Mega machines at work

CQMS’25, a construction and quarry machinery show, is more than just an exhibition, says the organiers, because it is the only show in Ireland set in a quarry.

That is Molloy’s Quarry, Tullamore, and the event, on June 13 and 14, is a hub of innovation and new technology covering 100,000 square metres with 200 exhibitors, thousands of visitors, two massive live demonstration zones, new machinery launches, Hector Ó hEochagáin (on June 13 to welcome visitors) and a chance to win a €50,000 worth of show credit to be spent with exhibitors.

Molloy’s Quarry means a setting to see mega machines in their natural habitat. CQMS’25 will showcase the best of construction machinery and mega machines including quarry equipment, crushers, screeners, diggers, tipper trucks, tyres as well as new construction and quarry technology, access booms and battery powered plant.

Ireland is a hub of quarry equipment manufacturing and engineering; more than 70% of the world’s crushing and screening equipment is produced in Ireland so it makes sense for this international show to take place here.

Among the visitors will be industry professionals and trade delegates with a large overseas delegation. The show will also appeal to families and those with an interest in seeing mega machines at work as well as the spectacle of almost €100 million worth of equipment.

Thousands of national and international construction and quarrying professionals will attend this event which presents Ireland as a centre of excellence in engineering and manufacturing."
