I encourage you to read this new issue of Drema Furnica News magazine. I hope it will bring a lot of interesting news about the opportunities we offer for pursuing even the most challenging marketing goals.

As organisers of DREMA and FURNICA, scheduled to take place in Poznań on 29 March – 1 April 2011, we are aware just how important an effective investment in a trade fair presence is for participants of this major fair event for the wood industry in Central and Eastern Europe. Therefore, we spare no effort every year to improve our offer in terms of quality, service standards, and its ability to accommodate your needs in the current market conditions. These conditions keep changing because of increasing competition, price pressure on products, and growing operational costs. Although these factors are negative by definition, they may have a positive impact as well, primarily on the development of marketing budgets where each and every investment has to be preceded by a detailed and rational analysis of clear-cut future benefits. It is no secret that such benefits can be achieved even in difficult times if we choose effective solutions to achieve them. One of our recommended solutions is to participate in prestigious trade shows whose main aim is to create demand for machines, tools, components and services with the help of leading manufacturers and suppliers representing all the key brands. To help exhibitors achieve this positive effect, we put a lot of emphasis on high quality of direct contacts and business talks that are supposed to translate into higher sales recorded by our clients.

I hope this magazine will offer you insight into our company and the next year’s organisational formula for our trade fairs.

I would like to wish you every success in both your professional and private life.

Best regards, Hanna Ochnik-Pawłowska DREMA and FURNICA Project Director

DREMA International Fair of Machines and Tools for the Wood and Furniture Industries FURNICA International Fair of Components for Furniture Production

DREMA and FURNICA: trade fairs of good business After the summer season, works on the upcoming editions of DREMA International Fair of Machines and Tools for the Wood and Furniture Industries and FURNICA International Fair of Components for Furniture Production have begun.

Recommended by EUMABOIS European Federation of Woodworking Machinery Manufacturers, DREMA and FURNICA, a high-profile event for different sectors of the wood and furniture industries in Central and Eastern Europe, will be attended by more than 800 companies from Poland and abroad. From 29 March to 1 April 2011, they will showcase their new products on a total of nearly 35,000 sq m of exhibition space in Poznań. Over 21,000 professionals being key decision-makers in small, medium and large companies will explore this diversified and interesting offer of the latest solutions. What will be the next year’s organisational formula of this top-notch event?

Your presence at DREMA and FURNICA, held concurrently, is an opportunity to meet in one place and time with key rep-

resentatives of the wood and furniture industries who are actively looking for sound solutions to facilitate corporate development. Trade fair visitors are interested in new technologies as well as components and services that ensure effective and quality production for small, medium and large enterprises from different sectors. The professional nature of trade fairs is recognised by their participants from more than 25 countries, and a high level of expertise is achieved owing to both the presence of leading manufacturers and suppliers operating on international markets and preselection of invited visitors.

FURNICA – we create trends In the same place and time we will have FURNICA, an excellent opportunity to promote and provide expert feedback on new functional and design concepts for components for furniture production, including those dedicated to the sector of upholstered furniture, in a specially arranged exhibition hall (read more on page 18-19).

A unique formula of this trade fair put forward by the organisers aims at creating the latest furniture trends, and involves a visitor registration system that guarantees top quality business talks. The exhibition space will also include an inspiring spot for those who are looking for something more than just personal contact with compe-

tent suppliers. For demanding visitors, the organisers are preparing a new edition of the Charm of Detail: a special conference and exhibition area with focus on details, patterns and innovative concepts of functionality as well as design of furniture collections.

Chance to pay less for participation Any trade fair presentation is a long-term investment that has to translate into a positive financial result of exhibitors in terms of achieving marketing goals that have been set. The offer of participation in DREMA and FURNICA includes special elements that create a chance to benefit from active participation also for enterprises that used to opt for other forms of promotion. Trade fair organisers offer ready-made modular stands with additional services included in the price. Owing to this solution, a potential exhibitor can create their brand and establish business contacts while keeping costs way down. An additional incentive for companies that decide to order exhibition space by a pre-defined deadline (DREMA – by 22 October, FURNICA – by 10 December) are preferential price terms that may reduce final costs of participation.

