The current DIY International, which is out now, is the 150th issue of this specialist magazine. To celebrate the occasion it contains among other things a special section ranking the 150 major DIY retailers throughout the world and also offers suppliers the chance to introduce themselves to our international readership – in 150 words. Moreover, Dähne Verlag is giving away 150 annual subscriptions as well (see separate report). Naturally the current issue again puts a special focus on one particular country. This time the editorial team has chosen Italy, in view of the 2nd Global DIY Summit due to be held in Rome. Other reports concentrate on subjects that include the latest developments in Russia and the market in America.
