Batimat 2017 in Paris – voila the Big Wipes team

Held every two years, Batimat, the international show for the construction industry, was as popular as ever in 2017.  This multi-specialist exhibition focuses mainly on the building and architecture industry and professions.  To this end, the Big Wipes team decamped to Paris in November to join the list of 1778 illustrious exhibitors.

Mondial du Bâtiment 2017: Three in one shows

Batimat, Interclima+Elec and Ideobain exhibitions all took place under one roof under the Mondial du Bâtiment umbrella.  Consequently, this combination represents a unique opportunity for visitors to discover the innovations in the building, finishing & fittings and the bathroom industries.  All of this in one place!  Additionally, punters met with their current and potential suppliers, and learnt about technological and regulatory changes in the market. Most importantly, visitors took part in the demonstrations of products and heard about the latest techniques to facilitate their jobs.

Crowded Stand

Furthermore, Batimat introduced many valuable new features this year.  These included, for example, theme trails, guided tours, forums, demo workshops and business platform.  Said features ensured more targeted meetings between exhibitors and trade visitors, looking for solutions geared to their specific needs.

We thank all the visitors who took the time and effort to come to our stand.  We are looking forward to seeing you again in 2019, Paris.
