Halblech,
Bihler takes stock of a very successful EuroBLECH
Bihler at EuroBLECH 2010
"The cards are on the table. And Bihler has drawn several jokers!" Despite suffering from a sore throat, CEO Mathias Bihler was upbeat about this year's EuroBLECH in Hanover, the largest trade fair in the world for sheet metal forming. Numerous meetings with existing and potential customers have left their mark. But it was worthwhile. "This year has been very positive for us. And now we have to play our jokers strategically."
At times there was no room to move on Bihler's stand in Hall 27, with so many trade visitors anxious to find out about the products on display and the services on offer. "The interest from the industry both at home and abroad was tremendous. So many specific inquiries from the automotive and electrical industries are a clear indicator for a sustained upswing" Bihler continued.
The modular, highly flexible concept of the new BIMERIC system was a favourite not only with the jury. Trade visitors were also impressed when the futuristic system was started up on the stand. "Now we have to incorporate all the ideas which visitors proposed" says Bernd Haussmann, Head of Development/Design/Production, "so we can exponentiate the system." Bihler intends to demonstrate an actual application "live" at their next in-house exhibition BihlerTEC 2011. "We have several interesting projects to choose from."
