Western Global thought the show itself was fantastic, all credit to the organizers. They were thrilled to meet all the visitors to their stand from many different countries, from all over Africa and the Middle East, who showed particular interest in their Transtainer. They were able to discuss with these visitors their vast experience at Global Export, experience spanning 50 years. Western Global tanks and bowsers have a robust design, products are tried and tested and they come with a 3 year warranty.

The company was formed in 1962 in the UK, originally manufacturing trailers. Western has expanded over the years and is now established in 7 countries, including America and Canada. All Western’s products not only meet the stringent test criteria of ADR and UN, they’ve also been tested to meet, and in many cases exceed, the specific requirements.

Renowned globally for their “Transcube” a unique fuel cube that can be transported on the highway filled with fuel, and meet the stringent requirements of the ADR regulations, available in capacities from 250lt to 3000lt. Western Global hope visitors enjoyed their visit to their stand, they look forward to building new relationships with them, and to their next visit to Bauma.

John White of Western Global advises that when buying tanks and bowsers consumers should be looking for an Environmental Compliance Certification. The company you are purchasing from should offer high levels of after sales and technical support, just as Western Global does, along with client consultation.

EBAWE Anlagentechnik GmbH

EBAWE

EBAWE is a full service provider with their head quarters based in Germany. They plan, develop and automate production plants for the precast concrete industry supplying not only complete production plants but also single components such as shuttering robots, battery moulds, reinforcement machinery and much more.

They design and plan every plant tailor-made for the client’s specific requirements taking into account the available budget and special environmental influences the country may have. Accordingly, every plant is unique and perfectly adapted to the needs and demands of the particular customer.

Their business is built on deep-seated expertise, innovation and, above all, on satisfied customers, which is the secret behind the success and growth of their group of companies. Annually, they manufacture in the region of ten large plants, in addition to a variety of stand-alone machinery and equipment. And they have been manufacturing precast concrete products for 50 years.

Moreover, EBAWE Anlagentechnik GmbH is a subsidiary company of the PROGRESS Group. The core competences of the four mechanical engineering companies are the design and manufacture of turnkey precast concrete plants – equipped with carrousel systems, machinery and plant for the processing of reinforcement steel off the coil as well as additional equipment for the production of diverse concrete parts.

The most important thing when purchasing a precast plant is the knowledge of the precast products the client wants to manufacture. It is important to know the types of elements, the dimensions and the necessary capacity of the plant. If already available a housing project would be most interesting for the preparation of a tender.

CIFA

CIFA

AT Bauma Africa, CIFA is looking with KEEN attention AT development of THE African market. Taking part in the first edition of Bauma in South Africa is a move to bring closer to all African customers their machinery for the construction industry.

According to CIFA ‘s communication and promotion Manager Vito Minunni reports indicate Africa has been growing at an average annual growth rate of 7.8percent in terms of construction investment in the past 5 years, which is more than the trends shown by BRIC countries. Armed with this information, CIFA has appointed new dealers in the last year in Ghana, Sierra Leone and Equatorial Guinea. With the support of Zoomlion Heavy Industry, the Chinese industrial group which acquired CIFA in 2008, they are planning to appoint new dealers also in other emerging countries in the Sub-Saharan area.

Their sentiment is that Bauma Africa has been a success and for sure they will consider other participation in other exhibitions all around the African continent
