“The R+T in Stuttgart is worldwide the most important
trade fair for us. Accordingly, our preparations are already
running at full speed for 2018 so that visitors will be able
to look forward to lots of new products from Alukon. Apart
from product innovations, the focus will above all be on our
new options as systemmanufacturer, following the major
expansion at our company location.“

“We from Sattler look forward to the most important industry
meeting in Europe. Given that in 2018 the collection change
and the R+T will occur in the same year, our presentation will
focus on the innovations of our design centre. A surprise is
also planned in the technical development. Hence the next
R+T will be doubly exciting!“

“We are already looking forward to the R+T 2018, because the
move to Hall 8 and the new, much bigger Hall 10 will provide
exhibitors and visitors with completely new options. All the
many requests for more space in particular can now be met.

“There is still a year to go until the R+T in Stuttgart. But the
manufacturers of doors and door components already have
their eyes on the most important trade fair in our industry.
The R+T sets the pace for many of our member firms. Sub-
jects like energy efficiency, operating comfort and security
installations on doors/gates will be very prominent at the
R+T 2018, not just among the exhibitors, but also in the
information programme. Visitors can acquire a comprehen-
sive overview of the market by attending the trade fair and
get to see many different kinds of problem solutions and
special applications for the door/gate sector.“
Kai-Uwe Grögor,
Managing Director BVT Association Doors/Gates
“For us as exhibitors the R+T will once again be a highlight
in 2018. Our guiding principle is that success comes from
customer proximity. Consequently, the R+T is an ideal plat-
form for us. Here we make and cultivate contacts, pick up
new ideas for further development and present product
innovations and the Elero brand to a wide international
trade are looking forward to presenting our
expanded range of products and services to trade visitors.
This is because after our new focused factory is completed
in autumn 2017, we can react even faster and more flexibly
to customer needs.“
Axel Lamprecht, Distribution and Marketing Director Elero
“The R+T in Stuttgart is indisputably the leading world
trade fair for the door/gate, roller shutter and sun protec-
tion industry and for the drives and controls with which
security, comfort and health can be enhanced.When it co-
mes to automation, doors, gates and shading play a leading
role in the construction sector. But this is also associated
with demands on safe use, which can only be identified in
combination with the intended application and user group.
This is why power-actuated construction elements have
their mechanical, electric and functional safety tested by
ift Rosenheim. The ift special exhibition “Comfort + safety!”
at the R+T in Hall 10 shows what construction elements are
capable of today, how the requirements are to be tested
and how their quality can be ensured.“
Prof Ulrich Sieberath, Insitute Director ift Rosenheim

time at the last R+T and in 2018 we will be back in Stutt-
gart with more innovative products. Being able to cultivate
personal contacts in an international framework is very im-
portant to us and provides us with tremendous opportuni-
ties to inspire customers with our products and services.”
Konrad Kaiser, Heroal Managing Director
