Motor City has signed up as a major sponsor for the Gulf Construction Expo 2017 (formerly gulfBID), the Northern Gulf’s showcase for the building and construction sector.

The international expo will run from April 25 to 27 at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre under the patronage of Bahrain’s Prime Minister, HRH Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa.

An agreement cementing the partnership was signed by Dr Bijan Majidi, the senior general manager of Motor City, and Jubran Abdulrahman, the managing director of Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions (HCE), the event’s organiser.

Motor City is the sole distributor for Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), the world’s largest shipbuilder and manufacturer of plant and machinery.

Hyundai’s product line up will form a major feature of the Motor City stand at the expo. HHI offers wide range of hydraulic excavators, wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, skid steer loaders and industrial vehicles. 

“Our presence with Hyundai Heavy Industries at the Gulf Construction Expo is an occasion to present latest generation of construction and industrial vehicles to the key players of this industry,” said Dr Majidi.

Abdulrahman said: “Plant and machinery is the backbone of the construction sector. Motor City’s support of this sector will highlight the important part that plant and machinery plays in the construction and infrastructure projects in the region.”

“As organisers, we are excited that the products of one of world’s biggest construction equipment and manufacturer, Hyundai, will be at Gulf Construction Expo,” he added.

Gulf Construction Expo is strategically sponsored by the Haji Hassan Group.
