The show summary report launched by Messe München used three adjectives to describe bauma 2013: Gigantic, Amazing and Supreme.
The stats released back up their claim. Over 200 countries were represented by the 530,000 estimated visitors to the show over the course of its 7 day stretch in Munich, Germany. Housing 3,420 exhibitors from 57 countries, the world's largest international construction show continued to deliver, featuring its highest ever proportion of international visitors.
"This is very good for our industry in these turbulent times and it will certainly give it a boost," said Johann Sailer, Chairman of the Construction Equipment and Building Material Machinery Association of VDMA and President of the Committee for the European Construction Equipment Industry (CECE).
