The recent bauma 2007 was the most successful bauma of all time. This event has strengthened its position as a leading platform for the building and construction industry. This 28th international trade fair for construction machinery, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment took place from April 23 to 29 at the New Munich Trade Faire Centre, outstripping the last bauma in 2004 not only in terms of exhibition space, but also in regards to exhibitor and visitor numbers.
