Doosan sells $2.7m machines at Intermat Middle East

Doosan Infracore Construction Equipment sold 10 machines worth over $2.7m at the Intermat Middle East held in Abu Dhabi in October.

While some at the show were critical of the total number of visitors, which they judged to be low, the organisers have heralded it as a success. More than 5,500 attendees visited the show across the three days, travelling to Abu Dhabi from around the Middle East, though event organisers had predicted that 7,000 would visit the show.

Nevertheless, many exhibitors were happy with the quality of the visitors.

"Intermat Middle East is a very successful event. We met excellent contractors from across the Middle East - UAE, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and others," said Gaby Rhayem, Doosan's regional director - Middle East.

Doosan had both an indoor stand with machines and an outdoor display, which proved to be a wise move, with temperatures outdoors reaching 40°.

"We were extremely fortunate to acquire great contacts with senior executives and decision-makers over the three days of the event. Doosan sold more than 10 machines valued at over Dhs10m during this exhibition, and we are certainly looking forward to participating next year as well."
