GARDEN Trader 2024

"We were relatively sceptical about how the trade fair would go because of the economic framework conditions - what the mood of the visitors, exhibitors and buyers would be like. However, the enthusiasm for the industry, the season, turnovers and innovations of all those involved positively surprised us. The message is clear: Everyone found it important to take enough time for discussions and the mutual exchange. We totally stand behind the trade fair. It was of high quality, very aesthetic and we had great fun. Taking part was extremely worthwhile for us again and we are convinced that spoga+gafa is on the right track. We are very satisfied." - Dr. Peter O. Wüst - Managing Director of the Retailers' Association for Home Improvement, Building and Gardening e.V. (BHB) - "Even more exhibitors from the international grill and BBQ industry are represented at spoga+gafa 2023 than in the previous years. I am impressed by the high quality of the discussions and exchanges over the three days of the trade fair. Significantly more visitors were interested in new and tradition- al ways of preparing meat as well as in ways of cooking vegetables and other side dishes. The demand for grill accessories is very high. The technical development among the classics, the charcoal grills, also continues to be unabated. Here, the BIAG is accompanying its member companies on the way into the future." - Norbert Jedrau, General Manager, Barbecue Industry Association Grill e.V. (BIAG) - w w w .
