Long history of SibBuild Exhibition, which started over 20 years ago, allowed it to become a showcase for construction projects held in Novosibirsk, the capital of the Siberian Federal District, at the beginning of the construction season – in late January and early February.

For the first time heating, water supply, ventilation, and air conditioning engineering equipment, which was formerly demonstrated during the second SibBuild week, will be exhibited as part of a separate exhibition Aqua-Therm Novosibirsk 2014 scheduled for February 19-21.

‘No doubt SibBuild is a unique event for the Siberian Construction market,’ said Director of the Exhibition Maksim Safronov. ‘Construction is a catalyst of development for the economy of many Siberian regions, and the regional officials have been voicing their plans for continuing the development of the region’s infrastructure. In late 2013 and early 2014 we received information about starting new large investment projects in the Novosibirsk Region supported by the state authorities: such as constructing several key industrial, social, and cultural facilities (regional oncological centre, wheat-processing plant, a new two-level motorway at the Industrial and Logistic Park area, new buildings for two theatres and a regional library, 20 sports facilities etc.). SibBuild is the only event allowing specialists to see technologies and materials to be used for the construction of new buildings that will be visited by thousands of city-dwellers in the future.’ List of SibBuild 2014 participants includes such major companies as “BEKA Rus”, Siegenia, AGC Glass, Elumatec, “Alutech-Siberia”, “Hercules-Siberia”, Aereco, KNAUF, ROCKWOOL, “Achinsk Cement”, “Ruukki Rus”, “Bina Group”, “Forpost”, “First Bastion”, Joris Ide, “Selena East”, “Basf Construction Systems”, and others.

It is the first time Italy has its national pavilion at SibBuild: Association of Italian suppliers of plant, machinery, equipment, semi-finished products, raw materials and services for the ceramic, heavy clay and refractories industries (ACIMAC) united 8 companies operating in this industrial sector that will present their products during the first exhibition week.

Besides, the second week of SibBuild – 2014will also feature foreign companies presenting their exhibits in the “Doors” Section for the first time: you will see products from Securemme Company (Italy), Combi (Italy), Trade Lock / Kale (Turkey).

Russian companies taking part in SibBuild Exhibition will also bring in some good news for the construction market: for example, the participation of “Hercules Siberia” Company, general partner of the event, is especially significant this year, since the company has opened a new construction-mix factory in Novosibirsk.   

“Robiteks” Company will present its new product – a combined multi-purpose vapor-permeable tape that ensures ventilation of joints, prevents moisture from getting inside joints and allows water contained inside mounting joints to exit in gaseous state.  

LLC “Casting and Pressing Factory “Segal”” will present a new system of fireproof façades and partitions as well as updated systems of balcony glass panels.

The subject of fire safety will be raised by the display stand of “ProfSystems” Company, which will demonstrate its fire-protective translucent structures made of steel profile systems, fireproof windows, doors, gates, hatches as well as entrance doors, fireproof coatings, fire-fighting equipment and inventory.
