RecyclingAKTIV & TiefbauLIVE (RATL)

The demonstration trade fair for waste disposal and recycling & road and civil engineering

RecyclingAKTIV & TiefbauLIVE – compact, personal & outdoor.

From 27 to 29 April 2023, the recycling and civil engineering industry met at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre, which, with Germany's third-largest outdoor exhibition area, provided the thematically unique trade fair duo with the ideal setting for unique live demonstrations.

On three trade fair days expenditure, construction, demolition and landscaping contractors, waste management companies and all related industry players found a condensed information presentation of the product portfolio for recycling technology, construction machinery and construction equipment with the least time. Thereby, the demonstration trade fair picked up on current industry topics and offered space for personal consultation directly at the equipment on about 95,000 square metres!

The unique feature: tailor-made machine solutions for the challenges of the markets were brought to life in hands-on process sequences - either directly at the trade fair stand or on one of the five demonstration building sites and special theme areas. The non-stop live demonstrations in thematic show concepts enabled the trade audience to directly compare products and thus provided impulses for increasing efficiency in their own operations!

SAVE THE DATE: The next edition of the Demonstration Trade Fair will take place from 9 to 11 October 2025.

The combination of topics convinces me and highlights the trade fair positively. Our customers are interested in both recycling technology and civil engineering and can experience both topics here at a trade fair.

"Back to live" - virtual events are only a temporary alternative to live events for us. We want to finally appeal to all senses (see, hear, touch) with our visitors again. The presentation of our equipment and services as well as the personal contact with our customers are the main reason for our participation at RecyclingAKTIV & TiefbauLIVE

I would like to emphasize the great preparation for the trade fair, the organization on site and the helpfulness of the entire trade fair management. The long set-up times also played into our hands, as we traveled all the way from Switzerland.

MTS has been part of RecyclingAKTIV & TiefbauLIVE from the very beginning, which we use to maintain our customer relationships. Every building contractor is now also involved with recycling, which is why we appreciate the combination of the two sectors here at this double trade fair. We also like the family atmosphere and compactness of the site.

Finally there is something going on again - it is dredged, dusted and cracked. We are happy to be close to the customer again. We can show a lot here and the customers are very interested. We're taking this euphoria with us, we've already been able to get many deals off the ground.

The double fair is an absolute must for every manufacturer or dealer in the construction industry. The open and well thought-out design of the supporting program means that you can network again after a long time without a trade fair.

I have a positive feeling about the specialist audience on site. This enabled us to conduct high-quality discussions in a goal-oriented and, above all, result-oriented manner. We are happy that we were here and will always come back to Karlsruhe. Nothing can replace a fair, except a fair!

The quality of the visitors is very high, the most important decision-makers are there and concrete deals have already been made. Trade fairs enable networking and maintaining personal contacts - we all noticed through Corona that this has become even more important.
