Key Information
Klaus Dittrich, Chairman and CEO of Messe München, stated: "For the industry, bauma is the world's most important innovation platform and economic driver, which was evident this year. Especially during a period of massive technological change led by digitalization, bauma provides the industry with security and confidence. Thanks to the strong demand momentum over the seven days of the exhibition, companies can face the economic slowdown with ease. Additionally, bauma 2019 highlighted the opportunities and great prospects for the entire industry." Frank W. Reschke, Managing Director of Masa, called this edition "the most successful bauma ever."
