The Big 5 Construct Exhibition ended Thursday in Lagos with visitors at the event pouring out accolades on leading engineering construction company, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, for quality products on display during the three-day international meet.
Julius Berger had announced recently that its subsidiary companies will be participating at the landmark event. At the just concluded international exhibition, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc and its subsidiaries including Abumet (for premium aluminium and glass works), PrimeTech Design and Engineering, Julius Berger Piling and Geotechnical Services, Julius Berger Facility Management Works, as well as Julius Berger Idu Pre-cast Products were all in active participation.
While the Julius Berger brand is uniquely renowned for its extensive portfolio of highly successful engineering construction projects, and the company is now transforming into more than just a construction company that boasts of unique construction capabilities, project management expertise, and state-of-the-art engineering solutions that have solidified its position as a trusted and reliable partner for progress, its aluminium and glass subsidiary, Abumet, displayed outstanding designs, advanced fabrication techniques, offering sustainable solutions to clients’ needs.
Another subsidiary, PrimeTech displayed new and recently updated engineering and architectural designs including its comprehensive range of services, emphasising the company’s signature commitment to delivering efficient and sustainable solutions. PrimeTech’s service offerings include all structural, architectural, infrastructural, mechanical, electrical and pipe design and engineering services as well as work preparation and cost estimation services.
Julius Berger Piling and geotechnical services was not left out. The subsidiary displayed some of its products and interacted with visitors to the stand on its piling and geotechnical engineering services with available specialist services in consultancy of varying scope and complexity.
The expansive Julius Berger pavilion at the Big 5 exhibition also had another subsidiary participating. The Idu Precast Products situated in Abuja put on display samples of its block and concrete products all moulded to the acclaimed Julius Berger standard ensuring that they meet the most stringent engineering requirements to withstand every elemental impact.
The Facilities Management Works Services subsidiary also participated with its highly skilled workforce busy interacting with visitors on services available. With the solution-oriented and quality stamp on the also quite experienced Julius Berger Facilities Management Works team, it was clear to significantly impressed visitors that they were the partners of choice for public and private organisations seeking high quality consistent, compliant, integrated asset management solutions.
Chairman, Board of Directors of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, Mr. Mutiu Sunmonu, who was an early visitor to the Julius Berger stand at the Big 5 exhibition, said, “We have come here to showcase our multi talents and capabilities. We want the world to be reminded that Julius Berger is not just a builder of house and bridges, but that we are into other unique aspects that really affect humanity positively.”
Julius Berger’s Commercial Manager, Mr. Christian Bauer, said the company was delighted to be a participant at the Big5 Construct Nigeria event alongside its subsidiaries. The exhibition, he said, provided Julius Berger with a great platform to showcase the Group’s collective expertise, foster industry collaboration, and highlight its commitment to delivering high-quality solutions that will continue to drive Nigeria’s infrastructure development.
“It was a nice experience moving inside the Julius Berger stand. The feeling I get is that Julius Berger is one big deal where you find a potpourri of highly professional services and products one must require to live a comfortable life,” said the CEO of Lichfield Properties Limited, Dr. David Odi.
The Operations Manager of Abumet, Markus Erhardt, said the Big 5 show afforded the company “valuable contacts and hopefully they would place good orders”.
The Project Evaluation Manager of Abumet, Mr Werner Christian Willegger, was hopeful that “something productively positive” would come out of the exhibition.
“The visitor traffic to our stand has been nice and we are expecting lots of contracts in the next business cycle after this exhibition. All we had to do was show visitors our perfectly engineered products and they could see the cutting-edge quality for themselves. The marketing was a perfectly joyful activity for us. For Abumet, every client is king, and the feedback we are getting has been good,” Willegger said.
Head of Julius Berger Piling and Geotechnical Services, Mr. Karnauke Christoph, described the experience as unique, saying the company hoped to “convert all the enquiries we have entertained today into concrete contracts soon”.
