New hall at R+T 2018

For over 50 years, companies have been presenting their innovations and demonstrating their solutions for the central themes in the sector at R+T – the world´s leading trade fair for roller shutters, doors/gates and sun protection systems. During the trade fair or at one of the numerous evening events: R+T provides the opportunity for exchanging ideas and opinions with colleagues and is the ideal platform for intensive specialist discussions. Several specialist forums and network events ensure that contacts are made and give participants new impetus for their daily work. As a leading world trade fair, R+T is at the same time a meeting point for the sector, a trend barometer and an innovation platform.» New hall, new opportunitiesR+T is already well-positioned for R+T 2018: over 650 exhibitors have registered and 80 per cent of the exhibition space is occupied. Paul Horn Hall, the new Hall 10, will also be ready on time. It will therefore form an ideal basis to develop the trade fair further together with the industry.In general, the extended West Entrance will ensure that visitors are more evenly distributed - from 2020 onwards then actually with a direct connection to the urban rail network. The door and gate industry will obtain their own entrance with Alfred Kärcher Hall (Hall 8) and Paul Horn Hall (Hall 10), and will therefore be even more compact in future. The short distances and the structure of the trade fair grounds in Stuttgart now enable the sun protection area to be further centralised and improved in qualitative terms.Without any discernible changes in the usual hall layout with its 'regular exhibitors', sun protection systems will now be presented from 2018 onwardsboth in Hall 4 and in Oskar Lapp Hall (Hall 6). The acquisition of new target groups for our exhibitors plays an important role in this respect, said Sebastian Schmid, who is responsible for the further development of the trade fair. For example, Oskar Lapp Hall (Hall 6) will also become the 'mecca' for the hotel and restaurant sector at the next R+T. In addition to traditional R+T visitors, this concept is also specifically geared towards everyone involved in making decisions regarding investments and the expansion of restaurant areas. In addition to other international companies, we have attracted in Renson and Weinor two well-known firms who will decisively shape the image of the new hall through their presence at R+T 2018 in Stuttgart, said Sebastian Schmid.Paul Renson, Managing Director of the Belgian company Renson, is pleased to support the well thought-out hall plan: We are happy to be part of the new concept and are honoured to have the chance to participate in shaping the future development of the trade fair. Visitors to R+T 2018 can already look forward to our appearance and eagerly anticipate the presentation of the company Renson.Thilo Weiermann, Managing Director of Weinor in Cologne, is also looking forward to the new opportunities which will be available when his company takes part in R+T 2018: Thanks to our position in the new hall, we can perfectly implement our stand concept in cooperation with the trade fair management - the ideal condition to impress trade visitors with our company's innovative strength.
