Finding your way around Bauma

Bauma’s organisers say the sell-out show will run across 200,000m² of indoor space and around 400,000m² outdoor space – and more than 3,000 companies from some 60 countries will be exhibiting.

As always, there is a packed schedule with plenty to see and do across the week and a comprehensive support programme in place to maximise everyone’s time at the show.
