The sixth Guangzhou International Aggregates, Quarrying Tailings, and Construction Waste Disposal Exhibition was held from Aug 11 to 13 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex.

Covering an overall exhibition area of 50,000 square meters, the event gathered more than 450 companies and attracted around 40,000 professional visitors.

Aggregates are important raw materials used in large infrastructure and the demand for aggregates is typically aligned with the speed of economic development.

As one of the three major exhibitions on mining equipment in China, the event displayed various kinds of exhibits covering the upstream and downstream of the industry, such as concrete mixers, pumping equipment, mixing plants, surface treatment equipment, as well as environmental protection equipment.

Luo Yikun, general manager of Shenyang Shunda Heavy Mining Machinery Co Ltd, expressed optimism about the future development of the industry and said that the company was expecting to procure deals with six purchasing companies.

At the exhibition, experts said that Hong Kong, Macao, and the Pearl River Delta will see growing links in areas like industry and transportation due to increasing demand in infrastructure construction in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. 

A symposium on machine-made aggregates was also held during the exhibition as they have been popular in recent years to better push forward the high-quality development of the Greater Bay Area.
