REHAU and imos AG cancels participation in Holz-Handwerk 2020

 Friday, April 3, 2020

Industry giants REHAU and imos AG puts health and human safety first and decided to call off their participation in the upcoming Holz-Handwerk show from June 16, at Nuremberg. The event which was originally postponed due to the sudden outbreak of novel coronavirus or COVID-19, will now happen in the month of June. The organisers on the other hand are eagerly waiting for the event, however in the wake of the troubled times, some companies have decided to step out of the show and support safety and human health first.

 

Due to the current situation imos AG has decided not to participate at the new date of Holz-Handwerk in June 2020. REHAU also cancelled participation in the replacement date of the Frontale 2020 Focus on people’s health. Safety first, “For us, the health and safety of employees, customers and partners is our top priority,” explains Carsten Heuer, Division Manager Window Solutions and member of the REHAU management board.

 

“Taking into account the official assessment of the current situation regarding the corona virus and the as yet unforeseeable further development, we are cancelling our participation in Fensterbau Frontale 2020. By cancelling, we are taking a far-reaching precautionary measure for the protection and well-being of people. The most important task at the moment is to minimise the risk of further spread and we are following this consequently”. Of course, the cancellation is not easy for REHAU. “We regret this step, as the Frontale has been a very important event for us for decades for the personal presentation of our innovations and new products to our customers, partners and visitors. However, in the current situation, we see no alternative to the cancellation, since REHAU’s focus is on the health and safety of people,” emphasizes Carsten Heuer.
