The moderators Margit Bacher and Markus Lewandowski opened the fourth Cutting Pro Competition with the competition’s well-known battle cry: "Ready, set - cut". The participants competed against each other in pairs on the large stage, concentrated, focused and fiercely determined to conquer the thick concrete walls with the wall saw, core drill and hand saw and to do so faster than their opponents. Around 700 international trade visitors contributed to the extraordinary atmosphere and the energetic live music created the perfect context for this top Tyrolit event.