For many years now, trade fairs have been a recognised form of direct marketing and a communication platform, in this case on business to business level. Developed over the years together with participants, the organisational formula aims at reaching tangible and measurable business re-

sults. Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie, a leader of the trade fair and conference market in Poland and a significant player in Europe, is an active provider of solutions adjusted to current market needs. DREMA and FURNICA are clearly this type of success stimulators that cannot be left out from the catalogue of marketing tools of any modern company.

chinery Manufacturers, associating all top technology providers for this sector, proves DREMA is a high-profile event. Modern infrastructure of the Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie allows to showcase equipment, machinery and entire production lines in operation. As a result, a trade fair presentation gains a momentum in terms of effective reach to prospective investors by way of providing them as much information as possible needed to make a purchase decision. Apart from an interesting exhibitors’ offer, trade fair visitors participate in an industry-focused programme of events with special areas and conferences. Presentations of cutting-edge technologies, such as Live Furniture Factory, make a wonderful addition to the event and for exhibitors an opportunity to build their market position even more effectively.

Who are trade fair visitors?

The effectiveness of your participation in any trade fair can be among others evaluated by the quality of talks held at stands. A positive result in this regard can only be achieved if your visitors are involved in the industry and actively interested in business development.

A few months of preparations to the trade fair are consumed during only four days of meetings with potential and present customers. These 32 hours have to ensure the highest possible return on investment in the company’s presence at the trade fair. An essential factor that optimises the consumption of precious time is the quality of talks held at stands and their direct impact on the achievement of goals that have been set.

Poznań-based DREMA and FURNICA offer a high standard of contact quality both to exhibitors and professional visitors. The electronic visitor registration system and a short questionnaire that has to be completed upon arrival help the organisers collect detailed information about geolocation, represented sector, scope of business, level of decisionmaking and range of interests. Owing to this, we know that more than 26 per cent of visitors are involved in production, whereas 23 per cent are involved in production combined with services

and trade. Trade fairs are mainly visited by people representing different sectors of the furniture production industry, carpenters and retailers. Owners, directors and managers make up the largest group, namely 61 per cent, whereas 14 per cent are production technologists and designers. As much as 67.3 per cent of respondents are interested in visiting both DREMA and FURNICA, while 24.67 per cent is interested only in machines, with 8.06 per cent interested only in FURNICA. The trend of new trade fair visitors is also interesting: they make up about 27 per cent among all visitors.

Conclusions drawn from the results of surveys carried out among visitors have a bearing on the development of a longterm development strategy for DREMA and FURNICA. This strategy involves a close contact with professional visitors from different sectors of the woodworking and furniture industries using stateof-the-art IT and promotion tools.

FURNICA

Hall dedicated to components for upholstered furniture production At its upcoming edition, FURNICA International Fair of Components for Furniture Production will promote state-of-the-art solutions addressed to upholstered furniture manufacturers in a more transparent fashion.

The production of upholstered furniture in Poland is a prominent sector of the furniture industry. Owing to its openness to new developments and constant drive towards self-development, it successfully maintains a strong presence on the market. Recognising this openness to innovation, trade fair organisers have prepared even better conditions for meetings of this industry with its suppliers.

Prestigious layout FURNICA occupies four halls of Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie located near the

Western entrance, with a roofed walkway that represents modern architecture. The attractive interiors of Hall 8A with additional lighting of the entire space as a standard will help present fabrics and other components in an inviting manner. Readymade modular stands with carpeting and interesting design will allow exhibitors to save time needed to organise a trade fair presentation and focus instead on the preparation of their offer and models. Passageways covered with carpeting matching stand colours provide a home-like atmosphere in the hall. In addition, there will be a Rest&Meet point located in this

hall, offering trade fair visitors free refreshments along with hot and cold drinks.

Contacts with a quality mark Exhibitors of the Poznań-based trade fairs know that their presence at FURNICA means more than just an opportunity of a presentation before their customers in good light. Participants value this business meeting for quality business talks held at stands, which results from registration and careful pre-selection of visitors. Consequently, exhibitors can be sure that any person they meet is a prospective business partner who has a tangible goal to achieve when visiting their stand. Professional public actively looking for contacts to facilitate business development is a wonderful source of opinions about new models and information about the industry situation.

Jacek Obarski

Held since 2006 and unique on the Polish market, FURNICA has secured itself a commanding position in the calendar of professionals from the sector of furniture manufacturers looking for contacts with the best producers and suppliers of components.

Every year, this trade fair attracts nearly 170 exhibitors from Poland and abroad who showcase their latest products, and many of them actually have their premieres in Poznań. The professional public, comfortable conditions and presence of leading companies: these are the main assets that help exhibitors effectively reach their marketing goals with a high rate of return on investment in their trade fair presentation.

