MINING CTT 2026: a premiere that confirmed the industry’s strong interest

From May 26 to 29, 2026, the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center in Moscow hosted the premiere of MINING CTT 2026 — a new industry event for players in the mining machinery market, as well as providers of equipment for extraction, geological exploration, processing and transportation of minerals, and digital innovative solutions for the mining industry.

We are particularly pleased that the launch of MINING CTT has generated such a strong response from the professional community. This underscores a key point: the industry needs a platform not just to showcase technologies, but also to shape the agenda, build partnerships, and set the direction for development. We have laid a solid foundation and see enormous potential to grow the project, strengthen it, and turn it into a flagship industry event,  said Anna Shorina, Director of the MINING CTT exhibition.

A platform for technology, business, and industry collaboration

Over the four exhibition days, participants showcased a wide range of cutting edge solutions for the mining industry. Among the exhibitors were companies driving the industry’s development: BELAZ, GPB COMPLECT (ESTAR), RESCHKE RUS, STROYIMPORTTEKHNIKA, LIUGONG, ARMET GROUP, GEOMASH, TEKHSTROYKONTRAKT, PROFESSIONAL, CHETRA, HENGPU, ALTAYBURMASH (ZEGA), XCMG, NFLG, LONMADI, KWINTMADI, MOZBT, ISTK, LGMG, RUSGIDROSERVIS, SANY, ZOOMLION, MESDA, GPFK, MEKA, GOODENG, GIDRAVLIKA MEKHSERVICE, DISS GROUP, KREDO DIALOG, DORING, VS MASHINERI RUS, and many others.

For more details about the exhibitors, please read on the pages of CTT Digest magazine — the exhibition’s general information partner, the Zen channel “Construction Equipment and Transport”, as well as on the Excavator.Ru portal — the official digital partner, which has prepared a series of interviews with the exhibition participants right from the site.

78% of the exhibitors rated their participation in the exhibition positively, and 90% would recommend it to their partners and colleagues.

We have exhibited heavy machinery before, but now we’re doing it within the framework of MINING CTT, presenting two different stands — so our target customers immediately focus on the mining equipment,highlighted Denis Lebedev from Rusbusinessauto.

Mining is a very large segment for us. We consider it a great advantage that people don’t have to visit multiple locations — all our partners, clients, and friends can come to one place at the same time, see the full range of equipment, and discuss various cooperation formats, said Andrey Golubev from Tekhstroykontrakt.

The exhibition brought together 10,715 professional visitors from 18 countries and 66 regions of the Russian Federation, becoming a significant unifying platform for industry representatives.

The largest share of the exhibition’s audience consisted of specialists from Moscow and the Moscow Region, Saint Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, as well as the Sverdlovsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Chelyabinsk, and Novosibirsk Regions. A significant number of participants came from the Murmansk and Kemerovo Regions, as well as from the Yamalo‑Nenets Autonomous District.

This geographic spread of attendees clearly underscores the exhibition’s interregional and international reach, as well as its importance in advancing professional dialogue and reinforcing business connections.

A key indicator of the audience quality is the high professional status of the visitors. According to the data, 72% of the exhibition guests (7,786 people) hold managerial positions, and 90% (9,608 people) are involved in making strategic decisions, including matters related to supply and procurement.

The exhibition impresses with its scale: it’s a great opportunity to see the variety of equipment, get a sense of where the industry is heading, and get acquainted with new technologies. We really like it, and our impressions are entirely positive. This exhibition is, in a way, a barometer for the mining industry: we can assess demand and supply, and we can see the market dynamics in terms of clients and suppliers, shared Olga Timoshchuk from Altayburmash (ZEGA RUIKE).

For a significant portion of the professional audience, the MINING CTT exhibition has become a source of up‑to‑date industry information and practical solutions. Thus, 46% of visitors (4,896 people) came to the exhibition to obtain reliable data on the market situation, key trends, technological innovations, and cutting‑edge developments. Another 40% of guests (4,326 people) view the exhibition as an effective platform for finding new suppliers and business partners, as well as for expanding their professional network.

A particularly important indicator is that 37% of visitors (3,934 people) already indicated their intention to purchase products and services for production and business at the registration stage. This highlights not only the high status of the audience but also their genuine interest in achieving concrete business outcomes.

At exhibitions of this level, significant and important negotiations take place between major mining companies and our management. It’s always an opportunity both to meet in person and to discuss current issues, as well as to make strategic decisions for the future, stated Alexander Netid from LGRU.

MINING CTT in EXPO+ format

Participants particularly highlighted the benefit of holding MINING CTT together with with CTT Expo, the leading exhibition for construction machinery and technologies. This joint format notably increased audience reach and contributed to highly productive business meetings.

CTT is a very popular exhibition, and many people in the regions know it and come to it on purpose: visitors travel from the Far East all the way to the Moscow Region. The fact that CTT has started developing the mining segment is very interesting and very important. This is a highly promising direction. It offers decent competition, and the interest from many customers is clearly visible, said Alexey Onegin from GPB COMPLECT (ESTAR).

