The trade fair pairing of FENSTERBAU FRONTALE and HOLZ-HANDWERK has now returned to its usual date in spring – and with great success. Over the past four days, a total of around 75,000 visitors from 112 countries gathered at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg to meet 973 exhibitors from 44 countries and discuss the latest trends in window, door and façade construction as well as woodworking and wood processing. Both trade fairs were accompanied by a comprehensive supporting programme that offered many valuable ideas on industry topics of current relevance.

Immersion in new products and technologies, making valuable industry contacts and coming to grips with current challenges such as sustainability, protection against climate extremes, serialized construction and refurbishment and the shortage of skilled labour: Despite or rather because of the tense situation in the construction industry, the trade fair pairing of FENSTERBAU FRONTALE and HOLZ-HANDWERK proved very popular once again this year and attracted visitors from the carpentry, joinery, architecture and window and façade construction sectors to Nuremberg from around the world. A great atmosphere, lively discussions in the exhibition halls and extremely positive feedback from all sides allow the organizers to look back on four successful days at the trade fair with great satisfaction. The independent visitor survey also confirmed the quality of the trade visitors and the high proportion of decision-makers present.

FENSTERBAU FRONTALE impresses with many innovations and programme highlights

The latest profile systems, glass in architecture, fastening technology, security systems, machines, systems and much more all awaited discovery at the stands of the 644 exhibitors at FENSTERBAU FRONTALE 2024. “FENSTERBAU FRONTALE has once again clearly proven itself as the world’s leading trade fair for windows, doors and façades and was THE central meeting point for visitors from all over the world in search of the latest trending themes and solutions to key industry challenges, which is reflected in the key trade fair figures,” says Elke Harreiß, Executive Director FENSTERBAU FRONTALE, NürnbergMesse. “The exhibitors’ stands, some of which were very impressive, showcased exciting products, including many world firsts from both key players and start-ups.” Special highlights in the supporting programme included the FENSTERBAU FRONTALE FORUM, the Architecture-Window-Facade Forum with accompanying guided tours and the forum “A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO DIGITISATION”, in addition to numerous special shows such as “climate.safe.building”, MetallbauTREFF, “Focus Interior doors” and Taste of windays. The JobMatch stand, the forum “A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO DIGITISATION” and the “Young Innovators” pavilion, which were realized jointly for FENSTERBAU FRONTALE and HOLZ-HANDWERK, were also very well attended.

HOLZ-HANDWERK also very popular

At HOLZ-HANDWERK, 329 exhibitors showcased the latest trends and innovations in the woodworking and wood processing industry, from sawing and sanding machines to woodworking machines and extraction systems. “We are very pleased that HOLZ-HANDWERK was so well attended despite the economic conditions in the construction industry and that we were once again able to showcase all the operational requirements of the carpentry industry and thus the entire value chain of woodworking and wood processing,” says Stefan Dittrich, Executive Director HOLZ-HANDWERK, NürnbergMesse. “The success of the event makes it clear: Challenging times, in particular, make an industry platform such as HOLZ-HANDWERK all the more important.” Additional highlights included the Bavarian Association of Cabinet Makers (FSH) special show “DesignObjekt – ObjektDesign” and the HOLZ-HANDWERK CAMPUS, where various vocational training colleges and other advanced training establishments presented their facilities.
