Statements GaLaBau 2018
Hanns Markus Renz, Business Manager Sales & Field Marketing Department, Kobelco Construction Machinery Europe B.V.
“At GaLaBau there is always a really nice cohort of visitors with whom you can have very good, personal exchanges. This year, visitor traffic was very strong over all four days of the event. We also noticed that a lot of decision-makers were in attendance this year, as we were able to sign a lot of direct contracts at the fair itself. GaLaBau will always be our most important platform for meeting the landscaping and gardening community personally.”
Torsten Reuß, Managing Director, TOSSTEC KG
“I have just one thing to say about GaLaBau 2018: it was an absolute cracker! We were having one conversation after another from beginning to end. The demand for our products was huge. Thanks to the funding for young innovative companies from the Federal Ministry, we benefitted from having a great position in the pavilion. A top-class service! And we were even happier when we received the innovation medal as well. We will definitely be back with our own stand in 2020.”
Ulrich Träger, Managing Director, Nusser Stadtmöbel GmbH & Co. KG
“As one of Germany's biggest manufacturers of street furniture we consider GaLaBau to be our most important trade fair for nurturing contacts and raising our profile. This is where we meet many of our regular clients and business partners but where we also make a lot of important new contacts. We are very happy with how the event has gone, and it was definitely worthwhile for us to take part. We have already made a firm note of the dates for 2020.”
Christina Seufert, Geschäftsleitung, Greenkeeper Verband Deutschland e.V.
„Nach anfänglicher Skepsis sind wir sehr zufrieden mit unserer Messeteilnahme an der GaLaBau 2018. Erstmals waren wir in der Halle 3A platziert und hatten hier viele interessante Gespräche auf unserem Stand. Wir konnten dabei ein gesteigertes Interesse am Berufsbild des Greenkeepers feststellen, was uns natürlich besonders gefreut hat. Alles in allem lautet unser Resümee: Wir sind positiv überrascht und 2020 selbstverständlich wieder vor Ort.“
Frank Wollmann, Managing Director, KANN GmbH Baustoffwerke
“What a successful fair. As always at GaLaBau, our stand was consistently well frequented. We were also impressed once again by the type of visitor and calibre of the discussions. We met a lot of decision-makers and are expecting very good follow-on business – simply fantastic!”
Stefan Heinrich Lorberg, Managing Director, Stefan Lorberg Baumschulerzeugnisse GmbH
“This year we are not only celebrating our 175th anniversary but can also look back with satisfaction at GaLaBau 2018. Once again, we were able to meet our main target group of gardeners and landscapers. New and established contacts ensured lots of lively discussions at our stand on all four days of the event. And we will definitely be back in 2020.”
