Exhibitors from India

bauma latest [03/03/2010]

Work starts very soon on the actual setting up at bauma. Eight weeks ahead of the fair, exhibitors are already very busy getting their stands ready, because the official setting-up time is simply not long enough for some of the very sophisticated stands being planned. The first of the 500 or so transports of heavy loads have already arrived here at the exhibition centre. And in the coming weeks we are expecting a further 6,000 truckloads, containing stand construction material and exhibits. It is hard to find parallels for the amazing logistical challenge faced here in the last week of set-up, when half of the total number of trucks converge on the site. And yet by the time the fair opens on the first day, everything will be in its place and bauma can get down to business.
If you want to get ahead and find out where exactly the exhibitors you want to see will be located at the fair, you can go onto the bauma website and use our Booth Finder application, and consult the hall plans.
