The exhibition was initially held at the
Paris – Le Bourget Airport, and known as EXPOMAT. In 1988, it moved to the
Parc des Expositions de Villepinte and was renamed INTERMAT. Several manufacturers display their
construction machinery and equipment in an outdoor demonstration area called INTERMAT Demo, where they can demonstrate machinery and equipment performance in simulated working conditions. The programme includes demonstrations of site machinery: backhoe loaders, mechanical diggers,
mini-excavators,
