The 15th edition of SMOPYC, International Show of Public Works, Construction and Mining Machinery, to be held at the Zaragoza Trade Fair Center from 5 to 9 April 2011, will see a number of important changes and innovations.  Intensified international promotion, a new adjusted pricing policy and substantial improvements to facilities and services are just some of the initiatives being taken by the Steering Committee to ensure that SMOPYC 2011 is even more successful than previous editions.

USETEC, the world trade fair for used technology that celebrates its premiere in April 2011 in Cologne, has a new website. At usetec.com, detailed information about the trade fair for used technology for all sectors is now available in 19 languages. “We have been able to contribute our experience of over 16 years in the market”, says Florian Hess, Managing Director of USETEC organiser Hess GmbH. “We want to pick up exhibitors and visitors right at their doorstep. Detailed information about the USETEC concept in the mother tongue lowers the barrier for a trade fair participation in Germany significantly.”
