Video footage from the Intermat exhibition in Paris suggest that the crowds have yet to arrive.
Once every three years, the construction and demolition equipment makers of the world descend upon Paris for the Intermat exhbition. Although not quite in the same league as Germany’s Bauma exhibition, Intermat does provide a useful barometer of industry confidence. During boom times, the show’s aisles are filled with chequebook-wielding equipment buyers; during a recession, you can almost hear the tumbleweed blowing through the corridors of the Paris-Nord exhibition centre.
Judging by this series of videos shot on the first three days of the show – which is currently in progress – things are looking pretty bleak out there.
