Showcase South African excellence at Intermat Paris 2027

Press Release – 30 June 2026

INTERMAT Paris, world construction capital in 2027:
leading industry names already signed up for this strategic gathering

With ten months to go before its next edition, the organisers of INTERMAT today paid tribute to the commitment and support of leading global machinery manufacturers who have already put their weight behind the event to showcase their innovations and demonstrate the central role of equipment and solutions to collectively build the conditions of a sustainable and operational transition.

This momentum is shared throughout the construction industry to demonstrate that solutions do already exist, are operational and can help to accelerate the low carbon transition and address societal change without compromising productivity and competitivity.

With 150,000 qualified visitors expected to attend, half of whom work for building contractors and have a decision making role, INTERMAT, which will be 2027’s largest gathering of building and civil works companies, stands out as the unmissable venue for top level business dealings.

The sector’s leading manufacturers will therefore be out in force to pit their innovations against real-world requirements, discuss their latest low-carbon and multi-fuel technologies and solutions and, naturally, showcase the performance of their equipment in true-to-life worksite conditions.

Among the leading firms that have already confirmed their participation in the show: AMMANN, DOOSAN BOBCAT, EPIROC, FAYAT, HIDROMEK, HITACHI, KOBELCO, KOMATSU, IMER, LIEBHERR, LIUGONG, MANITOU, SANY, SUNWARD, TAKEUCHI, VOLVO CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT, YANMAR, WACKER NEUSON and many more.

Three of these exhibitors share their thoughts on their decision to take part in the event:
