bauma 2010 is over, and all exhibitors are fully focused on their day-to-day business again. Although the flight ban imposed on most parts of Europe prevented many visitors from attending, including many members of the delegation from the partner country, India, as well as about 50 exhibitors from overseas, the general sentiment among the approx. 3,150 exhibitors from 53 countries was good upon the closing of bauma.

bauma tour

For the first time, BFT INTERNATIONAL offered guided tours through the exhibition halls. Relevant topics had been determined before in order to attract interested attendees from among the industry audience and to adhere to the set timeline. As a result, the companies participating in this offering had the opportunity to present themselves and their products. Here, too, the “fly ash” incident had a tangible impact. Nonetheless, both attendees and companies showed great interest so that BFT is determined to offer guided tours also in the future.
