The views of industry. What our exhibitors thought ab
Dr. Matthias von Krauland, Spokesman for the Board, Eisenmann AG, Böblingen:“HANNOVER MESSE offers exhibiting companies a high-level international platform. IndustrialGreenTec was what brought us to Hannover: this was the fi rst time in nearly ten years that we had exhibited again, and that’s because the theme of the show is important to us and is a good fi t with what we do. Our focus is on highlighting the technological options that are already available, and making industry more aware of these technologies.”
Carsten Stumpf, Marketing & Sales Manager, Sales Department, Kawasaki Robotics GmbH, Neuss:“Our presentation had a double aim: it highlighted our role as a partner to industry, supplying the solutions it needs, and it served as a launch pad for our latest products. The partner concept went down very well, and proved to be a great lead-in to a product presentation. Customers don’t buy products, they buy solutions. That’s what our presentation was all about – and it was a complete success all round.”
Angela Josephs, Press Offi cer and Head of Press and PR at Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co. KG, Blomberg:
“HANNOVER MESSE is always the most important trade show of the year for us. It’s also good for our export business, because
we get a high proportion of foreign visitors. Our company owner always says HANNOVER MESSE is like Christmas, when all the
good gifts get put on the table. That’s why we choose to launch all our new products here.”
Dr. Peter Terwiesch, Head of Sales for the Central European Region and Board Chairman of ABB AG, Mannheim:
“As the largest industrial show worldwide, HANNOVER MESSE is the most important event of all for ABB, allowing us to present
our complete product portfolio for every stage of the value-adding chain. As a showcase for innovations, HANNOVER MESSE is the
perfect place to launch our latest products and solutions, where they are seen not only by technical specialists but also by
a broader audience.”
out the show.
Detlef Sieverdingbeck, Head of Corporate Communications,
Linde Material Handling GmbH, Aschaffenburg:
“For the past eighteen months we have been offering electric
drive technology to external customers as well. We are getting a
lot of inquiries, some of them very specifi c, and we’ve had orders
for some of the products we presented at the show. The location
in Hall 25 is great for us, we feel it does us justice. And the feed-
back has been very positive.”
Philip Harting, Chairman of Connectivity & Networks
at the HARTING Technology Group, Espelkamp:
“HARTING has been exhibiting at HANNOVER MESSE from the
very beginning – so we are talking about 65 years of history
here! The trade visitors who work in business and government
are all high-class professionals, and they travel to Hannover
from every corner of the world to learn about the latest trends
in various sectors of industry.”
Dr. Ingo Luge, responsible for the German business
of the energy concern E.ON, Düsseldorf:
“HANNOVER MESSE is a great place for us to get talking to
interested opinion-formers and to share our thoughts and ideas
about the future of energy. That includes joining in the dialogue
on energy policy as well as discussing the business and scientifi c
aspects of our industry. And HANNOVER MESSE gives us exactly
the right setting for this kind of exchange.”

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heinz Jörg Fuhrmann, Chairman of the Board
at Salzgitter AG, Salzgitter:
“HANNOVER MESSE is a key communication platform for Salz-
gitter AG, hosting a wide-ranging dialogue with customers and
partners in Germany and around the world. Here we can reach all
our target groups under one roof. A productive steel industry and
the innovative products it supplies form the basis of many value-
adding chains in our industrial economy – as we demonstrate
here in numerous exhibits featuring products and processes.”
No other show can boast more world fi rsts and more integrated solutions than HANNOVER MESSE. A look back at HANNOVER MESSE 2012 reveals fi gures that tell their own success story – with an increased trade visitor quota and an enlarged international presence.
