José Miguel Corres, Managing Director of the Bilbao exhibition Centre, stated its vision to Interempresas TV global fair, thus making a positive and highlighting the most important elements that have characterised Ferroforma/Practical World 2009.
What assessment can make fair?
My assessment is positive to taking into account that this year the fair was with many uncertainties by exhibitors and also with regard to the visitors. I think that the number of people that we have seen at the fair has ratified a health in keeping with the times, but still had a very important pull. Therefore, we are quite happy. Another thing is business that can make the exhibitors between them, this is a part that we do not know with certainty but for comments and, from what we have seen, with regard to how they interact we see that yes there are good feelings.
José Miguel Corres, Managing Director of the Bilbao Exhibition Centre BEC.
It is the first time that Ferroforma held this edition together with Practical World...
It is the first to be held in Bilbao. Thanks to this agreement have been able to appreciate positive circumstances, one of which is the number of foreigners and important elected visitors who have come to the fair, as well as the presence of relevant groups of purchase at the international level as Edra and Leroy Merlinwhich are very interesting for our exhibitors for their purchasing power.
This year introduced the information stand ' Stop Copies!'...
We must bear in mind that in this sector we are exposed to certain aspects of piracy. Us this year, part of the action to the stand of ' Stop Copies!', also have had a Department of intellectual property with some lawyers that deal with the issue. In this regard, there has been a complaint. Even so, we can only advise to the injured person, are not police officers or it is our mission, but we do advise to those affected, we have documented and notified to the defendant. Based on and continue the process of protest, the announced will have to close the stand and remove the product. A few years ago in Germany there was a pitched battle in this topic among Western and Asian, but this year in Ferroforma everything has worked very civilly.
