| Concepto Baño and Pintudecora to debut at Construmat 2007  The 15th Construmat, International Construction Show organised by Fira de Barcelona, will be held from the 14th to the 19th of May 2007 in the Montjuïc and Gran Vía exhibition centre. The latter will have two new pavilions in addition to the four already operational. The overall net exhibition space of the two venues could exceed 150.000 m². Construmat 2007 will host the first ever Concepto Baño, International Bathroom Show, which was created as a trade fair platform for sanitary ware, taps, fittings and bathroom furniture. Along the same lines, Construmat will also incorporate Pintudecora, International Paint Show, which will showcase products from the paint and related services sector.Construmat 2007 will host a new edition of APTM which, on this occasion will focus on "Multi-habitats: polyvalent housing"; and also Casa Barcelona, the avant-garde architectural space which uses prototypes to show the results of the work done jointly by leading manufacturers and prestigious architects. The sector dedicated to Sustainable Building will be very important in Construmat 2007. Renewable energies and their use in housing, the application of the Technical Building Code and other environmental regulations will play an important role, both practical and theoretical, at the next Construmat. Pilar Navarro has been appointed new director of Construmat to replace Gonzalo Sanz, who will continue to be linked to the show as director of Fira de Barcelona's Professional-Industrial Trade Shows. The previous Construmat, held in April 2005, featured 2,134 exhibitors from 53 countries and recorded 265,000 visits. It is estimated that it generated 200 million euros worth of business for the city of Barcelona and the surrounding area, especially in restaurant, hotel and transport services. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
