UK Pavilion at bauma 2019 to feature 34 Exhibitors

CEA says the pavilion will feature construction companies and suppliers for the construction and mining industries.

The CEA (Construction Equipment Association) is once again hosting a UK Pavilion at the forthcoming bauma Munich construction machinery, vehicles and equipment exhibition, which is taking place in Munich,  Germany April 8–14 this year. The dedicated UK Pavilion (Hall B5) will feature an impressive 34 exhibitors (in addition to the CEA booth), comprising construction companies and industry suppliers from the UK. 537135 Bauma Cea

bauma Munich 2016 attracted nearly 583,736 visitors from 219 countries and regions, as well as 3,425 exhibitors from 58 countries. The show occupied 605,000 m² of exhibition space.

According to bauma Munich, 73% of trade visitors are decision-makers, and 23% are key decision-makers who are looking specifically for new solutions: CEOs, managers, investors and buyers from around the world – making the show an excellent prospect for UK exhibitors to get in front of potential new customers and ‘fly the flag’ for Great Britain.

Joanna Oliver MBE, CEA Director of Global Programs and organizer of the UK Pavilion at bauma Munich says, "Despite the never-ending plot twists and dramas that surround Brexit, I’m delighted to say that we have a near record sized UK Pavilion at bauma for 2019."

Oliver adds, "Whilst other UK Pavilions have had to be cancelled due to lack of government support and funding, the UK presence at bauma goes from strength to strength. The UK Pavilion is primarily aimed at the next and developing exporters, together with smaller UK exhibitors, who would be lost in a show the size of bauma with their own small stand. In total there will be over 100 UK exhibitors at the show, the balance of the UK exhibitors being located either in the outside areas or in product specific halls."

Oliver concludes, “For the first time the CEA will welcome a UK trade mission run by the Midlands Engine, (an agency of the Department for International Trade). The mission comprises mainly Midlands based companies and features briefings at the British Consulate, targeted meetings and introductions, also an escorted tour of bauma and a networking reception.”

UK exhibitors that have committed to exhibit at an overseas event with the CEA for the first time include TuffTrak, EMJ Plastics, Halco Rock Tools, IHS pumps and Veethree (formerly CANtronik).

First time exhibitor EMJ Plastics is a leading provider of GRP permanent formwork for the construction of composite concrete decks. Primarily used as bridge beam formwork the company can adapt the size and shape of its formwork to suit other cast in situ civil structures.

Michael Mitchel, EMJ Plastics Technical Sales Executive, says, "We are keen to expand our client base in Europe and beyond and have already added four new countries that we have now exported to in the past 12 months. Our formwork has been installed on over 5,000 civil structural projects both in the UK and worldwide since 1960 and we are eager to establish new links with potential clients, engineers and contractors at the bauma event in April." 

Also new is Halco Rock Tools, who is a manufacturer of ‘Down the Hole’ drilling equipment for Blasthole, Waterwell, Geotechnical and Oil & Gas applications.

David Mildren, Director, Halco Rock Tools, says, "bauma is always a fantastic show to meet customers new and old from around the world - we are looking forward to exhibiting as part of the CEA's UK Pavilion and the new business opportunities this will bring."

IHS pumps will also be making its show debut at bauma in the UK Pavilion. The company manufactures, what it claims to be, unique All-in-One hydraulic vehicles to mix, pump and deliver concrete/beton on site from a single vehicle. 

The IHS Pumps hydraulic machine employs an on-board computer, electronically weighing every ingredient and producing a printed ticket for every batch. IHS says that this provides a level of consistency and quality far beyond the capabilities of standard volumetric mixers and delivers the most accurate strength of mix in the sector today. 

Gary Lansley, Sales Director, IHS Pumps, says, "bauma offers an unrivalled opportunity to meet with peers, suppliers, and potential clients from throughout the construction and manufacturing industries. Especially in the shadow of Brexit, it’s important for us as a leading UK producer to get out there and demonstrate that Britain is still an outward looking, international-trade orientated country and that our manufacturing is still amongst some of the best in the world.

"IHS Pumps’ unique All-in-One concrete pumping machinery has been a revelation in the UK and helped to evolve the mix on site sector itself in developing its procedures. At bauma, we look forward to unveiling the latest incarnation of this technology and meeting other world leaders that we can work together in partnership with." 

First time exhibitor TuffTrak is a market leader in temporary access mats and ground protection solutions.

With the help and support provided by the Construction Equipment Association, we will be bringing a wealth of experience gained from the UK within the construction and groundworks industries to the wider audience of visitors attending this year’s event.

"As leaders in our field, TuffTrak specialize in ground protection and safety solutions, with product ranges suitable for both small and larger scale projects.
