The 21st edition of bauma CTT RUSSIA—the International Trade Fair for Construction Equipment and Technologies— is said to have sent a “positive signal” to the global construction machinery industry.
Speaking about the recently held exhibition at the Crocus Expo IEC in Moscow, Stefan Rummel, managing director of Messe München, said: “bauma CTT RUSSIA sent a positive signal to the global construction machinery industry. It was the only trade fair in the bauma network to be held in the first half of 2021 as a face-to-face event—another especially important step towards restarting worldwide trade fair business. Despite the special circumstances, many market leaders came to Moscow.”
Staged 25-28 May 2021, Russia’s leading trade fair for construction machinery proved its importance as a business platform. A total of 344 companies from 16 countries exhibited on-site in Moscow, showcasing their product to a total of 18,863 visitors. Compared to the last edition in 2019, the total exhibition space decreased to 35,000m² due to the pandemic. The top six exhibitors in terms of exhibition area were: XugOng Ru LLC with the brand XCMG, Kudesnik, FASSI, URAL Automotive Plant, Zoomlion Heavy Industry Rus, and Zeppelin.
“On each of the four trade show days, the trade fair was very well attended with many high-ranking representatives from politics and business. The safety and hygiene concept in place provided a secure platform for business and networking,” explains Sergey Alexandrov, managing director of Messe Muenchen Rus.
According to a survey among visitors and exhibitors, an overwhelming majority was satisfied with bauma CTT RUSSIA 2021. Both exhibitors and visitors noted the representativeness and brightness of the exhibition area.
bauma CTT RUSSIA’s new business programme brought together experts and representatives of industry leaders to share their latest insights. The bauma CTT FORUM and Confab attracted more than 1,000 participants. The business programme placed special focus on bauma CTT MINING. During the ‘Future of mining’ conference, speakers from more than 35 leading companies and organisations in the mining industry shared their knowledge.
Highlight of the fair’s second day was the award ceremony ‘Construction equipment innovations in Russia’, where renowned experts and journalists from specialist Russian publications covering the construction and special equipment market awarded the nominees. More than 30 applications were submitted—the following companies won in one of the categories:
