Feedback from our exhibitors

  • The joint trade fair booth gave our appearance the visibility we needed to conduct numerous and promising conversations with a wide range of potential customers. In addition, the logistics and catering were also well-organized and gave us a great week at Fakuma.

    Markus Kühn | Technical Sales, ACI Laser GmbH

  • Physical Contacte are the be-all and end-all of customer and supplier relationships. A trade fair appearance at the Thuringian joint stand is much more impactful; individual exhibitors would get lost at the fair. Under the motto 'Strong together in Thuringia', we hope for an expansion of the trade fair structure to strengthen the entire Thuringian economy.

    Giovanni Schiller | Sales Manager, Horst Bauerschmidt KG

  • Thuringian joint booths are always a great support for us as GBneuhaus in acquiring new customers and markets. In the environment of other innovative Thuringian companies and the perfect organization of the LEG, it also always feels a bit like home.
