Can caravans swim? Do captains work in a police station? How does a 16 year old manage to sail around the world in 210 days – all by herself?
All questions about water sports will probably never be answered, but curious visitors have the best chance to get answers to many questions at the world's largest water sports trade fair, the boot in Düsseldorf.
The global credit crunch and the bad business news have not adversely affected Glasstec trade show in Düsseldorf. Higher visitor figures, the presence of additional exhibiting companies and a good sales and orders performance have resulted in a positive atmosphere among trade show organizers and glass industry representatives alike.
Permeable or not, this is in the case of glass, in fact the question. Light shines through, this is what most people think, however, this is not quite true. Low iron glass is aimed to protect cells, but it is supposed to also let more light energy shine on the modules than normal window glass. On the other hand, modern three-or four-glazed windows let light through, but form an energy-saving temperature barrier. This way in the winter the cold stays outside and the heat inside. In the summer modern windows can automatically darken and prevent the room from heating up - energy for air conditioning is therefore saved. Glass has a lot of potential, a fact the visitors to the trade fairs glasstec and solarpeq in Düsseldorf, will have the chance to convince themselves of.
The interesting part can be found inside! Actually, this is not entirely true anymore, because packaging has reached a high-tech level for some time now. Now it can even speak. But apart from that the wrapping-industry has been developing in many directions: packaging has to be ecological, well legible, act as advertising space and of course, if nothing else, also be nice-looking. In any case, the trade fair interpack in Düsseldorf is the place to be when it comes to packaging.
Tools are supposed to make normal life easier, at least that is how it should be. People with disabilities, however, are dependant on such tools in order to be able to live their lives in a normal way. Ten percent of the Germans live with a recognized disability - for these people - and for their families and carers - the fair RehaCare in Düsseldorf offers an array of already known devices - and some new ones are of course presented as well.
Large offset rollers and type cases are sometimes no longer part of the inventory of even the largest newspaper printing plants. Through the constant increasing possibilities digital printing has revolutionized the printing industry, which was declared dead a few years ago. But only newspaper, only print - a publishing house cannot be structured this one-sided in today’s world. At least one iPhone app or additional internet supplemental offering has to be provided. And even book printing offices have to admit: digital intervention in a centuries-old process present amazing opportunities.
