The International Hardware Fair retains its visitor numbers

Approximately 44 000 trade visitors from 124 countries attended this year's International Hardware Fair (Eisenwarenmesse) in Cologne, that adds up to the same amount as two years ago. "We're delighted about the excellent result of the Hardware Show. The DIY Boulevard was an absolute highlight. The stands were well-attended", as Katharina C. Hamma, Chief Operating Officer of Koelnmesse, summed up.
Around 2 670 exhibitors from 55 countries presented themselves to the international trade visitors at the newly shortened three day fair. At 86 per cent, the share of foreign exhibitors remained at a constant high level.
