The first edition of ARENA M&T will take place in October 2026 at the Centro Multieventos, in the municipality of Fazenda Rio Grande, Paraná.
With a strong focus on live equipment demonstrations, Messe München do Brasil is launching ARENA M&T, a traveling, open-air event that will bring the most advanced equipment and leading solutions in components and services to different regions of the country. The event is designed to serve the construction, mining, rental, infrastructure, agribusiness, forestry, and urban works sectors, showcasing real-world equipment operations and challenges, as well as the benefits, technologies, and innovations in machinery for construction and mining, concrete and asphalt, and lifting equipment for loads and people.
The first edition of ARENA M&T is scheduled to take place from October 21 to 23, 2026, at the Centro Multieventos, in the municipality of Fazenda Rio Grande, in the state of Paraná.
The event is an expansion of M&T Expo – part of bauma NETWORK, the leading trade fair for construction and mining machinery and equipment in Latin America, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025.
“With positive prospects for infrastructure projects and the real estate sector, as well as the continued growth of the mining, rental, agribusiness, and forestry segments, demand for machinery remains strong. In this context, ARENA M&T offers a unique opportunity for these markets to experience different equipment families up close, gaining a clear understanding of their technology and productivity in order to select the machines best suited to their specific needs,” explains Rolf Pickert, CEO of Messe München do Brasil, the event organizer. The fair has the institutional support of the Brazilian Association of Equipment Technology and Management (Sobratema), the support of the Municipality of Fazenda Rio Grande, and is co-organized by the Fazenda Rio Grande Development Company (CODEF).
The state of Paraná was selected to host the first edition due to its strong infrastructure investments: more than 25% of all public investment in Paraná in 2024 was allocated to highways, strengthening logistics and regional integration. In addition, the state accounts for 11.2% of Brazil’s national cement production, consolidating its position as one of the country’s leading industrial hubs. This year, mineral production in Paraná reached a record level, totaling BRL 2.65 billion.
Over the course of three days, visitors will be able to experience real-life equipment demonstrations through themed arenas, highlighting performance, competitive advantages, and innovation. Each arena will be dedicated to a specific segment. The construction and mining equipment arena will feature machinery for material handling, compaction, earthmoving, foundations, drilling, crushing, and demolition, among others. In the concrete and asphalt segment, equipment for production, transport, and pumping will be showcased, including concrete batching plants, asphalt plants, pumps, crushers, screens, conveyor belts, spraying, asphalt compaction, road paving, milling, and pavement recycling. The third arena will be dedicated to lifting equipment for loads and people.
ARENA M&T will also feature a dedicated area for the components and services sector and will include an exhibition of pre-owned machinery, creating valuable opportunities for dealers and rental companies to expand their business and strengthen their regional presence.
In terms of audience, the event is expected to attract construction and mining companies, concessionaires, rental companies and equipment operators, engineers, technicians, and professionals responsible for the planning, execution, and supervision of construction, mining, and infrastructure projects, as well as representatives from regulatory agencies and government bodies, and professionals from the agribusiness, forestry, silviculture, and agroforestry sectors.
“Each edition of ARENA M&T will be held in a different region, in years when M&T Expo – part of bauma NETWORK does not take place, with the aim of bringing new developments to these locations. These regions are important economic growth hubs, receive significant investment, and offer strong potential to foster new connections, business opportunities, and hands-on experiences,” Pickert concludes.
