CTT 2017, the 18th International Trade Fair for Construction Equipment and Technologies, was successfully held between May 30 and June 3 at the Crocus Expo IEC in Moscow, Russia. The slowly stabilising economic situation and the gradually rising demand on the Russian construction machinery market formed the background against which the exhibition took place.

CTT 2017 attracted more than 20,000 participants from 56 countries and regions. Stefan Rummel, Managing Director of Messe M?nchen, expressed his satisfaction, ?Despite the still challenging economic situation, CTT once again confirms its leading role in Russia and the CIS. This show is not only a platform for product presentation, exploring product innovations and market trends, but also a good opportunity for industry communication and cooperation for further growth.?

As many as 557 exhibitors, up by 6.3 per cent compared to last year, from 30 countries showcased their new products and innovations for the Russian and CIS market on 61,000 sq m of exhibition space. The top ten exhibiting countries were Russia, China, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Finland, Korea, Czech Republic, Belarus and Spain.

Andreas Lettl, General Director of CTT Expo LLC, looks on the results highly favourable, ?The satisfying number of visitors and exhibitors reflects the trust in the brand of CTT. Hence, CTT indicates to remain the most important event in the Russian market.? The next event will take place in Moscow from June 5 to 8, 2018, under the new name of bauma CTT RUSSIA.
