This year’s event, held every four years, will showcase the largest number of new products on the one site, according to exhibition director John Gorton.

“At this year’s show we have suppliers from all over Australia, as well as the Philippines, the US and Poland,” Gorton said.

“Bringing the exhibition to the Valley enables those working at the major mines and power stations to meet with a wide range of suppliers under the one roof. With time a precious commodity, holding the event in the Valley ensures that professionals working in the region are given the same opportunities as their capital city counterparts, without having to travel.”
