Offaly to host irelands largest quarrying machinery show

Ireland’s largest Construction and Quarrying Machinery Show(CQMS) is coming to Molloy’s Quarry in Tullamore this April.

The two-day event will feature over €50 million worth of construction and quarrying machinery and equipment when it’s held on April 17 and 18.

Launching the show today, Construction Industry Federation Director General Tom Parlon said “activity in the construction industry is closely related to the country’s general economic performance.  All the indicators suggest the economy will see further growth this year, which is a positive signal for how the construction sector will perform.”

“The expectation throughout the industry is that the boost in activity experienced in 2014 will increase further in the next 12 months with a wide range of significant projects moving on site.  As construction companies start to shake off the financial limitations caused by the downturn, the increased activity and improved cash flows will lead to a stronger demand for new construction equipment and machinery.  For that reason CQMS ‘15 is a very timely event, providing contractors of all sizes with the opportunity to see the latest advancements in construction equipment before they make their purchases.”

CQMS ’15 is set to showcase some €50million of construction and quarrying machinery with over 100 exhibitors and a large demonstrative arena.

Event Organiser and publisher of Machinery Movers Magazine Brian Coogan believes that the time is right for a show of this calibre as there is an appetite for moving forward once again within the industry.
