Feedback from our exhibitors

  • The joint exhibition stand gave our presentation the visibility we needed to have numerous and promising conversations with a wide range of potential customers. In addition, the logistics and supplies were excellent, making for a fantastic week at Fakuma.

    Markus Kühn | Technical Sales, ACI Laser GmbH

  • Physical Contact is essential for customer and supplier relationships. A trade fair appearance at the Thuringian joint stand is significantly more impactful; individual exhibitors would be lost in the shuffle. Under the motto "Stronger Together in Thuringia," we hope to expand the trade fair structure to strengthen the entire Thuringian economy.

    Giovanni Schiller | Sales Manager, Horst Bauerschmidt KG

  • For us at GBneuhaus, the joint stands in Thuringia are always a great help in acquiring new customers and markets. Surrounded by other innovative Thuringian companies and with the perfect organization of LEG, it always feels a bit like home.
