The New Iron Expo will be held in Hinkley, Minnesota on April 3, 4 and 5 with more than 100 vendor brands, training opportunities and dynamic hands-on experiences. It will be held on the 400-acre property of International Union of Operating Engineers Local 49.
Local 49 Business Manager Glen Johnson says the goals of the event range “from showing a wide-eyed child the capabilities of a large piece of construction equipment to showing a contractor the benefits of working with union trained workers.”
“The equipment scheduled to be on display is some of the newest and most innovative stuff around,” says Johnson.
“This isn’t just for contractors and it isn’t just for vendors,” said Johnson. “This New Iron Expo is about showing the public and those within the industry all of the wonderful things happening in training, job growth and machinery.”
Two of the vendors, V.J. Polkus, a territory manager for Ziegler Caterpillar in Bloomington, Minnesota and Ben Carlson, a Seppi sales agent, are both excited to bring some of the best technology in the industry to the New Iron Expo.
“This is a big demo opportunity and a chance to ask questions and get educated answers,” said Polkus. “This is a major showcasing opportunity for us.”