Live Furniture Factory has been held at DREMA since 2007, and has successfully provided valuable insight into technological nuances. Owing to this presentation attracting leading suppliers of machinery, tools, software and components, furniture makers visiting the trade fair have an opportunity to take a closer look at a fullyfledged live machinery line. Every year,

different type of furniture is produced in the Factory, so that the undertaking can boast both innovation and quality transfer of cutting-edge technologies to the furniture market. The latter is supervised by technology suppliers in collaboration with expert partners, including researchers and practitioners from the Department of Furniture Design of the Poznań University of Life Sciences. Owing to the university involvement, the project attracts students for whom participation in the project means work on concept development for produced furniture, choice of relevant technologies and production set-up. This kind of experience is priceless for future university graduates from the perspective of practical skills, very important for their future employers.

Special offer

Your own stand for as little as 890 € ?

If you do not have the time and resources to organise a large stand with an elaborate layout, it is a good idea to choose an economic offer of ready-made modular stands. If you register by 22 October, you may pay even less.

Taking part in any trade fair means you need to book exhibition space and finance stand construction, which gives you an opportunity of free stand arrangement, employing even the most sophisticated design possible. Instead of the aforementioned option, you can choose a special offer of modular stands. Trade fair organisers offer a couple of variants, with different size (6-20 m2) and location (row or corner stand), so that you can choose the most suitable option.

What do you need to do to order a stand?

All it takes is to contact your Customer Attendant, complete the received registration form and send it back together with a proof of payment of the registration fee including administrative costs, i.e. entry to the catalogue in printed and CD version, one invitation to

industry evening and a package of 40 free invitations for Customers. All you are left to do then is pack your samples and advertising materials and come to the trade fair to enjoy your new business contacts. And what about booking a flight and hotel? We do this, too!

STANDS’ FREE ARANGMENT

A turnkey stand with carpeting, storage room, power connection and lighting all included in the price creates a very pleasant background for presenting both printed and multimedia publicity materials and your company name. Standard stand furnishing includes anything that is needed for comfortable customer service: a reception desk, a table with chairs, and folder and leaflet stands. The price also includes a daily cleaning service: a convenient solution to take any cleaning concerns off your mind.

Advertisement at the trade fair

Substantive sales support When you decide to take part in a trade show, it is a good idea to consider additional support tools, namely effective advertising. The Promotion Service Department has a wide range of solutions in this respect.

O

rdering exhibition space and a selection of an appropriate booth that meets your expectations: these are the first steps to achieve positive results of your participation in a trade fair. The Promotion Service Department of Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie offers many additional tools for creating a positive image among the professional public.

Outdoor and indoor advertisement Large-format advertisement is clearly the most attractive and the most visible form of promotion and communication with the target group. We offer space on facades of halls, inside the halls and in entrance lobbies.

NEWS DREMA • FURNICA

Located in busy spots, they attract visitors’ attention and encourage them to visit the stand. The MTP offer includes over 60 locations, the largest reaching a maximum area of 360 sq m.

Advertising structures The company offers an unlimited range of solutions for any exhibitor in the form of advertising structures placed on MTP grounds.

The communication with visitors outside the stand is effected via interesting, eyecatching structures placed in relevant locations. You can use stands, roll-ups, boards, balloons, flags, cars and many other unusual structures according to your own discretion.

Distribution of materials During any trade fair, all exhibitors can have their promotional materials, folders and advertising gadgets distributed among trade fair visitors. Owing to mobile advertisement, your information can reach visitors before they reach your stand. This service can be used in a huge number of ways. Beginning from hostesses wearing conspicuous outfits through stilt-walkers, roller-bladers, rollerskaters and segway riders to mime artists for example. The choice depends on your inventiveness.

Exhibitors’ catalogue A trade fair catalogue is a wonderful place for presenting the trade fair offer of any exhibitor. Issued before every trade fair, it allows reaching a carefully selected target group interested in the industry the trade fair is dedicated to. A copy of the catalogue is received by every exhibitor as well as every visitor who buys it during the trade

fair. With this material a visitor finds his way around on the fairgrounds. It is a guide; it is the best concise source of information about the exhibition offer of a given trade fair. Every exhibitor can have an obligatory catalogue entry placed in the catalogue in the alphabetical list of exhibitors (an entry includes company name and address) along with the text of trade fair offer, company logo or address entry in the list of exhibitors according to product groups. You can have your advertisement or an insert advertisement published in the catalogue, and we can do advertisement design.

