Holz-Handwerk and fensterbau/frontale

With a renovated exhibition center for a 46 million euro investment, NürnbergMesse is ready for the next joint exhibitions fensterbau/frontale (www.frontale.de) – the international exhibition of windows, doors and facades – and Holz-Handwerk (www.holz-handwerk.de) – the European show of wood handicraft technology, machinery, equipment and accessories – scheduled from 24 to 27 March 2010.
In the wake of the success of the past edition (2008), with 102,881 visitors and 1,276 exhibitors from 34 countries, the show organizers have great expectations for 2010. Figures were the key message at their press conference in Milan.
Despite the crisis that has hit all economic sectors, the demand of exhibition surface is high for both exhibitions: just like in 2008, they expect to reach 96 thousand square meters of gross exhibition area at fensterbau/frontale and 49,800 square meters at Holz-Handwerk.
The organizers are also confident to repeat the 1,276 exhibitor result of 2008, and the probabilities are quite good if you consider that, as early as October 2008, about 85 percent of the exhibition surface had already been secured.
They are less optimistic on the visitor side, although they hope to repeat at least the same results of past events. “We consider we have achieved our goal when exhibitors and visitors are satisfied – said Guido Welk, press office manager of NürnbergMesse – As a matter of fact, an exhibition is successful when you make business and the aisles are full of people”.
