Bauma Munich will be held from 7-13th April in Munich, Germany. 

This news follows the successful hosting of Intermat in Paris, which saw more than 127,000 visitors attend the show in Paris last week, with 21% of those from outside of France. There were 1,065 exhibitors, including 68% non-French companies.

This year’s Intermat took a different format from past shows, losing two days and running from Wednesday to Saturday. That had an inevitable impact on visitor numbers, with the 127,500 figure a reduction of more than a quarter on the 173,300 in 2018 and the 183,000 from 2015. The show also held its own innovation awards.
