UK Dorset-based EPM Agency will design and build a new exhibition space totalling 4,000sqm for construction and excavation machinery manufacturer Kobelco.
The size of the space means that 25 items of Kobelco’s specialist machinery can be displayed on site, weighing over 600 metric tons in an area larger than that of three Olympic-sized swimming pools.
The space will also include a purpose-built double-decker building structure, incorporating a 150-cover fully operational VIP restaurant. Two fully equipped kitchens and an outdoor walk-in refrigeration unit for cold food storage will support the restaurant.
There will also be an outside bar area and two shops on site for fans of Kobelco to purchase branded merchandise assembled in the space.
While the space has taken 10 months to design and plan, the assembly will take place over five weeks. Kobelco's customers and fans will then be able to peruse the exhibition space at construction trade fair Bauma, in Munich, Germany, 24-30 October 2022.
EPM Agency will next be focusing on a modern-designed exhibition stand for Yanmar Marine for the boot Düsseldorf boat show in January 2023, as well as working with a client for Sibos, the global financial services event.
