Munich promises new ideas and premieres

Visitors to opti Munich (January 10-12) will have the chance to try out the products of some 500 exhibitors and more than 1,200 brands at an event expected to attract 23,000 trade visitors.

Dieter Dohr, CEO and president of GHM Gesellschaft für Handwerksmessen, which has run the show since 2008, said demand from exhibitors from Germany and abroad wanting to take part in the show remained strong. ‘All the key players in the market, plus exciting newcomers, will be presenting their products and service in the four exhibition halls at the fairground Messe München.’

He added that interest was high in opti boxes, where start-up companies presented themselves to the international trade audience, often for the first time. There would be 12 boxes at the show, up from eight in 2013.
