NIIEX - EVENT REVIEW


Irish eyes were certainly smiling at the country’s leading expo


NORTHERN Ireland and Ireland’s recycling event of the year was held last month at the EIKON Exhibition Centre, and NIIEX was attended by world leaders in the sector such as JCB and TEREX. The two-day show included outdoor demonstrations and seminars which included Iveco Ltd’s Alternative Fuels Director Martin Flach. The event was designed to bring together Ireland’s impressive list of waste and recycling designers, and machinery manufacturers.

David Hyde, Sales Manager at Macpac Refuge Bodies and Stewart Commercials, said: “We’re a commercial vehicle maintenance department in Antrim – one of the biggest brands we work for is Macpac Refuge Bodies. “Since 2006, Stewart Commercials has been designing and manufacturing Macpac’s vehicles from scratch in Antrim, and for NIIEX we’ve been showcasing a compaction vehicle and glass-tipping vehicle. In October, this will be taken on by Belfast City Council.” Stewart Commercials are agents for Wolverhampton-based skip loader manufacturer Boughton Engineering Ltd. The famed West Midlands company’s partnership with Stewart Commercials allows Boughton products to become the envy of many within Ireland. The Antrim fi rm are also Irish agents for Belgian company VDK, and have taken seven recent orders for food-waste trucks, which run on an Iveco chassis and bio-gas. David added: “Working with bio-gas makes it a circular economy: the trucks carry the food- waste to an AD (anaerobic digestion) plant – and the plant breaks down the material to create bio-fuel which runs the truck.”


 NORTHERN Ireland's fi nest venue, the EIKON


NIIEX also played host to exhibitors from the south such as Dublin-based McHale Plant Sales Limited. The company have a strong position in the waste and recycling industry after supporting leading brands such as TEREX Ecotec and Komatsu Europe. General Manager of McHale Plant Sales, Denis McGrath said: “NIIEX allowed us to present our machines from the TEREX Ecotec range such as their material handler. On the outside area, we showed our industry-leading slow-speed shredder.


Northern Ireland is crucial to the waste and recycling manufacturing base not just for the UK, but also Europe.


“On the indoor display we took visitors through our TEREX Ecotec range of slow, medium and high-speed trommels.” G.M. Denis agreed Northern Ireland is crucial to the waste and recycling manufacturing base not just for the UK, but also Europe. MT Waste Management and Manufacturing Ltd’s Michael Masterson took NIIEX exhibitors and attendees through the company’s products, including the company’s roll-on roll-off skips and tipping bins - with a view to increase collaboration


with new and existing customers. Michael said: “At the moment, NIIEX is the only waste and recycling show for both Northern Ireland and Ireland, and it has great potential to be huge for suppliers and manufacturers to get together all under one roof.” Organised by Raymond Martin and Peter Johnston of Bangor-based Greenbridge Innovations (below Left), NIIEX met the needs of the country’s impressive waste and recycling manufacturing base. NIIEX organiser Raymond said: “Our show is a presentation of the waste industry in Ireland for both north and south. “We obviously want attendees to view the new technologies available to buy, rent or hire, but as well as that we want the likes of TEREX and JCB to work together. The reason for this is Ireland is such an important place in Europe’s waste industry and across the globe. “The Northern Ireland area has the technologies to progress even further – I believe this can only be done if the fi rms cooperate. “As well as global reach, we want the people of both northern and southern Ireland to know this technology is accessible locally and they don’t have to travel too far to see them in operation.”
