Media Globe and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers have reached an agreement to hold an expanded construction equipment exhibition in Russia beginning in 2010 at the Construction Equipment & Technologies (CTT) exhibition in Moscow. AEM will join forces with CTT owner and organizer Media Globe by establishing a ConExpo Russia exhibit area in the CTT exhibition.

The next CTT exhibition will be held June 1-5, 2010 at the Crocus International Exhibition Center in Moscow. With the agreement, AEM will not hold its separate CONEXPO Russia exhibition, last held in September 2008 and previously scheduled for September 2010.

“The current economic conditions make it very difficult for the manufacturers of construction equipment and their customers,” said AEM president Dennis Slater. “By joining forces with Media Globe to give the full support of AEM to CTT and organizing the ConExpo Russia exhibit area, we will be improving the opportunity of participants for a successful event.”
