DAVAO CITY – The biggest exposition of construction and machinery products will open on Friday, September 8, at the SMX Convention Center where 600 brands will be on showcase.
This will be the 8th exposition launched by PhilConstruct and the 11th for the Machinery show outside of Metro Manila, said Patrick Lawrence Tan, chief executive officer of Globalink Events International, Inc.

Tan said it will be the first in Davao City to put up an outdoor display of 70 huge types of machinery and construction equipment, which are brought in from Manila, China, South Korea, Germany, and Europe.
These are the latest equipment that will be shown to the contractors to see the actual machinery that they might be interested to acquire, Tan told reporters during the business forum at DermPath on Tuesday.
