International Owner’s Investment Boosts Leading African PVP Expo

19 gen 2017
The new owners of one of Africa’s biggest trade shows will have a new international and educational focus when it opens in Johannesburg next year

Pumps, Valves & Pipes Africa 2017 (PVP 2017), presented by INDUTEC, is the largest and most comprehensive trade-show dedicated to the conveyance of liquids, gasses and slurries.

Brad Hook is the organiser dmg-ems Africa’s Commercial Director and he says that 2017 brings a fresh approach for the show at The Gallagher Conference Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa, from May 17 to 19.

“The show, along with a portfolio of events, was acquired in March by dmg events ME - one of the world’s leading exhibition organisers,” says Hook.

“Development and investment are part of dmg’s strategy and PVP 2017 will benefit hugely. This is the 10th edition of the show, which is part of INDUTEC a well-established expo South African expo that attracts visitors and exhibitors from around the world.”

“This a key foundation for the show’s expansion,” Hook told Pumps & Valves Africa. “We will also look at certified professional development (CPD) recognition for each seminar, in line with dmg’s policy of supporting career progression for delegates.”

Hook said that PVP 2017, which will also host a conference with leading industry speakers, will focus on the five key areas of the market:

•  Water Tech

This vital resource needs increasingly sophisticated management to meet the continent’s future demands

•  Energy

To meet demand in the oil, gas & petrochem sector for economic pumping and transport solutions to capitalise on the continent’s reserves.

•  Infrastructure

New government backed developments mean expertise is required across a diverse range - from the transportation of liquid concrete to sewage.

 Agriculture

Mechanisation and population growth is increasing demand for the latest pump and pipeline technology.

•  Extractive industries

Africa is a world player now demanding the efficient solutions from oil and gas transportation to mining.

“These are the key growth and investment areas across southern Africa and under new ownership dmg has identified the markets and the visitors, buyers and specifiers, which we will match with the pumps, valves and pipes supply chains,” says Hook.

“And all of this is tied to the future economic success of the continent. In the energy sector, oil and gas production are vital for growth, while across the extractive sector cost-effective solutions are vital.”
