Orgatec 2014 came to a close on Saturday 25 October with extremely positive results. The industry’s opinion barometer was clearly indicating a high! The leading international trade fair for Office & Object showed strong growth, particularly in the areas of internationality and quality as well as in the range and diversity of products and services. With more than 50,000 visitors from more than 120 countries Orgatec 2014 indicated a slight increase in visitor figures on 2012. This is due to the growth in international visitors (up 7 per cent). The trade fair recorded a significant, double-digit increase above all in visitors from the Middle East, North America, North and South Africa and China. Visitor figures from within Europe were also up, particularly visitors from Turkey, Italy and Spain. With all 105,000 sqm of its exhibition space completely booked up, the 624 exhibitors from 41 countries with 66 percent of those from abroad underlined Orgatec’s international importance.
Plenty of well-being, communication, technology and movement. Orgatec 2014 had a strong focus on the noticeable changes in today’s working environment. A central theme was the design of communication-friendly work place concepts which simultaneously offered places of retreat as locations for concentrated work with a cosy atmosphere. Alongside furnishing, exhibitors presented innovative acoustics solutions and lighting concepts. Another major focus at this year’s Orgatec was integrated technology and the possibilities of sharing, forwarding and jointly processing knowledge and information via cutting-edge technology. The credo was a sense of well-being in the office as well as more movement, promoting and improving employees’ health and thereby motivation levels and working capacity of staff.
The next Orgatec will take place from 25 to 29 October 2016.
