Director of Ambiente Dining, Thomas Kastl, speaks to Progressive Housewares ahead of the show about the plans for this year and what makes Frankfurt so important in the housewares calendar.
In February 2023, Ambiente was held for the first time in conjunction with Christmasworld and Creativeworld, which has helped to grow the show in the lead up to 2024. Thomas Kastl, director, Ambiente Dining, explains: “The three international trade fairs create unique synergy effects worldwide and bring together supply and demand in a targeted manner – buyers of all kinds of target groups get their money’s worth here. We offer the industry one networking and ordering event a year, with all relevant product groups and ranges, unique trends and inspiration as well as valuable industry knowledge – at one time and one place.”
He continues: “Frankfurt thus becomes the one-stop shop for the global consumer goods industry. The three leading trade fairs strengthen the core segments, open up future fields and provide a global market overview. Our approach: networking and intersection for all forms of trade. Conserving resources and increasing efficiency. The new concept was a success and exceeded all expectations – and will be continued in 2024.”
