As the construction industry shows signs of revival and customers are investing in properties, there is an exhibition in the city to showcase building materials, décor items, and construction equipment.

Coimbatore Civil Engineers Association has organised Confair 2016, an international fair of construction industry, at Codissia Trade Fair Centre. The event has 277 stalls and it brings together buyers and sellers from the construction industry. The exhibition also has some international participants and the products exhibited encompass the design and construction segments.

From mini excavators and water treatment systems to tiles, paints and water heaters, the exhibition has a wide range of products.

Covering a display area of 75,000 sq.ft, the exhibits include new technologies to ethnic products.

Coimbatore-based Karsan Technologies has introduced Smitch, which enables users to control electronic devices at home using a mobile application.
