SPAIN – Expectations are high for the launch of the first edition of Promat, the new materials and technology for construction and renovation trade fair, which takes place at Feria Valencia from 22^nd to 24^thFebruary.

PROMAT 2017, a trade only show, has been strategically timed to take place alongside two highly specialized fairs, Cevisama and Espacio Cocina – SICI, with which it shares synergies in terms of visitor profiles. Located in Feria Valencia’s Pavilion 8, access will be directly through the North Forum (Foro Norte).

With still a month to go before it opens its doors and with 74 leading industry brands signed up as exhibitors, PROMAT is in the way of fulfilling its objective of being an exclusive showcase that will give visitors access to the very latest innovations in materials and technology for renovations and construction.

The flooring sector will be a major part of the PROMAT showcase. Options such as laminates, synthetics, natural wood, composites and plastics for both interiors and exteriors, will all be well represented.

In fact, almost half of the offering at this first edition of PROMAT will consist of these products with exhibitors including top brands such as Faus, Kronotex, Parador, Lamiplast, Grosfillex, Tarimatec, Bariperfil, Wood Plastic and Mediterranean Wood Floor, amongst others. These companies will be showing highly innovative products, presenting visiting renovation, construction and contract professionals with an extensive range of technical flooring featuring the very highest specifications.

PROMAT will also be showing a very select range of construction materials and components, courtesy of manufacturers such as Sonae Arauco, Grupo Puricelli, Barinsa, Cantisa, ThyssenKrupp, Servicanto, Top Form and Mecakim – Dekustik, whilst other exhibitors will be offering core products and services – from the latest in doors from Marcos Martínez Minguela and Imadeco for instance, to solutions in wood from Gabarró, HoltzDesign and Vamp Concept. These are very diverse sectors where customised service tailored to the project in hand is particularly important and the exclusive, selective format adopted by PROMAT is the ideal environment for exhibitors from these sectors to make direct contact with specifiers.

Companies from highly innovative sectors such as surface finishes will also be a significant presence, with names such as Akzo Nobel, IVM, Rubio Monocoat, Valresa, ICA Group and Bona amongst the exhibitors. Technological services will also be well represented, with exhibitors including major global operators Homag, SCM Ibérica, Biesse and Preziss.