Introducing the mining segment is a very interesting and valuable initiative. We are involved in mining ourselves, but we’re also developing new areas — and this gives us a great opportunity to meet new clients, find buyers, and showcase our product. The synergy of five different segments helps attract a much larger audience, which in turn allows us to expand the scale of the event, noted Olga Timoshchuk from Altayburmash (ZEGA, RUIKE).

97% of participants and 92% of visitors to EXPO+ exhibitions highlighted the high value of the format that brings together related industry sectors on a single platform. This approach strengthens business synergy, expands opportunities for finding solutions, and enables participants to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the market.

The synergy of the segments works very well for us. On a single stand, we can showcase mining excavators, wheel loaders, as well as solutions for road, construction, and mining applications. Clients often need a variety of equipment — from smaller machines for local jobs to large‑scale machinery for major projects, highlighted Maxim Ivanita from LOVOL.

We have experience in conducting comprehensive negotiations where both construction and mining equipment are discussed within a single contract. This approach enables us to tailor solutions to meet the client’s diverse needs,noted Tatyana Russkikh from ZOOMLION.

The MINING CTT exhibition and the technologies presented there generated considerable interest among the audiences of related exhibitions. Solutions for the mining sector attracted the attention of 45% of CTT Expo visitors, 18% of COMvex attendees, 20% of CTO Expo professionals, and 21% of Logistika Expo visitors. These figures confirm the high potential of cross‑sector collaboration and the strong demand for MINING CTT solutions among professionals from various market segments.

We find the format of hosting multiple exhibitions on a single venue very appealing. A key reason is the concurrent MINING CTT exhibition: those visitors naturally flow towards our stand and also pay attention to our products. We’ve been able to hold very productive negotiations, said Alexander Korzanov from LLC “Professional”.

EXPO+ achieved impressive results: the exhibitions were attended by 65,457 professionals; 1,597 exhibitors from 9 countries presented their latest developments, equipment, technological solutions, and special offers; and the exhibition occupied a vast area of 163,055 sq. m. This made it one of the key platforms for showcasing innovations, facilitating business communication, and developing industry partnerships.

From technologies to development strategies, the MINING CTT business programme brought together market experts

The exhibition’s display area was complemented by a rich business programme focused on current challenges and future development prospects in the mining industry. The venue brought together representatives of leading mining companies, equipment manufacturers, engineering software developers, scientific and engineering organisations, as well as international experts.

The key discussion topics included technological independence, digital transformation, improving operational efficiency, industrial safety, standardisation, innovation implementation, and the development of domestic solutions. The business programme was designed as a platform for professional knowledge exchange, discussion of practical cases, and identification of tools to enhance the resilience and productivity of enterprises.

One of the key events was the 6th International Conference “The Future of the Mining Industry”. The event was held with the support of the journal Mining Industry and the NP “Mining Entrepreneurs of Russia” association, represented by its President, Valery Afanasyevich Yazev. The programme included a panel discussion and specialised sessions dedicated to the key development areas of the sector.

The discussions involved representatives of the largest companies in the mining sector and related fields, including PJSC “Polyus”, PJSC AK “Alrosa”, LLC “Polymetal”, PJSC “MMC Norilsk Nickel”, and JSC “Russian Copper Company”, as well as manufacturers of industrial and mining equipment, such as PJSC “KAMAZ”, “CHETRA”, “BELAZ”, “Sibelectro”, and other enterprises.

Participants paid particular attention to the issue of technological independence in the Russian mining industry. Experts discussed the current results of import substitution, the objectives related to production localisation, as well as the prospects for developing and launching serial production of machinery and equipment, robotic systems, and other solutions required for the stable operation of mining enterprises.

A significant part of the programme was dedicated to digitalisation and the implementation of modern engineering solutions. During the panel discussion, experts examined the potential for using digital twins, domestic engineering software, artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics systems. Participants noted that digital tools are becoming an important factor in improving production efficiency, reducing risks, and strengthening industrial safety.

The practical aspects of production management were the main focus of the expert session “How to Improve the Operational Efficiency of a Mining Enterprise”, with Rit Automation as the partner company. During the discussion, participants analysed real cases, management approaches, and measurable effects from the implementation of technological solutions.

International cooperation also held an important place in the business programme. Experts from Mongolia, China, and Russia discussed equipment supply issues, practical experience in operating machinery under various conditions, and the prospects for using innovative lubricants to improve the reliability and efficiency of industrial equipment.

The MINING CTT business programme demonstrated the professional community’s strong interest in practice‑oriented solutions for the mining industry. The discussions confirmed that the sector’s future development is linked to the comprehensive implementation of domestic technologies, the expansion of digital tools, the strengthening of production cooperation, and systematic efforts to improve the efficiency and safety of mining operations.
