Forget what you know about trade shows, Bauma is a massive global show with exhibitors from around the world. “We are particularly pleased about the level of interest from Chinese, Turkish and in particular the Indian exhibitors — India being the partner country of Bauma in 2010. In some cases, we have received double the number of requests for exhibition space from these countries than in 2007,” said Exhibition Director Georg Moller.
A record 555,000 square meters and more of indoor and outdoor exhibition space at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre are being dedicated to a display of the latest products from the international construction, building-materials and mining machinery sectors. To give you an idea of just how big it really is, Caterpillar is bringing 60 machines to put on display, ranging from the 301.6C mini hydraulic excavator to the 993K large quarry truck, according to a press release. In addition to the machines, the Caterpillar stand will feature a central area dedicated to practical, business driven innovations, technology and services designed to help customers’ success, lessen environmental impact and work more safely.
For the latest and greatest in the construction industry, it doesn’t get any better (or bigger) than Bauma. And hey, it’s a good excuse to get out of the office (and country). For more info check out www.bauma.de/en.
