展会报告(Show Reports):
After four exciting days under the new management of Messe Stuttgart and the German Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW) (Association of German Machine Tool Manufacturers), NORTEC closed its doors today after achieving remarkable results. Between 23 and 26 January 2024, NORTEC welcomed 4,800 trade visitors to Hall A1 at Messe Hamburg. Lars Reeder, Managing Director of Hein & Oetting Feinwerktechnik GmbH in Ahrensburg, Germany and Chairman of the NORTEC Advisory Board, expressed his joy: "NORTEC is alive – there is a good atmosphere, many sense a positive spirit, and I am very confident that it has the best conditions to establish a firm position in the new trade fair landscape." Dr. Markus Heering, Managing Director of VDW, commented: "We are delighted that we managed to increase the number of visitors compared with the last event. We therefore attained our first objective and laid a good foundation for the new start of the trade fair in 2026,"
Trade visitors satisfied
The visitors were satisfied with the products and services presented by the around 200 exhibitors at NORTEC. More than 86 per cent rated the trade fair in the visitor survey as "Good" to "Very good". This was reflected in the exhibitors' perception. Jens Martin, Technical Consultant in the Clamping Technology Division of the company Schunk Spann- und Greiftechnik in Lauffen am Neckar, commented: "Our brand presentation went down very well, our stand was very busy and we received a great deal of feedback."
59 per cent of trade visitors attended NORTEC for the first time. Three quarters of them said that they would definitely come back again while 87 per cent said that they would recommend the trade fair to other people. More than a quarter of visitors also expected the Trade Fair for Manufacturers to become more important in future. This was also emphasised by Josef Frauscher, Area Sales Manager Germany, Austria and Switzerland at the company Kraiburg Austria GmbH & Co. KG in Geretsberg: "NORTEC is important for us because there is no other trade fair for technically sophisticated products in north Germany."
NORTEC underlines its position as a trade fair in north Germany
NORTEC consolidated its potential for new customer business in north Germany. The vast majority came from a radius of 100 kilometres. "As a first-time exhibitor, we were very pleased," said Lisa Arndt, Sales Manager at the company Powerhouse Solutions GmbH from Plettenberg. "We held fruitful talks and had fantastic discussions with potential customers and multipliers." She also saw business potential: "We are firmly convinced that we will enjoy good sales after the event. And that is due to the contacts we forged here." Oliver Loth, Sales Manager at Citizen Europe GmbH in Esslingen, Germany, added: "As manufacturers of long and short turning machines, we seized the opportunity to once again showcase our presence at NORTEC after a prolonged hiatus. We've had very fruitful discussions, including with new customers." The fact that 78 percent of attendees, according to their own statements, play a decisive, co-decisive, or advisory role in purchasing and procurement decisions within their companies, reinforces expectations for business in the aftermath.
"As a trade fair organiser, we are first and foremost a supplier of services to our customers. We therefore used NORTEC to talk to every exhibitor and ask them about their wishes and ideas for the future of the trade fair. We will intensively analyse the answers in the next few weeks and use them as a basis for deriving and implementing the future concept of the trade fair," concluded Roland Bleinroth, President and CEO of Messe Stuttgart.
