Christian Pfeiffer: We are now the organizers for the fourth year and we have introduced many new things. We started with the complete new structure so we built up new clusters especially in the machinery section- we have a great section of machinery ranging from Biesse to SCM, Stiles, Felder and Holzher-Weinig is also a part of it. That’s the one part of the Hall. And there is the second part of the Hall, where we have all the furniture accessories from the distributors of Blum to Hettich and all the large brands can be experienced. That’s very important and beautiful because we have the one stop shop- that’s really making it very enjoyable and effective for the visitors. And on top of that, we have more than twenty slots with discussions and panels. We gave ourselves three topics this year- new technology and machineries, design and sustainability. What’s the most important is that, we created very good cooperation with new associations like CANAINMA, AFAMJAL- they are also holding a regional show in Guadalajara, which will show more machinery part and of course CONAFOR the forestry association. So we broadened our spectrum of potential visitors, and we have very clear structure which is now very easy to access live running machines on the one hand, tools and the German pavilions which will increase again this year. We also have the design oriented materials, accessories and segments on the other hand. It was our goal to be the largest and most important show in the Latin America and with this edition we have reached that! |
