CTT Expo

Russia’s Flagship Construction Equipment Exhibition

As the construction industry navigates technological transformation and evolving market dynamics, one event stands at the center of this evolution in Russia and Eastern Europe. From May 26 to 29, 2026, Moscow will host the International Trade Fair for Construction Equipment and Technologies “CTT Expo” at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre—the definitive annual gathering for professionals across the entire construction machinery value chain.

A Legacy of Excellence Since 1999

CTT Expo has established itself as the leading and only exhibition in Russia dedicated to construction machinery and technologies that brings together representatives from every region of the country, as well as a broad international audience. Founded in 1999, the exhibition has successfully completed twenty-five editions, cementing its position as the largest construction equipment exhibition in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

The 2025 anniversary edition marked a significant milestone—25 years of connecting industry professionals and showcasing innovation. The celebration featured the exhibition’s mascot, “Brigadier Bobrovich” (a beaver elected by industry specialists), special events for guests, and a commemorative film documenting CTT Expo‘s 25-year journey from its first sites on Khodynka Field to its current scale at Crocus Expo.