It should be mentioned that the trade fair catalogue is also published on the website of a given trade fair which has a great number of viewings, in particular in the period preceding the trade fair, when printed copies or CDs of the catalogue are not available.

Prior to the trade fair, in a special section there is a list of all exhibitors posted along with stand locations; then, when the trade fair begins, we post a catalogue supple-

mented with addresses and any contact details of companies.

Trade fair magazines and printed materials Poznań Fair Magazine is published by the Warsaw Branch of MTP. It has four issues per year and presents key information about the trade fairs in the upcoming quarter.

Poznań Fair Magazine is printed in three language versions: Polish, English and Russian. It is sent to chambers of commerce and industry, economic chambers, embassies and industry associations all over the world. Poznań Fair Magazine also has its special trade fair issues (e.g. DREMA FURNICA NEWS). It is then sent to visitor groups relevant for a given trade fair.

E-advertisement Exhibitors can also use advertising space in the form of banners, logotypes and links on the event’s website (www.drema.pl and www.furnica.pl). Trade fair websites receive tens of thousands of viewings annually. You can have your contact details, press information and photos posted on these websites, as well.

Ancillary personnel Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie offers exhibitors an opportunity to hire temporary personnel, i.e. hostesses with high command of foreign languages, hostesses/receptionists and stand supervision. The database

the exhibitors can choose from includes 700 persons, represented by young experienced staff.

Trade Fair Radio There is a Trade Fair Radio Studio operating on the fairgrounds. Any announcements broadcast by the studio are heard in the open trade fair area (outside exhibition halls) and in the Linden Avenue located in a complex of halls 7, 7A, 8 and 8A. The radio can broadcast commercial spots as well as advertisements. We also have available a service of spot recording in English, German and Russian.

Conjured from wood with passion For a few years now, the Inwestor Publishing House together with Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie has organised „Conjured from Wood” competition which does a great deal for promoting woodworking professions.

„Conjured from Wood” is a competition addressed to students of secondary schools with woodworking specialisation. Every year, competitors prove that virtually anything can be made from wood. The fact that the undertaking is held under the auspices of the Minister of Education proves it plays a great role in promoting woodworking faculties.

During the last edition of DREMA, an exhibition organised at the stand of the Inwestor Publishing House presented works sent by finalists; with every year, their inventiveness and performance quality are higher and higher. In the history of the competition we have had the following items made from wood: a motorcycle, a sewing machine, a wooden schoolbag and a few hundred other objects that defy stereotypical thinking, reveal creativity of young authors and allow them to show skills they have learnt at school in the field of material selection and production technology. The effort of contestants is recognized by sponsors of valuable prizes that went as usual to the best.

The winner of this year’s competition was

Paweł Gozdyra from the Basic Vocational School in Garbatka Letnisko for his headphone made with great precision. The school workshop of the winner was awarded with TI 115 NOVA tilting spindle shaper sponsored by SCM GROUP POLSKA. The first

runner up was Mateusz Bachanek from the Woodworking Secondary School in Garbatka Letnisko with his wooden bike, and the second runner up was Piotr Głąbiak from Wielkopolska Insurgents Complex of Schools No. 1 in Ostrzeszów with his accordion. The creativity of winners has been awarded with FESTOOL power tools and other gifts from TOOLTECHNIK SYSTEM POLSKA. Prep. by (Jac) DREMA • FURNICA NEWS

T

he competition organised by Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie attracted 18 teams on Omega sailing boats. From early on, the level of rivalry was very high and the competition for a podium position was fierce. On the first day there was sunny weather and good wind, and on Sunday the wind got slightly stronger, giving sailors a positive thrill of emotions and suntan.

Sailors spent their free time after the first day of Regatta with the ”Trzy Majtki” band from Tricity. The band played popular sea shanties; when this marvelous concert was over, they became an inspiration for participants to continue singing on their own.

As early as today we would like to invite you to join the next Regatta of Wood and Furniture Industry scheduled for 3-5 June 2011. The competition will be held in Mazury on Kisajno Lake. This time again we encourage visitors to find accommodation in „Łabędzi Ostrów” holiday centre. You can take part in the Regatta free of charge, provided that you are professionally involved in the wood or/and furniture industry.

