On October 26th, Sobratema vice-president Juan Manuel Altstadt will participate on the panel CECE
Economic Forum: “Making it in Europe, Expanding to New Markets” along with representatives from

occasion, the Brazilian executive will present a panorama of the Brazilian market for construction
equipment for the coming two years. Ivan Montenegro, technical director for the association, will also be
