bauma CTT RUSSIA 2021 to Start as Planned

an ultimate vote of confidence in view of the travel conditions worldwide that are still difficult. In 2021, bauma CTT RUSSIA will be the only trade fair in the worldwide bauma NETWORK to be held as a face-to-face event. After China, this opens up another market for Messe München.

After last year's bauma CTT RUSSIA had to be cancelled due to a pandemic, the general conditions allow it to be held this year. Stefan Rummel, Managing Director of Messe München, is pleased that after China - where bauma China was held with great success in November 2020 - Messe München can now hold trade fairs again in another country: "This is another step towards restarting the trade fair business, another positive signal also for the trade fairs in Germany. The response and also the confidence on the part of exhibitors, visitors and partners is great. The access and hygiene concept is in place, as is the go-ahead from politicians. We are therefore delighted to be able to hold trade shows in Russia again. Our mission is to provide a professional and secure platform for business and networking in Moscow. Of course, health and safety continue to have top priority.”

Market leaders on board
339 exhibitors will take part in bauma CTT RUSSIA 2021, including 74 international exhibitors, who will present themselves in Moscow despite difficult travel conditions. Germany, Finland and Turkey will be represented with international pavilions. The exhibitor list includes well-known companies such as Bauer Maschinen, Bondioli&Pavesi, Daimler KAMAZ, Doosan Infracore, Elkon, Kudesnik, MB Crusher, MEKA, Putzmeister, TOP WERK, XCMG, Zeppelin, and Zoomlion.

Sergey Alexandrov, Managing Director of Messe Muenchen Rus, emphasizes: “The need to meet business partners and customers face-to-face is huge in the construction equipment industry right now—as reflected by the online visitor registration: the numbers are at the high level of the previous event in 2019. So, the importance of bauma CTT RUSSIA remains unchanged.”

On the agenda: the future
On each of the four trade show days, the bauma CTT FORUM will be dedicated to a different market segment of the construction machinery industry, namely: Road Construction, Mining, Lifting Equipment, and Construction Vehicles.

This year the organizers place special focus on the Mining industry. The conference “Future of mining”—for which the Russian Academy of Mining Sciences could be won over—will mainly deal with the digital transformation of mining companies. On its agenda: developments in the global mining industry, illustrated by current examples from the sector and combined with field reports (Finch and Cullinanin South Africa mines).

Representatives of well-known manufacturers such as Liebherr and Komatsu will highlight “Automated and robotic complexes of mining equipment for mining enterprises”—in detail:

• experience in the use of robotic mining and transport systems in quarries throughout the world,
• management systems for mining and transportation in underground mines,
• the future’s enrichment plant (digital control technology for ore dressing),
• mining solutions for the mining industry of the future.

“Construction Equipment Innovations in Russia” award
A highlight of bauma CTT RUSSIA will be the presentation of the “Construction Equipment Innovations in Russia” award on the second day of the fair. The award has been presented since 2019 and honors technical innovation in ten categories. The 2021 nominees include manufacturers BOMAG, CATERPILLAR, Impulse, JCB, John Deere, JSC, Liebherr, MAN, NFLG, SDLG, SEM, Tradicia-K, TTM, UMG, Volvo, and ZZBO.
