| NürnbergMesse grows to a new revenue dimension  NürnbergMesse, one of the 20 largest exhibition companies in the world and among the Top Ten in Europe, has an appreciable leap in revenue and profit to show in the year ending 2010: "With respect to the more comparable year 2008, our revenue has increased by 30per cent to over 200million euros and profit has exploded to more than seven million euros, also a record level, " says Bernd A. Diederichs, Managing Director of NürnbergMesse. The group has thus clearly exceeded its own forecasts made in the summer of this year.The revenue of NürnbergMesse has increased five-fold since 1997 and now tops 200 million euros for the first time. This makes the company the fastest-growing exhibition company in Europe. But growth alone is not everything for the Nürnberg exhibition manager. Almost all segments of NürnbergMesse contributed to the rise in revenue and profit in the current year in relation to the more comparable year 2008: Own and partner events: up 23% to some 86 million euros Exhibition Services: up 80% to 47 million euros International: up 90% to 18 million euros Guest events: up 10% to 39 million euros The only drop is shown by the CCN CongressCenter Nürnberg, where revenue has fallen by 20% to ten million euros. This year, more than 29, 000 exhibitors (2008: 27,128) and around 1.47million visitors (2008: 1.26) took part in the 157 events (2008:173) in the portfolio of the NürnbergMesse Group in Germany and abroad. In view of the dynamic development of NürnbergMesse, the number of employees has risen appreciably this year: whereas an average of 329 persons were employed throughout the concern in 2009, the figure in 2010 is some 440, including 52 apprentices, trainees and students at the university of cooperative education. New events in the exhibition and congress programme at the Nürnberg location in 2011 include FeuerTRUTZ, the Trade Fair with Congress for Preventive Fire Protection, and HOSPITAL BUILD EUROPE has been obtained as a new guest event. The exhibition and congress covers the whole segment of hospital construction and operation. A well-known touring event also makes a stop in Nürnberg in 2011: INTERGEO, the conference and trade fair for geodesy, geoinformation and land management. The international portfolio of the NürnbergMesse Group has two exhibition premieres and a new organization contract to show, which focus on India: fensterbau/frontale india makes its debut in New Delhi parallel to ACREX INDIA, which NürnbergMesse is supporting in 2011 as international marketing partner and organizing company. Chillventa Rossija in Moscow also celebrates its premiere as an exhibition following the successful congress event. As the odd years in the NürnbergMesse Group are still weaker, Diederichs assumes a revenue of over 160 million euros for the NürnbergMesse Group in 2011, following 132 million euros in the more comparable year 2009. NürnbergMesse has invested more than 150 million euros in the site and its products in the last five years. The completed redesign of the Mitte (central) area alone accounted for 47 million of this. New priorities are to be assigned to the investment volume planned for the period from 2011 to 2015. NürnbergMesse purchased 100per cent of the present NürnbergMesse Brasil and the art fair europe in 2009 and entered into a 50-per-cent partnership with the exhibition construction services provider Holtmann in 2010. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Exhibition News :: home page |
