Target a region worth US$2.9 billion per annum

From 2011 to 2017, Turkey is expected to have an annual average growth rate of 6.7%, making it the fastest-growing economy among the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) members. Turkey is also the second largest market of foreign construction industry contractors.

The country actively engages with its neighbours, including Iran, Syria and Jordan, in terms of construction machinery trade. This means by exhibiting at Ankomak, you can access multiple markets in these regions where the construction industry is worth US$2.9 billion per annum.

• Parallel to the International Hardware Fair Cologne
• Combined ticket provides access to both trade fairs
• Over 10,000 trade visitors expected from more than 100 countries
• Around 450 exhibitors display machinery for every sector of industry
• Strong market conditions for second-hand technology

USETEC hits the nail on the head. In 2012, the world’s largest trade fair for used machinery and equipment will take place in Cologne from Monday 5 to Wednesday 7 March – and for the first time parallel to the International Hardware Fair which begins one day earlier. Some 450 exhibitors will be displaying used technology for every sector of industry and commerce. The two organisers – Hess GmbH, Weingarten/Baden, and Koelnmesse – are expecting 10,000 buyers from more than 100 countries to attend the event (2011: 9,250). USETEC’s partner associations are similarly optimistic. “Every aspect of last year’s premiere of USETEC in Cologne was a success,” emphasises Kurt Radermacher. “Visitors and exhibitors last year were delighted with the venue in Cologne at the heart of Europe,” says the Managing Director of the Trade Association for Machine Tools + Tooling (FDM) in Bonn. “Our members are therefore looking forward to USETEC with considerable anticipation – not least because of the timing of the event to coincide with the International Hardware Fair.” The FDM, which is also the event’s technical sponsor, highlights the strong area of overlap between visitor target groups for the dynamic trade fair duo. “A combined ticket should promote the exchange between the two fairs,” says Radermacher. As Katharina C. Hamma, Managing Director of Koelnmesse GmbH, points out, “By running the events in parallel, we are able to tap new synergies for visitors and exhibitors. The sector now profits twice from a single trip to the trade fair in Cologne.”

In any case, the global conditions for the used machinery market are “currently advantageous”. This is the view of Jens Nagel, Managing Director of the Federation of the German Export Trade (BDEx) in Berlin. BDEx expects demand for used machinery to grow strongly again this year. “While German exports as a whole are forecast to rise by up to seven percent during 2012, we expect used machinery exports to grow by over ten percent,” predicts Nagel. He highlights the issue that new equipment is often not available or simply too expensive in the wake of the financial crisis. Second hand machines are seen as a good alternative. “This applies both to the emerging markets of Asia, South America and Africa and to EU countries as well as their neighbours in the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe.” USETEC partner BDEx has noticed that the demands of foreign buyers have continued to rise. “One consequence of the growing transparency in the market is that customers also have very specific ideas regarding the equipment manufacturer, technical specifications, year of construction and capacity they want,” says Jens Nagel. “It is also becoming ever more essential for sellers to be able to offer customers financing options for their machines,” he adds. Nearly one hundred BDEx member companies are active in the used machinery business. “The sector is therefore one of the most important elements of our association’s activities.”
