Over 41 500 trade visitors from 87 countries attended the FARBE 2016 (FAF FARBE, AUSBAU & FASSADE) in Munich at the beginning of March 2016.
First Time for Big Wipes at Farbe
Farbe is developing more and more into a leading European fair. The evidence for this was the positive increase in the proportion of visitors from Germany and abroad, as well as the countries in which the industries are active.
It was the first time that Big Wipes exhibited at the show and the success was overwhelming. European painters and decorators finally discovered what their British counterparts have known for years. Big Wipes are incomparable in their ability to remove paint, whether it be oil, water or hammer finish. Preservative-free Big Wipes cleaning wipes contain four powerful cleaning agents and four skin conditioners. This means that they not only eliminate grime, but they also moisturise and nourish the skin at the same time.
Farbe 2016 Slogan
This year’s campaign slogan for the German trade fair was “The Future is our Building Site”. In other words, painters, decorators and plasterers at FARBE 2016 discovered the tools, from new technology to specialist information, to master the future challenges of their specialist trades.
The trade fair showed the trends and challenges the industry will be dealing with. We believe that this will also include the increasing need for a truly industrial-strength multi-purpose cleaning wipe. Big Wipes are designed for use by professional tradespeople who need an extremely effective and immediate on-hand cleaning product. Not only do Big Wipes clean in record time, they are also kind to the skin.
Comments on FAF Farbe, Ausbau & Fassade 2016
“The FAF FARBE, AUSBAU & FASSADE gives the industry an enormous motivational boost – from young talent to the masters. The buzz could be felt throughout all four days. This trade fair is and will remain the most important industry meeting to occur every three years. The product range displayed is truly one-of-a-kind in Europe.” Dieter Dohr, Chairman of the GHM Gesellschaft fuer Handwerksmessen mbH.
Juergen G. Hilger, President of the UEEP, added: “It was a perfect place for visiting tradespeople. They could find out information, compare thoughts and obtain advice. Such a market overview is unique in Europe. Here, all specialist business people and experts experienced how our profession is transforming and how it is developing. Previously, all that was needed was the watchful eye of a master. However, now a whole host of instruments is required because of legal regulations and the increasing requirements of customers.”
“The FAF is so important as it presents the information and the new products and technologies. Ultimately, this data provides our tradespeople a secure foundation on which to practice and represent this exciting profession,” Hilger concluded.
