| fensterbau/frontale India 2011 With the first edition of fensterbau/frontale India, the Trade Fair Window, Door and Facade enters the highly interesting and promising market on the Indian subcontinent. fensterbau/frontale India, the International Exhibition & Conference Window, Door and Facade, takes place in the Pragati Maidan Exhibition Centre in the Indian capital New Delhi from 24–26 February 2011 parallel to ACREX INDIA 2011, India's biggest exhibition for refrigeration, air conditioning and building services. Some 1.2 billion inhabitants on an area nine times as large as Germany, one of the largest economies in the world with an estimated real growth in Gross Domestic Product of almost nine per cent in 2010 – India is a land of superlatives with great future potential. Around nine per cent of the GDP comes from the building sector, which has grown by more than seven per cent over the previous two years 2008/2009 and is one of India's main sectors. Building materials with a 4.3 per cent share of total imports are among the major import goods (source: Germany Trade & Invest, Gesellschaft für Außenwirtschaft und Standortmarketing mbH, Cologne). Holding the premiere of fensterbau/frontale India parallel to the established ACREX INDIA (organizer: ISHRAE – Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating, Air Conditioning Engineers) creates interesting synergies. The 11th ACREX INDIA with 330 exhibitors attracted more than 15, 000 visitors to the Bombay Exhibition Centre in 2010. Willy Viethen, Exhibition Director of fensterbau/frontale at NürnbergMesse, is delighted with the possibilities: "In terms of integrated building concepts, both exhibitions together offer an ideal forum for architects, planners and other specialists from the building industry. The spectrum of products and services shown by the participating companies and institutions is supplemented with additional information and networking opportunities at the conference – a perfect combination." Some 80 to 90million homes and thousands of office buildings are to be built in India in the coming ten to fifteen years. "Making business contacts here in good time is an investment in the future, " Viethen is convinced. The products on display at fensterbau/frontale India 2011 include profiles, semi-finished materials, materials, production aids, components and prefabricated elements, hardware, fixing equipment, shading and ventilating equipment, machines, installations and tools, operating systems and equipment, office organization, services, associations, research & development, and technical information. The exhibition is enhanced by the conference on "Envelopes for Green Buildings" with an extensive information programme on current trends and developments. The conference programme focuses on the topics of energy efficiency, shading, security, temperature and sound insulation, and a detailed examination of the Indian and international market. The quality of the exhibition and conference is assured by the fensterbau/frontale team in Nürnberg and the cooperation with the partners, the Institute for Window Technology (ift Rosenheim), the IFF International Fenestration Forum, India, and the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Exhibition News :: home page |
