Messe München International has extended its portfolio of trade fairs to include a further event for the construction machinery sector: a strategic cooperation has been agreed with the organiser of CONSTECH, Thailand´s leading construction machinery trade fair. "Thailand is the second-largest sales market for construction machinery in Southeast Asia.

As part of this cooperation, we can now also offer our customers a professional platform for their sales and marketing activities in Thailand," commented Eugen Egetenmeir, Managing Director of Messe München.

The next CONSTECH takes place from 22 to 24 September 2011 at the IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center in Bangkok. CONSTECH is organised by IMPACT Exhibition Management Co. Ltd., and one of the fair´s biggest sponsors is the Thai Contractors Association, the country´s leading association for construction machinery manufacturers. Covering an exhibition area of 5,000 m² CONSTECH is the largest construction machinery trade fair in Thailand.

"The further international expansion of our trade fairs is a strategic goal of Messe München. Over the coming years, too, we will be consistently stepping up our activities outside Germany – either by exporting the successful concepts behind our leading trade fairs in Munich, or, where sensible, entering into cooperation agreements with strong local partners," said Egetenmeir.
