8th BLECHEXPO – Kick-Off at New Location
BLECHEXPO, international trade fair for sheet metal processing and joining technology, will lead the way in relocating an entire series of industrial trade fairs to the new Stuttgart Exhibition Centre from the 13th through the 16th of June, 2007.
Frickenhausen, 3 March 2006 – Many industry insiders consider trade fair promoter Paul E. Schall’s announcement that his company’s entire spectrum of trade fairs will be moved from Sinsheim to Stuttgart spectacular and absolutely forward-looking. Relocation of the first trade fair, namely BLECHEXPO, will initiate resolute implementation of this ambition. And thus the 8th BLECHEXPO will take place at the new Stuttgart Exhibition Centre, which is currently evolving into Europe’s most up-to-date trade fair venue. Construction and fitting-out of the facilities, as well as ideal connections to all important means of transportation, will be completed before the event opens, so that exhibitors and expert visitors will be able to access the new complex without any trouble.
The moving date is set!
Not only are domestic and foreign exhibitors and expert visitors looking forward to the new exhibition centre, but rather above all trade fair promoters P.E. Schall GmbH and project manager Monika Frank. Based upon current figures, the 8th BLECHEXPO will presumably occupy more than 538,000 square feet of overall exhibition floor space for a new record breaking level. And not without good reason, because impartial exhibitor and visitor surveys have confirmed very good results. And BLECHEXPO is ideally positioned with regard to subject matter, as well as its location in the south-western heart of European industry. P.E. Schall GmbH expects an even larger influx of expert visitors as a result of the move to Stuttgart in the spring of 2007.
Where Supply Meets Demand ...
Supply meets demand at BLECHEXPO without any detours, making it possible to gather information and conduct business in a direct fashion. The exhibitors who participate at the event are focused primarily on the industries from which the visitors originate. Roughly 42.07% of all expert visitors come from the metalworking sector, 32.53% from machinery, equipment and device manufacturing, and 12.5% from the automobile and vehicle manufactures and their suppliers. As a result, there’s a perfect balance between the offerings and the market, i.e. between supply and demand. And thus it’s no wonder that a total of 55% of all exhibitors classify the trade fair as a very important or important part of their marketing mix, and once again want to participate in the success of the 8th BLECHEXPO.
Internationalism is on the rise.
The fact that the number of participating foreign exhibitors and expert visitors, as well as decision makers, has increased every year, and that 22 countries were represented at the last event, is noteworthy. These figures will more than likely once again be significantly increased as a result of the move from Sinsheim to Stuttgart. And this will demonstrate, on the one hand, the great importance of BLECHEXPO as an internationally recognised information, communication, sales and procurement platform and, on the other hand, the enormous drawing power of the highly concentrated market at the heart of Europe.
