The trade fair pairing of RecyclingAKTIV & TiefbauLIVE enjoyed a successful debut in its first year at the new location in Karlsruhe. The international recycling and civil engineering industry came together from 27 to 29 April 2017 at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre. The inaugural joint event welcomed 7,500 industry visitors and around 600 representatives from exhibiting companies.
Both exhibitors and visitors were extremely satisfied with the event. This will spur us on to make the next trade fair in 2019 even better. We want to further develop this unique combination of topics and live demonstrations.
