Asansor Istanbul, the international elevator and escalator exhibition, returns to the Tuyap Fair and Congress Center next year, running from 6 to 9 May. The fair is organised by Informa Markets with the support of AYSAD, the Turkish elevator and escalator industry association, and the organiser states that this will be the twentieth edition.
Exhibits cover complete lift and escalator systems, control and drive technology, cables, guide rails, doors and cabin components, together with the installation and maintenance services that sit around them. Turkey is one of the larger component manufacturing bases in the sector, and the fair is where that manufacturing base meets specifiers and contractors from the surrounding construction markets.
The audience matters more than the exhibit list for anyone deciding whether to attend. Vertical transportation is specified early in a building programme and rarely revisited, so the buyers on this floor are developers, main contractors and building services consultants rather than end users.
The organiser and the venue operator are separate companies here, which makes the two date surfaces independent of each other.
