bauma China 2006: Demand for Exhibition Space Still Increasing
With four months to go, the demand for exhibition space for bauma China 2006, which opens its gates from 21 to 24 November 2006 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, is still increasing. At bauma China 2004, 232 Chinese exhibitors participated in the international trade fair for building and building materials machines, construction vehicles and building equipment. For 2006, 323 Chinese companies have already applied. That means an increase of nearly 40%.
The organisers point out that all these remarkable developments did not come like a bolt from the blue. In the 1970s, China's economy was opened to the rest of the world. Since then, China has been developing rapidly, becoming one of the most interesting global economic partners worldwide.
Even though today China has cooperations with many leading industrialised countries, Germany and China always had a special economic relationship. Germany is still the biggest European trade partner for China. In addition, Germany is one of the most important main recipients for China worldwide as well as a top exporter to China. Nowadays, more and more German companies are expanding their Chinese engagement in order to cooperate closely on projects like the Transrapid or Luchao Harbour City, the completion of which is planned for 2020.
The organisers say that bauma China is the most successful and most important trade fair for the building and building material industry in the Chinese market with 50,000 trade fair visitors from all regions of China and all continents recorded at the last event. In 2004, a total of 738 exhibitors presented the complete range of construction and building material machines on an area of 100,000 sq.m. at one of the most modern trade fair centres in Asia, the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC). In 2006 bauma China will cover approximately 140,000 sq.m. of exhibition space.
