The Mobile Centre of Excellence attracted experts from across the industry with visitors including directors, owners and quarry managers from some of the biggest quarrying and agriculture companies across the world. Offering visitors a hands-on experience with product displays from 16 of its key suppliers, including 3M, Norgren and Roebuck, the Mobile Centre of Excellence displayed interactive videos and working demonstration rigs.

Presenting its latest innovations in mechanical power transmissions, energy efficiency and hydraulic systems through the Mobile Centre of Excellence, Brammer also showed how it can reduce the total acquisition costs and working capital of businesses in the industry, improving production efficiency.

Brammer supported the exhibition through its sponsorship of the Hillhead Café and the event’s car park and buses, shuttling visitors to and from the event.
