After four successful trade fair days, the 22nd GaLaBau came to a close on 17 September in Nuremberg: exactly 64,138 trade visitors travelled to the event to inform themselves about products and trends for planning, construction and maintenance with greenery.

The increased internationality of the trade fair is encouraging. In this connection, in terms of exhibitors, this time around almost every fourth company was international. Compared with the previous event, the increase in internationality here was 10 %. On the visitors’ side every 10th visitor came to late-summer Nuremberg from abroad, among others from Austria, Poland and Italy.

Stefan Dittrich, Director Exhibitions GaLaBau, said he was satisfied and concluded: “The mood at GaLaBau 2016 was simply splendid: full halls and intensive sales discussions. GaLaBau has once again fully lived up to its name as the green sector’s meeting place.” This time, 1,320 companies exhibited in increased space in a total of 13 exhibition halls.

GaLaBau is a worldwide, comprehensive general fair covering the planning, construction and maintenance of urban, open and green spaces. The trade visitors are companies in the horticulture, landscaping and open space construction sectors, landscape architects, but also planners from the federal government authorities, the federal states (Länder) and local authorities and municipalities. GaLaBau is optimally complemented by a comprehensive range of products and services for the operators of leisure parks, camp sites and kindergartens as well as managers from the golf course construction, maintenance and management sectors. The trade fair is held every two years at the exhibition centre Nuremberg.
