The show is co-located with Interbuild, Africa’s
largest construction and building services exhibition,
which this year celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Several exhibitors have indicated that they will have new
technology on show, alongside the running of various
competitions. In addition, the PIRB has confirmed that
three CPD points are up for grabs to everyone who takes
part in the ‘CPD Hunt’, which can be downloaded from
the plumbing app.
PLUMBDRAIN Africa has a reputation for showcasing
the latest innovations in products and services that
adopt eco-friendly technologies, which help create
sustainable changes in the industry. Seminars and
workshops educate the audience about new products
and solutions in the world of plumbing and offer
insights into new quality standards in the industry and
relevant updated legislation.
As the only dedicated plumbing, drainage, sanitation, water,
and sanitaryware exhibition in Africa, this event covers all
aspects of plumbing, from commercial and industrial to
standard domestic plumbing products and services.
Live demos and hands-on training give exhibitors
an edge to market their products to the industry
effectively. The organisers urge all exhibitors to create
interactive stands that will encourage professionals
and trades to experience and understand the material
fittings and technology that is on offer, coinciding
with the mandatory standards that apply to plumbing
and affording great plumbing practices the attention
it deserves.
Exhibitors at the show cover a broad spectrum of
products and services, including:
• Pumps and pump technology
• Geysers and hot water systems
• Solar heating and