Accommodation and travel costs are covered by participants. In order to take part in the competition, you need to send a clearly completed registration form to the organiser’s office by 15 May 2011 (inclusive).

This prestigious award is also valued by professionals, who often purchase the winning products appreciated by the Competition Jury. Manufacturers of products awarded with the MTP Gold Medal claim that their sales tend to increase by 10-30%.

Moreover, the winning solutions receive much media coverage, being showcased in magazines, professional publications and TV shows, which further supports their promotion.

MTP’s Acanthus Aureus awards are traditionally presented to exhibitors whose stands most successfully reflect corporate marketing strategy. Participation in the

New Hall 6A already put into operation The growth rate of MTP, Poland’s trade fair leader, entails smooth completion of subsequent large investment projects. On 4 September Hall 6A, extended to cover 3,600 sq m of modern exhibition area, was officially opened for exhibitors.

T

he extension started immediately after the end of the TAIZE European Youth Meeting (in early January 2010). The official ground-breaking ceremony took place during the opening of the International Construction Fair BUDMA 2010 on 19 January.

MTP is committed to providing comfort to its exhibitors, so the hall offers various amenities, including an option to showcase large-size exhibits: unlimited load bearing capacity of the floor, appropriate height, column-free construction and three enormously large entry gates. Exhibitors can use this innovative exposition area already during the September shows.

This modern exhibition hall is created at the location of a former Soviet pavilion. It is the

fifth largest exhibition complex in Poland (the top four facilities are also located on the MTP grounds). Thus, a complex of halls with the total exhibition area of 11,000 sq m will be created. In the future, the facility will be connected via special passages with MTP’s largest exhibition hall, i.e. Hall 5. Its exhibition area amounts to 14,500 sq m. As a result of connecting the expanded Hall 6A with Hall 5, an exhibition area amounting to 24,500 sq m will be created.

In coming years, MTP is also planning to expand and refurbish the Trade Fair Centre and the Congress Centre. The works will include construction of a conference room for 2500 participants between Halls 8A and 14B and modernisation of Levels A and B in Hall 15.

Total measurements of Hall 6A: • Length: 81.55 m • Width: 44.50 m • Height: 11 m Facts and figures: • increase in MTP’s usable area: 4,400 sq m • increase in MTP’s exhibition area: 3,600 sq m • total usable area in Halls 6 and 6A: 15,000 sq m including 10,000 sq m of exhibition area • project duration: 7 months (January – August 2010) Comfort for exhibitors: • column-free construction • load bearing capacity of the floor: unlimited!

• three entry gates for large-size exhibits, including one measuring 6.20 m x 6 m!

• an option to divide the hall into two autonomous parts separated by a gate • the most advanced fire protection system • unlimited possibilities for connecting stands to various utilities, including compressed air (which is important for comprehensive presentation of some machinery at work).

Investment

On a Strong Course for Lublin

Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie has taken over 30.5% of shares in MTL, thus becoming a new major shareholder of that Lublin-based fair company.

On 28 July shareholders of Międzynarodowe Targi Lubelskie SA at the Extraordinary General Meeting resolved to carry out an additional issue of shares.

As a result of this decision, shares of PLN 14m were sold to Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie which has become MTL’s new shareholder. Other entities to take the new shares include MTL’s current shareholders: the Lublin Province Government, which purchased PLN 2m in new shares, and the

Lublin Municipality, which acquired PLN 16.8m in shares in exchange for a non-cash contribution of a 6-hectare property.

The current shareholding structure of MTL is as follows: the Lublin Province Government holds 26.5% of shares, the Lublin Municipality holds 42.5 % of shares, Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie holds 30.5% of shares, with the remaining shareholders holding 0.5% of MTL shares.

The decision to expand the shareholding base was made in order to enable MTL’s further development by using the funds from Operational Programme ‘Development of Eastern Poland for 2007-2013’, co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The money will be spent on infrastructure development to help develop and strengthen MTL’s position as a trade fair organiser.

Jubilee Edition of BUDMA For the twentieth time already industry experts will meet in Poznań next January to participate in the biggest construction fair in our part of Europe.

