Nürnberg Global Fairs: Merges with parent company NürnbergMesse

The exhibition and pavilion organization company Nürnberg Global Fairs (NGF) merged with its parent company NürnbergMesse GmbH (NürnbergMesse) on 1 January 2010. The merger is part of the expansion strategy announced in 2009: NürnbergMesse plans to move up to the Top Ten leading international exhibition venues by 2020 by doubling its turnover from 150 million to 300 million euros. International turnover alone is to rise to 50 million euros. This will be achieved by founding more and more local subsidiaries, as most recently in Brazil and Italy in 2009.

The previous separate brand presence of NGF and the four subsidiaries NürnbergMesse Brasil, NürnbergMesse China, NürnbergMesse Italia and NürnbergMesse North America ceases with the merging of NGF into NürnbergMesse. In future, the exhibition company and its international subsidiaries will appear worldwide under the same brand "NürnbergMesse". The five exhibitions previously managed by NGF in India, Japan, North America and Russia and the international pavilions will continue to be organized by the established teams.

Petra Wolf has been Executive Director International Operations at NürnbergMesse since 1 October 2009. The 39-year-old has worked for NürnbergMesse for more than twelve years, where her responsibilities included marketing and communication for leading international exhibitions like Chillventa, IWA & OutdoorClassics, POWTECH and GaLaBau. In her new position she will expand International Operations and support NürnbergMesse on its way to the Top Ten of the world's leading exhibition companies.
