Bauma revving up for record-breaking show

March 24, 2010
Spring started in Bavaria, and along with it came the first of the giant construction machines arriving at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre. The entire open-air site is a hive of activity at the moment—drilling, digging, hammering and assembly work is going on everywhere to make sure the display is in tip-top shape and ready for the opening of bauma.

Spring started in Bavaria, and along with it came the first of the giant construction machines arriving at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre. The entire open-air site is a hive of activity at the moment—drilling, digging, hammering and assembly work is going on everywhere to make sure the display is in tip-top shape and ready for the opening of bauma.

The International Trade Fair for Construction Machinery, Building Material Machines, Mining Machines, Construction Vehicles and Construction Equipment, is opening its doors April 19-25 in Munich for the 29th time. And this time it will be even bigger and stronger than ever before: a new all-time record is being set for exhibition space at over 555,000 square meters; and over 3,000 exhibitors from all over the world will be here. Among the exhibits announced for the exhibition are many world premieres and an impressive array of heavyweight machinery.

Trade show officials are expecting around 6,000 trucks to arrive at the fair ground, bringing stand-building equipment and exhibits in time for the show. Some of the largest exhibits arrive in sections, in separate deliveries, for assembly at the exhibition center.

"Despite the logistics challenge, faced in particular by our technical team and transport coordinators, we are really looking forward to this unique set-up phase for bauma,” bauma Exhibition Director Georg Moller commented. “Each day we are excited to see the tremendous progress being made on setting up the stands and assembling the machines. The site fills up more and more each day."
