2007 bauma Will Be Largest Ever
At bauma - which will take place from 23-29 April 2007 in Munich - even more international companies
for construction, building materials and mining are expected to exhibit their current product innovations as well as the latest trends in technologies and services in the exhibition area. The halls are already fully booked, the demand for the open air space is enormous and the waiting list is still long. Due to so much interest the bauma exhibition space has been increased by 30,000 sq.m. from last time to now stand at over 530,000 sq.m.Demand from Chinese exhibitors has been nearly five times as big as at the last edition in 2004. India asked for more than four times more space, Japan five times more. Exhibitors from Austria, Luxemburg, Turkey, Korea and Greece doubled their demand. Companies from countries like Bulgaria and Singapore want to exhibit at bauma 2007 for the first time.
Organiser Messe München International (MMI) said all this showed that bauma is the most important trade fair for construction machinery and equipment, building materials machinery and mining technology in the world. It underlines its leading position as meeting place for all key players, added MMI.
In 2004, a total of 2,801 exhibitors from 47 countries made use of bauma as a platform for presentation and marketing, 50% of them from countries other than Germany. Over 416,000 visitors from Germany and abroad came to Munich for bauma 2004, with 29% of these from abroad. The exhibiting companies confirm the importance of bauma as the international meeting point for the sector. During bauma 2004, 93% of exhibitors welcomed international visitors to their stands.
