Review of the trade fair year with a brief teaser for BrauBeviale 2024

13.08.2024

We are already more than halfway through the year, during which we were able to gather many impressions and meet new people. Trade fairs are a particular highlight for us every year.

They offer a unique platform for discovering innovations, exchanging ideas with industry experts and gaining valuable insights into the latest trends. For us, every trade fair is an opportunity to share our passion for what we do and at the same time benefit from the diverse perspectives and experiences of other participants.

Away from the trade fairs, we had another highlight in April. The Baumer Group visited us at our premises in Neustadt an der Weinstraße to hold an in-house exhibition. The exhibition was extremely well received by our employees and was a complete success!

As great as the trade fair year has been so far, it is not over for us yet. We are looking forward to being represented at BrauBeviale in Nuremberg from November 26-28. We are looking forward to exciting discussions and new insights.

With a little distance, we look back on the Achema 2024 in Frankfurt with a great feeling.

During the five days, we were able to meet new people and welcome familiar companions to our booth. For us, personal interaction is what trade fairs like Achema are all about. Direct dialogue and contact with customers or interested parties on various topics relating to plant engineering is still very important to us.

Many thanks also to our booth partner Roth for the smooth organisation and mutual support.

Finally, we would like to thank our fantastic team, who filled the booth with life, enthusiasm and good humour for the entire five days. Many thanks to all of you.
