Voices from the industry
Marc Kallies
Branch Manager, Zeppelin Baumaschinen GmbH
What we like most about RATL is the quality of the discussions. The atmosphere at the event is relaxed, but still extremely professional. Here we can really focus on our customers and their needs.
Stefan Siefken
Sales Representative, Eggersmann GmbH
RATL is an outstanding exhibition that gives the industry exactly what it needs. We also meet international customers here from Switzerland, France and Austria, who make decisions on site at the event.
Nicole Ziesak

The trade fair is extremely interesting and well organised. The demonstrations in particular are really exciting. Being able to see how the machines work, instead of just hearing about it in theory, makes a big difference.
Site overview
OUTDOOR EXHIBITION AREA "Peter-Gross-Bau Areal": upgraded surface
The refurbished surface with drainage system is just one of the benefits that exhibitors in the outdoor exhibition area can look forward to at the fifth edition of RATL at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre. 12 km of underground construction and 30 km of power cables ensure reliable water and electricity supply, as well as wifi coverage. As RATL prioritises demonstration over presentation, the outdoor exhibition area "Peter-Gross-Bau Areal" will continue to give exhibitors who want to demonstrate their products the chance to showcase their machinery live in a trench depth of up to 1.20 m (deeper on request).
INDOOR EXHIBITION AREA
In the indoor exhibition area, we are continuing the layout plan that proved successful in past years. This revolves around a “fast lane” that leads visitors past the indoor stands on their way to the outdoor exhibition area "Peter-Gross-Bau Areal". As a result, the indoor exhibition area remains largely unaffected by the new outdoor structure.
Choose the participation concept that best suits your objectives:
In the outdoor exhibition area "Peter-Gross-Bau Areal", you have the choice between a static or a demonstration stand area. You can also book a stand space in the indoor exhibition area.
"Demonstration" outdoor stand space
Live and up close! Are your machines, systems and attachments at their most impressive in live operation? Then choose the demonstration presentation format and benefit from the most attractive pricing model.
"Static" outdoor stand space
Show off your product! This static format is ideal for showcasing your systems and machinery.
Indoor stand space
"Fast lane" to outdoor area: Position your products on the main walkway to the outdoor exhibition area "Peter-Gross-Bau Areal" and make your brand the centre of attention. Everyone will see you!

Are you looking for additional visibility at the exhibition grounds of the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre to round off your trade fair presentation perfectly?
This can include classic sponsoring, product placement or participation in one of the special theme areas or demonstration building sites. Interest aroused? Then let's get started!
FKM, the Society for the Voluntary Control of Fair and Exhibition Statistics, was founded in 1965. It made the comparability and reliability of trade-fair statistics one of its basic principles right from the start.
The FKM developed standardised rules for the collection of exhibitor, space and visitor statistics as well as for visitor profiles. Compliance with the rules are monitored by a professional auditor. After all, proper planning for exhibitors and visitors is only possible if they can be certain that existing data has been collected over time and in comparison with other trade fairs according to standard definitions.
Each year almost 70 organizers of some 300 trade fairs and exhibitions are subject to audits by FKM. RecyclingAKTIV & TiefbauLAIVE 2022 was also assessed by FKM.
