Fifteen of the world’s top 50 construction equipment manufacturers – as ranked in the International Construction magazine's 2025 Yellow Table – are confirmed to exhibit at PlantWorx 2025, taking place from 23–25 September at Newark Showground.
Big names on the list include Caterpillar, JCB, Kubota, SANY, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment, Manitou, Fayat Group, Takeuchi, Sunward and Merlo – all CEA member companies – joined by XCMG, Shantui, Lonking and Hidromek.
Alongside the top 50 OEMs, over 300 other companies will be exhibiting – covering everything from machines and attachments to digital systems, safety products, power solutions and site infrastructure.
Attachments will be particularly well represented. Confirmed exhibitors include Holp, Rototilt, OKB Attachments, Attach UK Ltd, Miller, BPH Attachments, Worsley Plant, Auger Torque/Kinshofer UK, Arden Equipment, Digga Europe and Con Mech Engineers. Watson & Hillhouse will also be on site, showcasing the latest in pile driving equipment.
Excavator attachments now represent one of the most commercially significant parts of the construction equipment market. As demand grows for flexibility and cost-efficiency on-site, many contractors and hirers are investing in high-performance attachments rather than expanding their machine fleets. This shift has positioned attachments as a central part of plant strategy. With rapid advancements in design, control systems and compatibility, the attachment sector continues to drive innovation and offer strong returns, making it a major area of focus for both OEMs and specialist suppliers.
PlantWorx is the UK’s only working construction exhibition in 2025. It gives visitors the chance to see machines in action on real ground, compare kit side by side, and speak directly with the teams who design, build and supply it.
For exhibitors, it offers a practical way to connect with contractors, hirers and engineers who are actively looking for the right tools to get the job done.
“PlantWorx 2025 will bring together 15 of the world’s top 50 construction equipment OEMs – alongside more than 300 industry-leading exhibitors from across the sector – all in one place. It’s a rare opportunity to see this breadth of equipment and technology operating in real site conditions here in the UK. From globally recognised names to highly specialised manufacturers, they’re choosing to exhibit because PlantWorx delivers what the industry values most: practical demonstrations, meaningful engagement, and a strong focus on the needs of contractors, hirers and decision-makers.”
