Since the first Bauma exhibition in 1954, the tri-annual show has set a new all-time record at each event in terms of exhibitors, space and visitors and Messe Munchen hopes to continue the trend in 2010.
"Although in 2010 the construction machinery sector in many markets worldwide will be recovering only slowly form the recession. we are pleased to report that we are seeing strong demand for exhibition space," said Messe Munchen. Managing director Eugen Egetenmeir: "This shows that exhibitors regard participation in the world's leading trade fair Bauma as a must, although many are at present having to make cuts in their advertising and trade-fair budgets. We have been particularly surprised by the strong demand for space from exhibitors from markets like China. India and Turkey. The fair is fully booked and many more companies are on the waiting list." Egetenmeir added that at the present time, in the run-up to the fair, over 50% of the exhibitors at Bauma 2010 come from countries outside Germany.
As well as extra exhibition space, Messe Munchen is also improving facilities for visitors with better travel and transport plans and increased access with a new entrance at the north west corner of the showground.
