Just weeks ahead of the event, the forecast for ORGATEC 2014 is outstanding! The fair runs from 21-25 October 2014 at the Koelnmesse exhibition grounds.
More than 600 companies from 40 countries will present their new products and services on 105,000 gross square metres of exhibition space. For the ORGATEC 2014 event, many manufacturers have booked more stand space than for the 2012 edition of the fair.
The exhibitors list of this year’s ORGATEC 2014 reads like a “Who’s Who” of the industry, including numerous national and international market leaders and important industry players, among them Actiu, Bentley, Dauphin, Durable, Fendi, Giroflex, Haworth, Interface, Interstuhl, Kokuyo, Komtech, König + Neurath, Nowy Styl, Nurus, Palmberg, Sedus, Tobias Grau, Unifor, Vitra und Wilkhahn.
More than two thirds of the exhibiting companies come from abroad. There will be a particularly strong presence from companies from Italy, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Turkey and France. In four segments, “ORGATEC Office”, “ORGATEC Contract”, “ORGATEC Space” and “ORGATEC Mobile”, the trade fair will present integrated solutions and comprehensive concepts for everything connected with the office as a working and living environment.
In Halls 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.2 and 11.2, leading national and international manufacturers from the furnishing, flooring, acoustic, light, media and conference technology sectors will present their novelties to industry players from all over the world.
The range of trade visitors to the fair comprises founders of start-up companies, dealers and decision makers from SMEs as well as executives from the Procurement and Human Resources departments of large corporations. With almost 50 percent of the trade visitors coming from abroad, the ORGATEC also underscores its importance on an international scale.
