From the very beginning, we as exhibitors have experienced the heimtextil trade fair as a source of inspiration, a platform for exchanging knowledge and a place to present our new products, which are later available to buy in stores. We are grateful for countless valuable contacts and look back proudly on 50 moving trade fair exhibitions.
