With immediate effect, Blechexpo - the international trade fair for sheet-metal processing - is getting a sponsor. The privately owned trade fair organiser P.E. Schall GmbH & Co. KG, Frickenhausen, and the VDW (German Machine Tool Builders’ Association), Frankfurt am Main, have announced that the VDW will already be taking over sponsorship for the Blechexpo for the very next event (6 to 9 June 2011).
Blechexpo has been held in Stuttgart every two years since 2007. In the odd-numbered years, it is the largest trade fair for sheet-metal processing in Europe. In June of this year, it will be celebrating its 10th anniversary, and has evolved into a top-ranking event.
European and world class event “We want this uptrend to continue, and are delighted to have acquired a potent ally for swiftly achieving this goal”, says Paul E. Schall, founder and organiser of the Blechexpo. The declared goal of both partners is introduce synergies to progress the internationalization of this successful fair. The aim is to extend joint activities to the European stage. The VDW’s Executive Director Wilfried Schäfer adds: “The VDW as a sectoral organisation will also be contributing its knowledge of the market and the industry, so that we can jointly progress the conceptual underpinning of the Blechexpo.”
Partnership for the future Within the framework of this collaboration, the VDW’s remit is to identify and evaluate trends of activity sectors. In addition, it will be supporting and reinforcing public relations work and advertising for Blechexpo, as well as organizing attractive supporting events during the fair.
Both partners are looking forward to working together, and anticipate extensive synergies and enhanced momentum for progressing Blechexpo.
