BAUMA 2019
The biggest event of the construction broke records of participation and exhibitors.
For the third consecutive year BITAFAL group traveled to the city of Munich to participate BAUMA. This event, held every three years, was the biggest in its history and where more than 3700 companies presented their products and services. During the 7 days of the fair, from 8 to 14 April, 620,000 visitors came from 200 countries to learn about the latest advances in technology in both civil construction and road.
This time, the fairgrounds, opened new areas reaching 614,000 m2 of exhibition, fair really an eyesore.
From Uruguay several technicians and businessmen were present to meet new products and to incorporate these technologies in our country. We can proudly assure how many construction equipment companies mention Uruguay as a benchmark in innovation and incorporation of the latest trends in equipment and techniques. This is thanks to the joint work that many of the actors in the road family have been doing in recent years.
The world's leading trade fair for construction machinery, building materials machinery, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment, generated the best results in the exhibition's 65-year history. The number of visitors increased by around 40,000 over the total for the previous event in 2016. More than 250,000 visitors came from countries outside of Germany. The top 10 visiting countries after Germany were: Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Poland and Great Britain. The fair also saw a strong increase in the attendance of foreign visitors. China, Australia and Japan made significant gains in this group.
The most impressive stands were again the Liebherr, Caterpillar and Wirtgen. These exhibitors have whole sheds or buildings built exclusively for the fair, with exhibition equipment, meeting rooms, restaurants and shows to showcase the latest innovations.
Overall trends in this latest edition were hybrid engines for construction equipment, the 4.0 generation equipment, wireless technology for many applications and automated almost completely equipment.
Another interesting experience is the virtual reality that is being used for operator training and for different applications such as security awareness at work or even see the finished project from within.
The next edition will be held from 4 to 10 April 2022 at Messe München also in the beautiful city of Munich.