The interest generated by the jubilee edition of Budma International Construction Fair (1114.01.2011) is immense. The exhibitors will comprise both key market leaders and numerous companies that have not yet showcased their offers at Budma.

fair events will mainly focus on one of the key elements of sustainable construction, namely energy-efficiency. Much attention will be paid to modern thermal insulation materials and technologies. Compared with this year’s edition, the subject of energy-efficiency will be discussed in even more detail Sustainable Construction during the special exhibition entitled Passive – Investment in the Future Construction.

its increasing specialisation, the decision was taken by Międzynarodowe Targi Poznańskie to make a distinction between various subject themes and hence organise several independent events. In 2000, the first installation show (Instalacje) and the first exhibition of construction equipment (Bumasz) were organised. In 2008, interior finishing exhibition emerged along with a show addressed to the glass and stone processing sectors (Glass & Stone), while a year later the aforementioned WinDoor-tech Fair of Machines and Components for Window, Door, Gate and Facade Production made its successful debut. If all those industries still showcased their offers at a single trade show, the event would now total 3000 companies on an exhibition area of no less than 100.000 sq m.

At present, Budma International Construction Fair ranks among the leading business meetings of the construction sector in our part of Europe. In 2010, the Poznań-based building show attracted 60 000 Polish and foreign visitors who had a chance to explore the offers from more than 1300 domestic and international companies on an exhibition area of 60 000 sq m. Most fair guests were people responsible for making key investment decisions, representatives of retail chains and contracting companies.

Wood in construction Wood – the traditional eco-friendly construction material – is enjoying a renaissance. The considerable interest in its use in modern construction – especially among private investors – is reflected in the exposition and special events of Budma 2011.

During the January trade show, exhibitors will showcase a wide selection of door and window joinery solutions, including the ever-more popular passive windows. The Village of Wooden Houses – a unique exhibition on a European scale – will present cuttingedge solutions applied in wood construction. Model wooden houses employing diverse technologies will await visitors in the outdoor fair grounds. Fair guests

will have a chance to discover their impressive qualities and experience the extraordinary soothing atmosphere of their interiors. What is important, buildings made of wood are fully biodegradable, and thus truly eco-friendly.

The Polish Parquet Industry Association and the Polish Economic Chamber of Wood Industry will co-organise a conference entitled ”Modern wooden floors – mar-

ket, technologies, execution” and special workshops for parquet layers. A seminar on wood construction solutions is also expected at Budma, focusing mainly on the thermal performance of wooden houses. A series of presentations entitled ”Modern Carpenter’s Workshop” and Roofers’ Skills Shows will provide an opportunity to see the latest solutions in the field of roofing tools and technologies.

Especially for manufacturers of doors, windows and profiles From 11 to 14 January 2011 Poznań will host the longawaited WinDoor-tech Fair of Machines and Components for Window, Door, Gate and Facade Production, which is the only Polish forum for the exchange of professional knowledge between the producers of door and window joinery and their suppliers.

Manufacturers and distributors of machines and components for this sector can showcase the latest, ever-more popular efficient energy-saving technologies – all in one place at one time, during the fair dedicated to the industry. The producers are doing their utmost to meet demanding technological standards, at the same time paying close attention to high quality of machines and components placed on offer.

WinDoor-tech is held simultaneously with Budma, which creates a compelling busi-

ness synergy. On the one hand, representatives of the window, door and gate sector – exhibitors at Budma – meet customers for their finished products. On the other hand, being visitors to WinDoor-tech, they can look into the broad portfolio of suppliers of manufacturing technologies and components.

The 2009 debut of WinDoor-tech Fair of Machines and Components for Window, Door, Gate and Facade Production received very positive feedback from exhibitors and

visitors exploring the offers. The clearly distinguished exhibition area (ca. 6500 sq m), comprising 130 exhibitors from 29 countries, provided a comprehensive overview of the latest and most efficient technologies applied in door and window joinery production. The portfolios of manufacturers and distributors of machines and components for this sector highlight solutions developed with a view to optimise production and increase the quality of finished products.

EKO-LAS

One-of-a-kind presentations in the bosom of nature On 9 – 11 September, the 12th edition of EKO-LAS trade fair was held in Mostki, 120 km west of Poznań, being a unique large event for the forestry industry in Poland.

For many years now, EKO-LAS has been an opportunity to present current trends, technologies and new products in the most important sectors of the woodworking market and forest management. On large presentation areas, exhibitors showcased forest machinery in operation. At the same time, trade fair areas featured information stands located in wonderful conditions, given the fact that is an open air event.

