EuroBLECH 2012 - Highly successful
EuroBLECH 2012, the international sheet metal working technology exhibition based in Hannover, Germany, concluded with exhibitors reporting a highly successful show.
A
total of 1,520 exhibitors from 39 countries, on a net exhibition space of 84,000 square metres across six halls, presented a range of innovative products for the complete sheet metal working chain.
Over 60,500 trade visitors attended the five-day exhibition,
equalling the visitor numbers of the previous show. Organisers reported that the first analysis of the visitor survey showed a significant shift towards highly qualified trade visitors. Some 75% of the visitors came from the industry, and the percentage of visitors from companies with more than 500 employees increased by 20%. There were also more visitors from top management, with 40% of all visitors attending EuroBLECH 2012 with the definite intention of buying. This is supported by several companies confirming that
they had agreed orders with visitors for machines at the show. One such company was Haeger Europe BV, a manufacturer of fastener installation systems, who has exhibited at EuroBLECH for the last 10 years. Jasper Hoogstad, inside sales at Haeger, commented: “We are very happy with the show. Our stand was constantly busy and we signed orders for seven machines during the five-days.” Heinz Soyer, with staff dressed in local Bavarian outfits, also
confirmed that it had sold two machines at the show, with lots of other interesting visitors to its stand throughout each day. Sven-Thorsten Buchweitz, head of sales at Gebr TITGEMEYER
GmbH & Co KG, said that the company had received over 100 visitors on each day of the show, with a lot of those visitors being good quality leads. Fixi Srl, the Italian producer of blind rivets, threaded inserts,
self-clinching fasteners and welding screws, went as far as to say that it was THE show to exhibit at. With the current economic situation remaining uncertain a
lot of exhibitors admitted to being concerned pre-show about exhibiting. However, they all reported being highly satisfied with the quantity and quality of visitors. Exhibitors confirmed that the opportunity to meet with new and existing customers, as well as the opportunity to explore new markets, made EuroBLECH a must attend event for any company interested in the sheet metal industry. According to the organisers’ exhibitor survey, exhibiting
companies also scored the show highly for the large number of innovations presented at the show and for its particular high internationality. Organisers stated that over 70% of the exhibitors indicated
on-site that they intended to exhibit again at the next exhibition. EuroBLECH 2014 will take place from 21st at the Hannover exhibition grounds.
