Peter Altmaier, German Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, saluted bauma, saying: “This trade fair is a showcase for Germany.” In an address, the minister also touched on the extremely tight housing market facing the country. The construction machinery industry that is showcasing its products over the next seven days will play a key role in this effort, Altmaier said.
Dr Markus Söder, Bavarian Minister President, shared Altmaier’s enthusiasm: “bauma is the world’s largest trade fair. Highly innovative and gigantic construction machines from all parts of the world demonstrate the progress that has been achieved by the construction industry. The latest machines are even all-electric and emission-free. The construction industry is the indicator of our economic strength.”
