The 25th BATIMAT is due to take place from 7-12 Nov/05 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The spotlight will be on Sustainable Development, with a packed programme of special events & talks on the subject. BATIMAT will bring together just over 2,700 exhibitors (manufacturers rather than retailers) over an area of more than 130,000 sq. metres. The most significant increases have been in the Roofing, Insulation, Doors & Windows, Painting, IT & Intelligent Building sectors. BATIMAT will be the world's biggest showcase for building equipment, materials & services, including some 900 new products, many of which will feature in the Innovation Competition & the Design Awards. This edition promises to be more international than ever, with 30% of the space (about 40,000 sq. metres) reserved by international manufacturers. See: www.batimat.com
