As the industry’s leading international trade fair for modern working environments, Orgatec presents the whole world of work. which means it encompasses everything that contributes to the ideal interplay between work environment, processes and culture.
Running from 25 to 29 October 2016 in Cologne, the 20% expanded space exhibition space of Orgatec takes a holistic view of the world of work, which has led to growing numbers of companies seeing it as the European trade fair to present their products and services to industry specialists.

Orgatec’s “Contract”, “Mobile”, “Space” and “Office” themed areas provide valuable ideas for the design of inspiring work environments – in the office, at home and on the go.
