Rapid infrastructure development in Africa has proved a happy hunting ground for 88 Marcegaglia Buildtech, specialists in steel road safety barriers.

“At the moment, we are getting a lot of requests and interest from Africa,” Michela Zoldan of the company’s strategic marketing department said at Intertraffic.

“The European Union is putting a lot of money into development in Africa to try to help with the immigration issue. We are also seeing the results of the Expo (world trade fair) in Italy last year where we had a lot of meetings with potential clients.”

Marcegaglia Buildtech is showing off a wide range of its barriers at Intertraffic, including six new products.

The product range covers all types of guardrail together with integrated noise protection and safety guardrails.
