Support for Practical World from DIY retailers

Well-known senior figures from the German DIY retail scene are appealing to their colleagues in both the head offices and the stores to attend Practical World in Cologne next spring.
According to a press release from Koelnmesse, by this means Globus, Hela, Marktkauf, Baywa, I&M and Zeus, among others, want to end the discussion about the non-attendance of those responsible in the DIY superstores at the International Hardware Fair/Practical World that DIY manufacturers claimed was on the cards. Also planned is an exclusive "Infotainment event" for store managers and sales staff in 2006.
