Today, the show opens a new page in its history and joins BATIMAT in 2024 in order to create the most important event in the carpentry and metalwork sector and to bring together everyone's strengths.
This new dynamic, driven by RX and all of the professional partner organizations of the EQUIPBAIE-METALEXPO show, will be effective in 2024.
A sector at the heart of the challenges of the construction sector
This new dynamic allows ÉQUIPBAIE-MÉTALEXPO to be at the heart of new challenges in the building and construction sector (renovation and energy sobriety, decarbonization of construction processes and methods, etc.) and changes in professions and working methods.
Its integration within BATIMAT will also give it the opportunity to reach a much wider target of professionals including specifiers (engineers, architects, decorators, etc.) while capitalizing on its core target, manufacturers and specialist installers carpenters, metalworkers , coming in large numbers to BATIMAT. Indeed, BATIMAT already attracts 1/3 of specialized companies in France as well as more than 30.000 generalist installers and independent craftsmen.
ÉQUIPBAIE-MÉTALEXPO will also benefit from the strong synergy that exists between the various exhibitions of the Mondial du Bâtiment (BATIMAT, INTERCLIMA AND IDEOBAIN), a true global platform bringing together specialized universes. It will reinforce, because of its presence and its notoriety, the power of the Mondial du Bâtiment.
A living room in the living room
ÉQUIPBAIE-MÉTALEXPO will have a dedicated hall and its own visual identity within BATIMAT in 2024. A specific program will be developed to meet the expectations of specialized professionals in the sector, exhibitors and visitors. It will include visitor trails, workshops, events, conferences… reflecting the richness of this sector and the particularly attractive offer of exhibitors.
As in previous editions of ÉQUIPBAIE-MÉTALEXPO, this program will be co-constructed by RX and all of the show's partner professional organisations.
For Guillaume Loizeaud, RX France Construction Division Director: “It is once again thanks to the relationship and the collaborative work with the organizations of the FFB window division that we are going to open a new chapter in the development of EQUIPBAIE-METALEXPO; this new strategy positions the show in a new larger whole and will allow us to occupy a unique position in France and in Europe. »
For Christophe Bieber, President Union des Métiers du Bois: “ÉQUIPBAIE-MÉTALEXPO is the opportunity to highlight the wood & mixed wood aluminum window. It is a preferred solution for reducing the carbon impact of constructions while providing uncompromising AEVM, thermal and acoustic performance in tailor-made, new construction and renovation. This is a unique opportunity for everyone involved in the construction industry. »
For Bruno CADUDAL, UFME President: “The marriage of ÉQUIPBAIE with BATIMAT was a request from the show's partner professional organisations. The window is an inseparable component of the Building. It is therefore obvious and logical that ÉQUIPBAIE should join the Mondial du Bâtiment through BATIMAT. The complementarity of these shows can only meet the expectations of visitors and exhibitors. »
For Bruno Léger, President SNFA: "Once again, the professional organizations of the FFB Window Pole have worked together, hand in hand, to think about the evolution of ÉQUIPBAIE-MÉTALEXPO and find the best solution guaranteeing the future of this specialized show, so popular with pros. There is no doubt that joining BATIMAT will create a new dynamic and encourage the development of the number of exhibitors and visitors for ÉQUIPBAIE-MÉTALEXPO. »
For Yannick Michon, President of Groupe Actibaie: “For its next edition, the ÉQUIPBAIE-MÉTALEXPO trade show will join forces with BATIMAT to create a real construction world where the carpentry and closing trades will have a place of honor. This new formula will be an opportunity to bring together all the players in the sector: from the architect, to the installer of the product, including the manufacturers. We look forward to seeing you all there in 2024.”
For Franck Perraud, President of the Union of Metalworkers: “We are very happy that MÉTALEXPO is joining BATIMAT in 2024. This is a good illustration of the scale that our show has taken on and its new dimension. We are certain that this new format will allow the metalwork to participate fully in a new dynamic within the building sector. It will also be an opportunity to meet a wider public of professionals and to introduce specifiers and architects to the richness and diversity of metalwork. »
