bauma China 2008 continues to expand

Already, eight months before the start of bauma China 2008, the 4th International Trade Fair for Construction Machinery, Building Material Machines, Construction Vehicles and Equipment, demand for exhibition space has exceeded the available capacity. The event takes place from 25 to 28 November 2008 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC) in China.

This has come despite the fact that overall the amount of exhibition space – indoor and outdoor – reserved for the trade fair this year has risen by 20 percent, bringing the total to 188,000 square metres. Six exhibition halls will be in use, instead of the previous four.
However, the additional hall space is already very well booked due to the manufacturers of large-scale road-building machinery that are moving from the open-air site into the covered exhibition area.

At the last bauma China in 2006 a total of 1,088 exhibitors from 30 countries presented their products and services in construction machinery and vehicles to an audience of over 80,000 trade visitors from 118 countries. Eight months before the next bauma China, over 1,000 exhibitors have already registered to take part. This means that bauma China is on course to set a new record, in terms of both space booked and exhibitor numbers.
