Kuzbass Fair, Messe Düsseldorf Group and OOO Messe Düsseldorf Moscow are postponing the top industry event for the Russian coal industry UGOL ROSSII & MINING, NEDRA ROSSII and SAFETY & HEALTH from 04 - 07 June to 08 - 11 September 2020. By shifting the dates, the organizers are reacting to the global effects of Coronavirus/Covid-19 and the recommendation of the Russian Ministry of Health.
"Together with all partners involved, this decision was made due to the worldwide effects of the Coronavirus. It was crucial for us to get an alternate date for our trade fairs so quickly in order to allow exhibitors, visitors and the media to make reliable plans," says Erhard Wienkamp, Managing Director of Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, and adds: "Our partners can trust us to act responsibly even in difficult situations."
UGOL ROSSII & MINING together with NEDRA ROSSII and SAFETY & HEALTH is the leading trade fair for the Russian mining industry. International exhibitors will present their innovations and services in the fields of coal mining technology, preparation and materials handling (UGOL ROSSII & MINING), exploitation, processing and refining of metals and industrial minerals (NEDRA ROSSII) and occupational health and safety for the mining industry (SAFETY & HEALTH) to thousands of trade visitors. German companies will again be able to present themselves at a joint stand sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) to the Russian market. Messe Düsseldorf organises the BMWi Pavilion as well as the international participation and is the point of contact for interested companies. Exhibitors can still register and are requested to contact Messe Düsseldorf GmbH, Markus Liedtke, LiedtkeM@messe-duesseldorf.de, Tel.: +49 211 4560 7705.
