The MDA (Motion Drive and Automation) is the leading industry exhibition for global companies. The show includes electrical and mechanical drive technology as well as hydraulics and pneumatics.

At this year's CMT, the international holiday exhibition for caravanning, motoring and tourism, bluepool one again built 1,800 m² of stands for its customers.

The CMT with almost 1,900 exhibitors, offers holiday ideas, the most beautiful destinations from around the world, southern Germany's largest caravanning and motorhome show and a tourism entertainment programme. Special travel themes such as cycling, golf, wellness, cruises and culture will be featured on both weekends in their own exhibition areas. Visitors will find inspiration, ideas and all the important information they need for their dream holiday.

Malaysia and Croatia are the two selected partner countries this year, while Ticino in Switzerland is the partner region for the camping and caravanning area.

More than 60,000 people visited the CMT 2012 on the first visitor weekend alone. Around 30,000 visitors came the previous year, predominantly because of the extensive range of special themes.

Alexander Bonde, Baden-Württemberg's Minister for Rural Affairs and Consumer Protection, said at the opening: "The CMT has developed into an outstanding event at the start of the year and the most significant public exhibition for tourism and leisure in Europe - it really is the barometer of the tourism mood at the start of the year."

bluepool asked the crucial question "What comes after school?" at the information and orientation exhibition "Börse deiner Zukunft 2011" (BdZ) in autumn.
Lots of students, teachers and interested parents were looking for the right answer. The young people were able to find out about an array of training jobs in advance and make their first contacts at firms. This also gave the participating companies the chance to find suitable and motivated employees.

Every year, the large district towns of Filderstadt and Leinfelden-Echterdingen and many partners invite people to the information and orientation exhibition. The neighbouring communities of Leinfelden-Echterdingen and Filderstadt hosted the traditional event for the 8th year in close cooperation with local schools and trade associations.

The Stuttgart Exhibition Centre is closing its doors for 2011. As a long-term contract partner of the Centre bluepool realised 20,100 m2 of regular stands.  bluepool also realised countless individual stands at this site.

Each year, the Exhibition Centre hosts more than 35 of its own exhibitions and events, as well as 30 guest events.
The Exhibition Centre will reopen its doors on 14.01.2012 to start a new exhibition year. As a permanent contract partner bluepool will be there too.

Come and visit the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre at one of the many events in the new year.

bluepool has been tasked with the conception and realisation of the 240-m2 island stand. The special feature of the new stand concept is an architectural belt running around the whole stand. This embodies the strong connection between Alpha Deuren and its dealers.
The doors Alpha Deuren produces are showcased at the centre of the exhibition stand. The doors move at different intervals, creating a dynamic picture.
The colours of Alpha Deuren's corporate design dominate the concept.

Alpha Deuren is presenting for the second time at the R+T, the biennial international exhibition for roller shutters, doors and sun protection from 28.02 - 03.03.2012 in Stuttgart.

The Dutch company produces doors and door mechanisms for industry and the housing construction sector, which are sold via a broad network of dealers.
