HOMAG Group AG sees record number of visitors at major industry trade fairs
Schopfloch, April 1, 2010 HOMAG Group received positive feedback and a
great deal of interest in the products on display at the major industry
trade fairs HOLZ-HANDWERK and fensterbau frontale, held at the same time in
Nuremberg every two years. Order intake is up 50 percent on the previous
record year of 2006. HOMAG Group was better able than most to take
advantage of the highly positive mood at the trade fairs. Jürgen Köppel,
Head of Sales, reported around 1,400 intense contact meetings, of which 70
percent resulted in concrete offers or further appointments for meetings,
raising expectations of favorable post-trade fair business.
According to data collected by the company, fairgoers were more
international this year, with 20 percent coming from overseas. HOMAG Group
provided information to customers from almost 30 countries. Eastern Europe,
Italy and France were strongly represented, but contact was also made with
representatives from Canada, the US, Japan and the Middle East. 'These
important global trade fairs gave us a perfect start for 2010' is Jürgen
Köppel's assessment.
Visitors to HOMAG Group's stand were given the opportunity to experience a
number of patented innovations at first hand. In an area of 1,500 m², the
group presented more than 30 machines with a range of innovative solutions
focusing on increasing productivity, lowering production costs and
improving the efficient use of resources.
