| Double highlight in Nuremberg  The exhibition duo of fensterbau/frontale and Holz-handwerk, which takes place in the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg every two years, will be the key forum for windows, doors, facades and the wood crafts once again from 24–27 March 2010. A surprisingly large demand for display spaces even during the crisis-stricken year 2009 casts hope on 2010 and promises a double highlight again. The two exhibitions, fensterbau/frontale and Holz-handwerk, have taken place in Nürnberg at the same time since 1992. The exhibition duo grew again in 2008 with altogether 102,881 trade visitors and 1,276 exhibitors from 34 countries. Holz-handwerk with its focus on Central Europe and fensterbau/frontale as world-leading exhibition in its sector both profited from Nürnberg's location in the south of Germany with its strong craft trade sector and the good international accessibility of the Franconian metropolis.The results were also convincing in 2008: nine out of ten companies said they had made new business connections, four out of ten exhibitors at fensterbau/frontale and as many as six out of ten at Holz-handwerk made direct sales during the exhibition – and practically all of them succeeded in reaching their major target groups by exhibiting in Nürnberg. The coming edition of the exhibition duo promises to be another great success: despite the crisis mood in many sectors of the economy, there is a surprisingly big demand for display space at both exhibitions. For the visitors who come to Nürnberg in March 2010, this means another comprehensive event with many new products and innovations. Live demonstrations at the action forum vector organized by VDMA and the ProWood Trust at Holz-handwerk show new products in practical applications. Additional information and inspiration are offered by the special show on the stand of the Fachverband Schreinerhandwerk Bayern (Bavarian Carpentry Association) in hall 12.0 and by the exhibitors at "Dreams of Wood" in the foyer of hall 12. Similar to fensterbau/frontale, where the highlights in the extensive supporting programme include events for specific target groups like the Forum Architecture – Windows – Facades, the metallbauTreff get-together, the IBS Conference and the special show by ift Rosenheim. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
