As the world's largest construction equipment trade exposition, Bauma draws in half a million people to Munich every three years to see the latest developments in heavy iron. But attendees to the show on April 11-17 next year will also see a renewed focus on mining equipment, according to show organizers.
"In 2016 we have a focus on mining, because we think that mining is getting more and more important for the construction machinery industry, as a whole, and we have a lot of exhibitors that also have mining products," says Stefan Rummel, managing director of Messe München, which runs the Bauma show. "The companies are already there, but we tried to make the mining segment more visible."
