展会报告(Show Reports):
From 23 to 26 April, Halls 7 and 8 of the Cologne-Deutz exhibition centre became a hotspot for painters, plasterers and all trades involved in creative interior design – four days of FAF FARBE, AUSBAU & FASSADE, characterised by the joy of reunion and positive emotions.
34,000 visitors followed the call of 305 exhibitors from 24 countries to the industry festival to see, test and order their manifold innovations. The exhibitors' sales successes and the communication of new trends, new products and services as well as inspirations by new formats through the trade fair's supporting programme also contributed to the enthusiasm.
‘Simply outstanding’, ‘Cool trade fair, cool people, cool atmosphere’, ‘Super successful trade fair’, ‘It was great fun’ – visitor comments like these reflected the great atmosphere that could be physically felt in the halls on all four days of the trade fair. This was also the result of the close cooperation over the past year between the FAF trade fair team from the organising GHM, Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen mbH, the two associations sponsoring the trade fair, the Bundesverband Farbe Gestaltung Bautenschutz (Federal Association of Paint, Design, Building Protection) and the Bundesverband Ausbau und Fassade (Federal Association for Finishings & Façades), as well as industry representatives. This is confirmed by statements from trade fair participants and also by figures such as the number of visitors: 34,000 people from the industry, 56 per cent of whom were decision-makers. Particularly pleasing: the many young people at the trade fair – something that exhibitors and associations repeatedly emphasised. One reason for this may have been the many posts, reels and stories from the numerous influencers and content creators, which gave FAF reach among this target group, particularly in social media.
The visitors originating from 18 countries were attracted by the broad range of exhibitors at FAF. They rated FAF accordingly highly: 87 per cent of visitors would recommend the trade fair to others, the same percentage of visitors was satisfied with their trade fair experience and almost sixty per cent of visitors have already placed orders during or are planning to place orders after the trade fair.
The 305 exhibitors from 24 countries represented the entire supply chain of the industry: from paints and varnishes, acoustic building materials, coatings, wallpapers, home textiles and floor coverings to interior insulation and dry construction materials – to name just a few. FAF also received high marks from exhibitors: 93 per cent were satisfied with the professional qualifications and expertise of the visitors to their stand, while 86 per cent of exhibitors thought that their participation in FAF 2024 was successful overall.
Anticipation for the next FAF is great: FAF 2026 will take place from 24 to 27 March at the exhibition centre in Cologne.
