Construction is a very diverse industry that includes activities ranging from mining, quarrying and forestry to the construction of infrastructure and buildings, the manufacture and supply of products, as well as maintenance, operation and disposal. A key component in the construction industry is the machinery that keeps it moving.

  • Commercial and social (approximately 45%).
