The BAUMA CONEXPO SHOW – bC India, which took place from December 15 to 18, 2014, at the India Expo Centre in Greater Noida/Delhi, has held a steady course as regards key figures. The show consolidated its market position with a total of 26,000 visitors and 635 exhibitors from 25 countries attending the third edition of the International Trade Fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines and construction vehicles.
The exhibitors were particularly pleased with the quality of the trade visitors. Mr. Sorab Agarwal, Executive Director of ACE, observed: “We had visitors from all over India, as also international ones. We only had genuine customers – there was no wasting time, they were here for business”.
Mr. Tanmay Majumdar, Associate Vice President of Gmmco/Caterpillar, added: “The quality of visitors was very high, including good buyers, contractors and the like, and bC India proved a good opportunity to meet new customers.”
The show had also very high status as a presentation platform for companies, as Mr. Sandip Choudhuri, General Manager & Head Kansbahal Works at Larsen & Toubro, confirmed: “We had many customers and very serious enquiries. The visitors were very seriously interested in our products. We launched a new product here, and in that respect it was very important for us to be here to use bC India as a platform.”
Wirtgen, too, felt bC India is a must. Mr. Ramesh Palagiri, Managing Director & CEO, Wirtgen India, commented: “bC India is very important for the Wirtgen Group. Here in India, it is the most professional trade fair. We’ll participate in the next bC India too.”
The show also provided an excellent opportunity for signing up new business as Mr. Rajesh Shrivastava, General Manager – Marketing & Dealer Development of Terex India, confirmed: “We had customers coming and buying equipment right off the booth. We are very excited about the profile of the customers here at bC India.”
And this is how Mr. S. Baskar Babu, General Manager of Schwing Stetter India, summed up his company’s experience: “bC India as usual came out very well. The quality and the delivery was just unbeatable. We will definitely participate in every edition of bC India.”
Mr. Igor Palka, CEO of the organizer, bC Expo India, was most satisfied “that our exhibitors have so much trust in our brand and are continuing to support bC India in what is still a difficult economic environment. The event is now a firm date in the calendar for many companies and it has established itself. We have had a lot of positive feedback and, of course, we are delighted over that.”
