Betz Manufaktur, Esquire, Infoplus, Inspirion, i.p.a., Kahla, Magna sweets, micx-media, Mister Bags, multibrands, Nestler-matho, Niederegger, Orcas, Premo, Protrade, Ritter-Pen, Samsonite, Sanders Imagetools, Snap Sportswear, team-d, Troika, Vossen and XD Connects were on board. According to the organisers, 372 trading companies attended the event, represented by 770 people in total, who informed themselves about new products and trends. The exhibitors and distributors were equally glad to engage in a personal exchange.
This year the tour of the show kicked off in the Austrian Capital, Vienna (22.11.), before travelling on to Linz a day later (23.11.). Mainz (28.11.) was the first stop in Germany. Decorated with a Christmas tree, the location in the Atrium Hotel conveyed a festive mood.
