| With a total of 102,881 trade visitors and 1,276 exhibitors from 34 countries (2006: 1,184 exhibitors from 30 countries), the exhibition duo HOLZ-HANDWERK and fensterbau/frontale, proved again to be the central forum for the wood crafts and windows, doors and facades from 2-5 April 2008, in Nürnberg. Thursday and Friday with over 30,000 visitors each were the most heavily visited days of the exhibitions. Nine out of ten companies said they had made new business connections and just as many expect follow-up business; four out of ten exhibitors at fensterbau/frontale and as many as six out of ten at HOLZ-HANDWERK made direct sales during the exhibition. 88 per cent of the HOLZ-HANDWERK exhibitors and 96 per cent of the fensterbau/frontale exhibitors welcomed visitors from countries other than Germany. These came mainly from Austria, Italy, France and Switzerland for HOLZ-HANDWERK and for fensterbau/frontale from Austria, the Czech and Slovak Republics, Italy, Switzerland, the Russian Federation, Great Britain, Denmark, Spain, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Hungary and the Netherlands, but also from the USA and Canada, Argentina, China, India, Japan and the United Arab Emirates. Nine out of ten exhibitors rated the professional competence of the visitors as satisfactory to very good, and well over 90 per cent said they had reached their major target groups at the two exhibitions. |
