Profine UK, which owns the Kömmerling brand of high-performance PVC-U window and door systems, has supported the Fit Show team’s decision to move the industry exhibition to May 2022. (See our earlier news story about the Fit Show’s decision, here.) Fit Show is a flagship UK exhibition for businesses within the glass and glazing sectors, and it is scheduled to take place at Birmingham’s NEC from Tuesday 10 to Thursday 12 May 2022.
The Profine Group is also fully committed to exhibiting at Fensterbau, a Germany-based trade show for businesses within the window, doors and façades industries, which is scheduled to take place from 29 March to 1 April in Nuremberg. Fensterbau organisers are aiming to welcome more than 110,00 visitors to the show. Following from this, Profine argues that the Fit Show will be an overwhelming success, after successful vaccination programmes both in the UK and overseas, along with the settling down in product supply and pricing pressures that are currently affecting the domestic sector.
Robert Thiroff, managing director of Profine UK and the Kömmerling brand, said: “Common sense has prevailed for a number of reasons in postponing the show, and it’s good news for the industry. We’re protecting everyone’s welfare and also moving the show back so all businesses can focus on the challenging variables that are affecting us all.”
He continued: “The combination of a global pandemic, accelerated consumer demand, raw material price increases and product supply issues have affected everyone across the industry, if we’re all honest. Our focus must therefore be on the welfare of our staff, customers and business partners whilst we all work tirelessly on business fundamentals. Moving the show will provide some element of respite for many. We look forward to 2022 with two exhibitions on the calendar, firstly from a European perspective, with Fensterbau, and at home in the UK, with the Fit Show, where we’ll look to showcase our newly expanded and feature-rich product portfolio, along with other new business initiatives.”
