Meeting & Event News

The trade fair pairing of Fensterbau Frontale and Holz-Handwerk proved popular once again this year, with great atmosphere, lively discussions and positive feedback from all sides. Over the past four days, a total of around 75,000 visitors from 112 countries gathered at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg to meet 973 exhibitors from 44 countries and discuss the latest trends in window, door and façade construction. Both trade fairs were accompanied by a comprehensive supporting program that offered valuable ideas on industry topics of current relevance. Immersion in new products and technologies, making valuable industry contacts, and coming to grips with current challenges such as sustainability, protection against climate extremes, serialized construction and refurbishment, and the shortage of skilled labor were among the popular topics covered.
