The Italian Trade Commission will present the latest information on Italian off-road construction machinery, components and attachments in booth #311 at AED’s CONDEX Show, January 16-17, 2007, at the Las Vegas Hilton in Las Vegas, Nevada. Booth visitors will learn about equipment manufactured for the construction, earthmoving, vegetation management, land clearing and demolition industries. They will also be able to obtain information on leading Italian equipment companies that are looking to expand distributorships and enhance sales potential in North America.

Italian producers are leading manufacturers and exporters of construction equipment serving markets in over 140 countries. COMAMOTER (the Italian Earthmoving Machinery Manufacturers Association) estimates that, for the year 2006, 667,000 tons of equipment and components will be manufactured in Italy, with 96% going to the export market. This amounts to a $5 billion dollar business driven by world-class companies. Italian equipment is known for innovation, precision engineering, and endurance under rigorous work conditions.
