"The premium business event in Leipzig not only provided a platform for the presentation of products and services, but also promoted the exchange of ideas and experiences between specialist retailers and suppliers as well as other industry experts. The event gave us the opportunity to meet our customers and to engage in inspirational dialogue with potential business partners. We enjoyed a high number of visitors to our stand over the two days of the fair. The trade fair sales team from SHD once again demonstrated outstanding commitment and impressed trade visitors with their professional and welcoming presence. Many thanks to the team!
