Successful GaLaBau premiere for uvex

Fürth - For the 25^th edition of the trade fair, the uvex safety group took part in the GaLaBau in Nuremberg for the first time as an exhibitor. There was a great deal of interest in the products of the Middle Franconian manufacturer of personal protective equipment, and a prominent guest also contributed to this: Davit Arican had paid a visit to the uvex stand.

The number 25 was omnipresent in the days from 11 to 14 September: As soon as they entered the exhibition halls, the more than 66,000 visitors to GaLaBau were handed apples with corresponding engravings. Since 1974, this traditional industry meeting of gardeners and landscapers has been bringing existing, which takes place every two years and therefore invited to the anniversary edition this year. A wide range of products was offered: In 14 halls and on the outdoor area, more than 1100 exhibiting companies from 33 countries presented their products and services for the green industry, including uvex for the first time this year.

Personal protective equipment from head to toe could be experienced at booth 5-224 – in the truest sense of the word: Numerous visitors put on the HexArmor® ThornArmor® 3092 protective glove on site to see for themselves that the thorns of the cacti on site don't stand a chance against the innovative SuperFabric® material. In addition to the quality of the products – next to gloves, these included workwear, safety shoes, safety goggles, helmets, visor systems, hearing and respiratory protection – uvex was also able to score points with its numerous individualisation options. For example, landscaping and landscaping companies can equip their employees with protective equipment from uvex emblazoned with their own company logo.

Davit Arican has done just that: the owner of a planning office is known from the German television format "Duell der Gartenprofis" (Duel of Garden Professionals) and, like his team, is working with individualised protective equipment from uvex to make the world a little greener and more beautiful in some areas. On Friday, he answered questions from interested parties as part of a meet-and-greet, causing beaming faces at booth 5-224.

"All in all, this was a great GaLaBau premiere for us," Rainer Füger, Sector Manager Construction at the uvex safety group, summed up in conclusion. "We welcomed so many visitors at our booth and had really good conversations. You can tell that in this industry, people treat each other both professionally and simply pleasantly."
