The 31st Bauma Fair takes place in Munich from 11th to 17th April 2016.

The Tadano booth will follow the theme of the company’s slogan: ‘Lifting your dreams’.

Among the new machines on display will be the ground-breaking ATF 600G-8 all terrain, which with its revolutionary Triple-Boom System is likely to be a technical highlight of the entire fair. It is quite unlike any crane ever produced. The ATF 600G-8 was shown in prototype form in June 2015 to invited guests at a company Crane Day at the Nuremberg Messe near to the Tadano Faun factory in Lauf.

Bauma 2016 represents the first opportunity for the wider public to see this innovation.

Other machines that will be exhibited on the Tadano stand include the GR-1450EX rough terrain crane and the Tadano Mantis GTC-800 telescopic boom crawler crane, as well as the entire ATF family of all terrains.

The Bauma Fair is the world’s biggest trade show for construction machinery and equipment. It takes place every three years and the 2016 event comes at a good time for Tadano, with its international sales on the rise.

In the first half of the 2015 financial year Tadano’s international sales (outside of Japan) rose 3.2% to ¥53.3bn and with domestic sales rising an even healthier 9.5%, total first-half sales topped ¥100bn for the first time. Net sales reached ¥104.2bn (2014 H1: ¥98.1bn) and with net income up by nearly 18% to more than ¥10.7bn, it was the fifth consecutive year of interim fiscal year growth for Tadano.

Compared to the previous fiscal year, sales grew by 13.3% in North America, 14.9% in the Middle East, and 7.8% in Asia. They fell by 2.9% in Europe but Tadano hopes that Bauma will provide a stimulus to help European sales return to growth too.

The Tadano booth at Bauma 2016 will be located in the outdoor area F12, stand number F1205.