This year, more than 100 exhibitors came to Świebodzin forest division from Poland, Czech Republic, Finland, Canada, Germany, Italy and Sweden, representing the following sectors: silviculture and arboriculture, tools, machines and devices for logging, skidding and wood transport, forest protection means and products, vehicles and means of communication, fire protection in forests, protective clothing and uniform sorts, IT systems, measuring instruments, hunting, tools,

machines and equipment for the timber industry and sawmills, wood products and timber as a raw material.

The goal behind EKO-LAS was to help visitors contact manufacturers and sellers of forest machinery from Polish and foreign manufacturers directly and to present different aspects of a forest life, such as planting, maintenance, logging, transport and hunting, in a comprehensive fashion. However, apart from individual meetings with exhibitors, EKO-LAS also means a rich programme of side events. At exhibitors’ stands there were presentations of how harvesters and forwarders work, forest trailers and cranes, log splitters and saws as well as timber loading and reloading and logging.

Presentations at stands were supplemented with many panel discussions, e.g. the Forest Forum with its slogan „Man – Forest – Wood”.

The meeting addressed a lot of interesting issues, including forms of different forestry works from the perspective of different groups, new techniques and technologies in forestry works as well as forestry in the context of spatial planning. On the first day of the Forum, „Forest Quality Mark” certificates were awarded. This mark promotes products offered on the forestry market. It is awarded to products, services and processes useful for forest management and boasting high performance quality attested by users.

EKO-LAS is held every two years. The upcoming three editions will be held in the Lubuskie Province. Both the idea and location of this event has been endorsed by the Minister of Environment, Director General of State Forests, Lubuskie Province Governor and the Province Marshall, and the event will be held under their auspices.

About new trade fair formula The first edition of MEBLE trade fair in a new formula is already behind us.

It is true, 2010 was a breakthrough year. The Poznań-based furniture trade fair changed both its time frame and formula. The furniture trade fair used to be held in May before. In 2010, upon consultation with exhibitors, we decided to go for February.

A beginning of the year is a good time for presenting and promoting new models.

It helps one to prepare well for the second half of the year, when furniture sales reach a year-high, as it has been the case for many years now. A new thing about the previous edition was a formula shift to B2B. As a result, there were no accidental visitors at the trade fair. You could fully focus on business contracting.

What are the results of these changes?

Positive feedback from exhibitors. What more can you want? (laughs) So it will be continued.

Yes, the upcoming edition will further develop the concept that was initiated in 2010.

We have received positive feedback about the different date and formula of the show, both from exhibitors and visitors. They all emphasise the need to create a large furniture event that will help the industry to grow and will promote it, also abroad.

Do you think Poznań is the best place for such event?

It is not just the long tradition of furniture trade fairs that speaks in favour of the Poznań-based event; it is also the experience

Do dyspozycji wystawców zostanie oddana najnowoczesniejsza przestrzeń wystawiennicza w Polsce, w tym noworozbudowany pawilon 6A and international contacts of MTP. What is more, Poznań has good connections to all parts of Europe and the most modern exhibition facilities in Poland. You will not find a better place in Poland.

How are you trying to make foreign players interested?

We solicit furniture buyers in Europe on a large scale. For them, we have prepared a professional matchmaking programme and a special offer of a visit at the Poznań-based trade fair. Foreign countries are interested in Polish furniture; Poland is the third largest furniture exporter in Europe and the fourth largest in the world. Therefore, the Polish furniture industry needs a large professional event that promotes the achievements of national manufacturers.

An important question: how much will it cost?

We are going to keep discount prices next year. The exhibitors may check how competitive the offer of the Poznań-based fair is by ordering registration forms at www. meble.mtp.pl. Poznań is friendly to furniture manufacturers. Both as regards professional organisation and pricing.

What do exhibitors say? „The new trade fair formula suits us very well: starting from moving the trade fair date to the beginning of the year through high service culture to the quality of business talks at stands.”

Wojciech Gieburowski, CEO of Kolekcja Mebli Klose „I think that rescheduling the show has proved to be a good solution: a beginning of a year is a good time for promoting the latest designs and collections, and makes it easier to place orders.”

Andrzej Bińkowski, Owner of Melin company „I would like to express my recognition of very good organisation of MEBLE POLSKA 2010, very professional in our opinion.”

David Lhomme, Board President of POLDEM Sp. z o.o.. „I must admit that the Poznań fair has made the grade.”
