Farbe 2019 – Big Wipes add colour to the show

As FARBE 2019 reports:  there was beaming sunshine in Cologne, beaming faces in the halls and at FAF FARBE, AUSBAU & FASSADE, the barometer showed the perfect atmosphere.

The beaming smiles naturally grew wider, as soon as visitors saw the Big Wipes stand.  As per usual, visitors were amazed at the astonishing cleaning power of the Big Wipes range, i.e. the Heavy-Duty wipes, Multi-Surface wipes and Multi-Purpose wipes.  Our stand was swamped and the show’s official film crew was sent in to capture the magic of Big Wipes on screen.

More than 46,000 attendees from 110 countries gave the trade fair top marks.  The range of products on display from the 402 exhibitors and the diverse programme of talks from the trade on topics like digitisation, recruiting young talent, and technology trends, led to top ratings from 91 percent of trade visitors.

Why go to Farbe 2019?

  • As the engine that drives the industry, FARBE 2019 brought together exhibitors and contractors from all over Europe.  According to surveys, three goals were important in their decision to attend: information about what’s new in the industry
  • continuing education
  • exchanging information with colleagues

According to the survey, 89 percent of attendees were able to achieve the goals with which they came to FAF 2019.  The pleasant atmosphere in the corridors was also reflected in the general appraisal of economic growth in the industry. 67 percent of the attendees surveyed expect anywhere from slight to significant growth.

Show Highlights

Apart from Big Wipes, the highlight at FAF this year included the range of information on digitisation.  Attendees experienced live what digital tools make possible – and how the industry can benefit from this.  Examples included optimising processes and consulting with customers via VR glasses while completing projects, to attracting new employees using social media.  FAF also gave visitors a glimpse into the future with the “renderingCODES” WorkLab.
