EXHIBITION HISTORY

Since 1995, MosBuild has been Russia's largest and most prestigious event for the construction, building and interiors industry.

MosBuild is made up of several specialised exhibitions which bring together the best representatives of the building and interiors industry with a growing number of professionals from Russia, the CIS and several other countries worldwide.

In 2005, part of MosBuild moved to the new 'Crocus Expo' venue in Moscow and after the success of the move in 2006 Decotex will join Windows & Doors, Glass & Facades, Flooring and Interiors. Collectively, these events are known as MosBuild+. These events, in addition to those remaining at Moscow's premier exhibition venue, Expocentr, means that MosBuild 2006 will be the biggest in its history and it will occupy Moscow's two largest fairgrounds.
