In about 15 months, bC India 2013 opens its doors, and applications for exhibit space are now being accepted for companies and other participants wishing to exhibit at the second edition of bC India, a BAUMA CONEXPO SHOW, which takes place February 5 to 8, 2013 at the MMRDA grounds in the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai. Space applications are now available for download at www.bcindia.com. The closing date for priority applications is March 15, 2012.
Scheduled to cover 130,000 square meters of exhibition space, this second bC India is taking up almost 50% more space than at the premiere in 2011: "It is very good news that bC India is able to grow from 88,000 to 130,000 square meters in 2013. As bC India 2011 was a big success for us and probably for other exhibitors as well, we are sure that the larger space will be utilized for bC India 2013 and are greatly looking forward to the show," comments Jehangir Ardeshir, President & Managing Director of Terex India.
The sector as a whole, too, is pleased at this expansion in exhibition space, and also that the choice of venue once again is the Bandra Kurla Complex and Mumbai: “bC India 2011 was very professionally organized. We had good business generation and an opportunity to meet many old and new customers. We appreciate the bC India organizers again selecting Mumbai as the venue for bC India 2013, which will give us the opportunity to meet our old and new customers in this most important marketplace," says Anand Sundaresan, Managing Director of Schwing Stetter India.
And Anindya Ganguly, General Manager Operations at Voltas Limited, Mining and Construction Equipment Division, adds: "We are happy that bC India was able to reserve the MMRDA grounds at the Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai for 2013 again. bC India 2011 was organized very professionally and the venue proved to be ideal for such an international construction event."
And: “Mumbai is the economic hub of India with a huge business potential," says Michael Schmid-Lindenmayer, Managing Director of Putzmeister Concrete Machines. "Furthermore, after a successful participation at bC India 2011, we support the organizers’ decision to hold bC India 2013 in Mumbai again."
Kevin R. Thieneman, President of Caterpillar Asia Pte. Ltd., USA, voiced support for the show: “The number and quality of buyers at bC India and the show’s professional organization have made this exhibition an addition to our overall marketing strategy in India.” And John Olsen, P.E., Vice President International Sales of Astec Aggregate and Mining, adds: “The bC India show was a very good experience for Telsmith, Astec and our new partners in India, TIL Ltd. The show traffic was very good each day, with the vast majority of visitors to our booth being equipment owners and customers that wanted to talk about real projects and requirements for new equipment.”
