GLE EXPO TO HIGHLIGHT AFRICAN VT MARKET
The African market will take center stage when the Global Lift & Escalator Expo (GLE Expo) debuts at Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa, on August 27-29, organizer Virgo Communications and Exhibition Pvt. Ltd. has announced. The continent’s infrastructure market is expected to reach $24.3 billion by 2020, and Virgo noted the demand for high-quality retail, housing, office and industrial space continues to outstrip supply. In response, African leaders have made infrastructure growth a pillar of their development strategies. GLE Expo 2019 Africa will present a platform for elevator, escalator, components and accessories manufacturers to showcase their products and technologies. Several industry leaders, including Schindler and South African Elevator Co. (SAEC), have already signed on, and the China Elevator Association has reserved a large pavilion for its member companies. Virgo Communications has been in the exhibition industry for more than 14 years, organizing numerous vertical-transportation (VT) expos and technical forums. Along with Elevator World, Inc., Virgo co-publishes ELEVATOR WORLD India.
