more spontaneous customer contacts than previously, and we could not be more delighted. Domotex is without doubt the most important trade fair for us.” Attendance was also a “must” for Mirco Schäpe, Product Manager LVT at JAB Teppiche Heinz Anstoetz KG in Herford-Elverdissen, Germany. He spends several days at every event to meet existing and potential suppliers and “get a feel for emerging trends”. Michael Massmann, the National Sales Manager and Vice President of Textile Trading Group, Winter Park, USA, said he used event mainly to generate new leads. He said: “We are naturally also keen on establishing new, preferably long-term, customer relationships, while at the same time deepening our relations

We took a look at the Treff punkt Handwerk skilled trades corner in particular, because that is a great place to pick up new ideas.” He went on: “I also took advantage of my visit to meet my peers. What I also fi nd interesting are new developments for occupational health and safety, such as extraction systems and ionization equipment for binding dust. “After all, your lungs are very precious – and this is the place I
have learned about a variety of new technologies which I plan to introduce at our fi rm. In general, we are highly open to
