For example, Taiwan's E-Cool International Limited is showcasing its latest dust collector system, which is used to enhance the quality of air released from industrial processes by removing impurities.

Benzir Ahmed, assistant manager for sales and marketing at E-Cool, said their system is more efficient than that of other companies available in the market as it clears eight kilogrammes of dust every hour.

China's Shengzhou Longcheng Electrical Appliances is showcasing an adjustable blower machine, which the company says is being sold at a lower price compared to alternatives in Bangladesh even though it is more energy efficient.

A total of 120 companies from 16 countries are participating in the event, which will play a major role in Bangladesh's construction industry and infrastructure development, according to the organiser.
