In addition to the APEX free conference, the annual Europlatform access rental conference will be held in Maastricht on the day before APEX (September 16), at the Grand Hotel de l'Empereur. This conference is jointly organised by Access International and the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF). The theme of the conference is 'The access rental company of the future'. Beijing Jingcheng Heavy Industry Co. Ltd. is a Chinese access platforms manufacturer who will introduce their 32 m self-propelled boom lift and 10 m self-propelled scissor lift to the European market. "It is the first time we exhibit at an European exhibition", says Yu Furong, manager of International trade department of Beijing Jingcheng Heavy Industry Co. Ltd. "APEX is the most professional exhibition regarding access equipment, and we hope to meet more people from Europe who are specialized in access platforms to expand our network of dealers and distributors." "It is important for us to be present at the most important exhibition in Europe! All the main telehandler manufactures will be there and we think is a great chance for us to show our wide range of products", says Stefano Frigo, Export Area manager of Faresin, Italy. "We strongly hope our participation will help to improve our market network and hopefully to find new partners but also to meet our dealers and customers." At APEX, Faresin is going to show the 6.25 Wallaby, the smallest telescopic handlers on the market and the 18.45 Storm, a rotating machine. Beside that, they will present news about their after sales services and improvements within their company since they merged with Faresin Agri Division.
