hibitions Asia, was highly sat-
isfied with the result of the
trade fair, “Last year we once
again demonstrated that the
R+T Asia is the leading indus-
try trade fair in the Asia-Pa-
cific region. We also see great
potential in the coming years
and are betting on an expan-
sion of our exhibition areas.
“It looks as if the long last-
ing success will also continue
this year: the R+T Shanghai
will once again open its doors
from 24-26 March 2015.
R+T Turkey
The R+T Turkey opened for
business for the first time in
November 2013 on the DNR
EXPO grounds in Istanbul
and exceeded all expecta-
tions. There were 116 exhibi-
tors fromTurkey and a total of
ten other countries represent-
ed at the leading trade fair for
roller shutters, doors/gates,
windows and sun protection,
who presented products and
innovations on 15.000 m2.
“About 7000 visitors from 82
countries, high quality exhibi-
tor stands and a wide product
range – our premiere in Tur-
key was well worth seeing,”
Roland Bleinroth, managing
director of Messe Stuttgart,
and his Turkish partner Hakan
Gencoglu from Ares Fuarcilik,
were agreed.
Almost 20 per cent of the visi-
tors were from abroad. Apart
from the press of visitors and
their very international na-
ture, the exhibitors were in
particular delighted with the
contact to visitors from previ-
ously hardly touched markets.
“We have seldom or never en-
countered guests from coun-
tries like Turkmenistan, Azer-
baijan, Uzbekistan, Iran, Iraq or
other Islamic countries in this
region at an R+T,” according to
Emre Büyükcavus from Cro-
cist. The event on Turkish soil
changed this from the word
go and opened up access to
new markets with enormous
potential. Emre Büyükcavus,
“There is a need for sun pro-
tection in these countries
and the use of corresponding
products will greatly increase
in the coming years.”“
Bernhard Müller, Bereichsleit-
er Messe Stuttgart Interna-
tional: “We found the right
place with the trade fair in the
world metropolis Istanbul to
supplement the portfolio of
the R+T with the region of Tur-
key and the Middle East. “Due
to this euphoric reception on
the part of exhibitors, visitors
and organisers, its continua-
tion is beyond doubt: the R+T
Turkey will take place from 12-
15 November 2015.
R+T Australia
For the premiere of the R+T
Australia 74 well-known man-
ufacturers from the roller
shutter, door/gate and sun
protection industries got to-
gether in August 2014 in the
Melbourne Convention and
Exhibition Centre.
The first event of this kind in
Australia offered decision-
makers from the building sec-
tor as well as architects, sup-
pliers of building installations
and public authority repre-
sentatives an ideal platform
for exchanges regarding the
latest products and develop-
ments.
It became clear in this context
that there was a great deal of
potential in the field of energy
efficiency.
Forty national and 34 inter-
national exhibitors presented
their current products to in-
terested trade visitors on 1600
m2 . The potential of this trade
fair was confirmed by the fact
that the R+T Australia was
attended by visitors from 25
countries and every continent,
including interested parties
from Germany, Canada, Chile,
Uruguay and Egypt. The ex-
hibitors for their part greatly
appreciated the good visitor
quality.
The R+T Australia was charac-
terised by a balanced mixture
of the segments roller shut-
ters, sun protection, awnings
and doors/gates. The field of
drives and controls was rep-
resented mainly by European
manufacturers, because au-
tomation and building auto-
mation has not yet acquired
the importance in Australia it
has for example in Europe. But
all those involved were confi-
dent that the potential exist-
ed and can be exploited in the
years to come. Experts expect
a great increase in residen-
tial density in the cities in the
near future, which will expe-
dite this development. Overall,
the subject of sun protection
and energy efficiency can be
underlined even more in pub-
lic perception. Consequently,
there is an opportunity in the
long term in this area to in-
form developers, and in the
end the end-consumer too,
that the use of air condition-
ing systems can be reduced by
intelligent sun protection.
