, managing director of Industrial Promotions International (IPI), the organiser of the two shows alongside KHL Group, said; “We are delighted by the early take-up of exhibition space at both shows. It highlights how important the rental industry is to suppliers.
