| bauma expects high proportion of international exhibitors The deadline for receipt of registration applications from exhibitors has now passed, but the organisers of bauma 2010, Messe München GmbH, are very satisfied with the response so far. Interest from exhibitors across all product sections is so strong that it accounts for the entire exhibition space reserved for the event – a total of 540,000 square metres spread between the exhibition halls and the open-air site. Of the 3,002 exhibitors at the last bauma in 2007, 1,643 came from 48 countries outside Germany, which is equivalent to more than 54 percent of the total. The countries with the strongest exhibitor contingents were Italy, the US, Great Britain and China. For the next bauma leading industry associations in Germany, under the auspices of the VDMA, Germany's engineering federation and conceptual sponsor of bauma, will be launching an international innovations prize, divided into five categories and open to all exhibitors at the fair. The latest products from the international construction, building-materials and mining machinery sectors will be on show at bauma in Munich between 19 and 24 April 2010. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
