forum.”
FIT SHOW’S
FENSTERBAU DEBUT
The UK’s key exhibition for the
fenestration industry, the Fabricator
Installer Trade (FIT) Show is exhibiting at Fensterbau for the first time
this March in a bid to attract visitors to the 2016 and 2017 events.
The organisation is also looking
to propose the exhibition as a
gateway to the UK window, door,
conservatory and glazing markets.
Historically, the UK has heavily
influenced building styles in many
overseas markets and the desire
to reach out through Fensterbau
to demonstrate that a powerful
specific showcase exists for the UK
fenestration market, is one which
cannot be missed.
Overseas visitors seeking British
sourced and influenced windows,
doors and components can find
hundreds of suppliers all under
the same roof, at the same time,
making a buying mission highly
effective for overseas specifiers.
The FIT Show is in the UK Pavilion organised by the Glass and
Glazing Federation and will appear
alongside other UK companies
seeking international exposure.
Paul Godwin, Managing Director of The FIT Show said: “We are
co-exhibiting with the GGF at Fensterbau because we acknowledge
the strength of the event as an international showcase. Fensterbau is
a powerful international event but
for any company specifically targeting the highly buoyant UK window
and door market, The FIT Show
provides an excellent gateway into
the UK market.”
The Fabricator Installer Trade
(FIT) Show is at The International
Centre, Telford, on 12-14 April,
2016. General information is at:
