In addition a supplementary grant of £1,200 is available to exhibitors in Brazil and £500 for exhibitors in Turkey.

The FMCEC makes it easy for your company to exhibit around the world. We can arrange anything from bare space to a fully fitted turnkey stand. We can help with freight, insurance, accommodation and logistics. Special discounts are available to companies exhibiting at two or more supported exhibitions in 2001-2002. 

Make it easy for yourself and your company - exhibit with the experts

A record number of British companies will exhibit at Bauma 2001. Over 120 British exhibitors representing a wide spectrum of the construction equipment, mining, tunnelling, concrete, vehicle and building equipment sectors will fly the British flag at Bauma - the recognised world’s fair for construction equipment.

Comprising OEMs, component suppliers, service providers, research and trade press, the FMCEC is pleased to be able to help companies obtain grant support through the Trade Partners UK SESA scheme. However, as Bauma is now designated as a Core Event, only two grant aided participations are allowed in any ten year period. This means that a number of British companies are not eligible to receive grant and, therefore, feel unable to exhibit. The FMCEC offers a solution - the British Pavilion Display Package. From only £125 (plus VAT) companies are able to have a visible presence at Bauma, including graphic display and literature distribution - and a meeting / hospitality facility.

IVT EXPO : 19-21 June 2001 - Stuttgart, Germany

June 2000 saw the successful launch of IVT Expo in Hamburg, Germany. The show was targeted specifically at OEM engineers and designers and provided component manufacturers with a platform from which to display their technologies to a 100% relevant visitor group. The show attracted just over 2,000 senior OEM engineering and design staff from over 33 countries. Compared to an end user show this number was small, but the genuine quality of the visitors was excellent - "like finding the gold without having to shift all the gravel" as one exhibitor remarked.

The 2001 event moves to Stuttgart and will run from 19-21 June. Alongside the show will be a three-day conference where selected speakers can discuss issues affecting their work in industrial vehicle design and engineering. Topics will include vehicle design trends, advanced materials, drive system for electric forklifts, man-machine interface and engine and powertrain technologies. Opportunities still exist to present a paper at the conference.
