bauma, which takes place from 23 to 29 April 2007 in Munich, is said by the organiser Messe München GmbH to be exceeding all expectations. Over 3,000 exhibitors will be displaying their innovations in the field of machinery and equipment for the construction, building materials and mining industries, as well as construction vehicles. All the halls and the entire open-air site are fully booked. Because of the tremendous demand, stand space for bauma 2007 has increased by 40,000 square metres over last time, to 540,000 square metres. This makes the 2007 bauma the biggest of all time.
The exhibitor number is around 10% more than in 2004. The level of international participation is also set to expand further, with 54% of all the exhibitors coming from outside Germany. A total of 49 countries will be represented among the exhibitors at this year’s show.
National pavilions are being organised by the following countries: Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Great Britain, India, Korea, Spain and the USA. There has been an above-average increase in the number of exhibitors registering from Russia, Turkey and China. This year the Chinese pavilion will be taking up 13,200 square metres (net) of exhibition space, which is fully seven times more than last time. The Russian pavilion is five times larger than last time and the Turkish one twice as large.
The new hall C4 and the extended hall C3 will come into use for bauma for the first time. This gives an additional 15,000 square metres of hall space. The open-air site on the north side of the exhibition centre has been expanded by another 10,000 square metres and now covers 110,000 square metres. Also at the entrance to the open-air site, there will be a new temporary hall, A7. Thus bauma in 2007 will have a total of 15,000 square metres more hall space and 25,000 square metres more open-air exhibition space, bringing the total increase to 40,000 square metres.
