Bau expands its network in Asia

World-leading trade fair Bau expands its network in Asia: Messe München acquired Glasstech Asia / Fenestration Asia, the leading trade fair for glass manufacturing, processing and machinery in the ASEAN (The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, ndr) region.

“The acquisition of Glasstech and Fenestration Asia as well as the cooperation with Cwa (China National Building Waterproof Association, ndr) contribute to the expansion of our Bau network in the strategically important Asian market. Both strengthen Bau China as the leading industry platform in Asia as well as the world’s leading trade fair Bau in Munich”, said Reinhard Pfeiffer, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Messe München. “This makes Glasstech Asia the ideal complement to Bau China with its Fenestration Bau China sub-brand”, he concluded.

The agreement provides that CWA’s China Roofing & Waterproofing Expo will be integrated into BAU China from 2020. “With China Roofing & Waterproofing Expo we are integrating another new exhibition sector into Bau China. Building waterproofing is very central to the region and the demand for both structural and architectural solutions is correspondingly high”, explained Matthias Strauss, Exhibition Director for the Bau network in Asia.

 The first edition directed by Messe München will take place in November 2020 in Bangkok.
