Almost 200 suppliers will exhibit at the International Rental Exhibition (IRE) and the key international access event APEX in MECC Maastricht, The Netherlands.

As many as around 120 exhibitors at the aerial platform show APEX and 80 exhibitors at IRE will be present at the MECC Exhibition and Convention Centre.

They will provide visitors with a complete line up of aerial platforms, compact construction equipment and rental IT solutions. Many companies will display their latest battery powered equipment and tools.

Among suppliers at APEX will be Dingli, Genie, JLG, Haulotte, Holland Lift, Manitou, Riwal, Ruthmann, Skyjack, Snorkel, Versalift and XCMG.

IRE exhibitors will include Atlas Copco, Case Construction, Ditch Witch, Generac, Hitachi, JCB, Kaeser, Trackunit, Volvo CE and Yanmar CE.

IRE and APEX 2023 will be co-located with the European Rental Association Convention on 7 and 8 June, including the European Rental Awards on 7 June.

The two shows were last held in 2017, having been cancelled in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic.

Tony Kenter, Managing Director of Industrial Promotions International B.V (IPI), which is organising the exhibitions alongside KHL Group, said the shows’ programme and format were timely in light of current global challenges.

“The shows will help rental companies and contractors who are managing the transition to low-emission equipment.”

“At one convenient location, APEX and IRE will give equipment buyers the perfect snapshot of what is available.”

“At the same time, IRE will showcase the latest digital technology, including telematics solutions and rental management software, that are becoming essential tools for today’s rental companies and contractors.”
