A glob- al presence for customers operating world- wide means that the same level of services we offer as part of Stauff Line is available worldwide and at all sites.

Our Stauff Line system partners cover regions in which we do not have our own representatives. What are you hoping from the Hanover Fair? The exhibition floor area is significantly smaller than in previous years. There will only be 4,000 exhibitors com- pared to the 6,500 exhibitors in past years, and significantly fewer visitors are ex- pected overall. Why did you nonetheless decide to attend? We are entering the race with great self- confidence and with a focus on Stauff Con- nect, as the ‘top dog’, as it were. Hardly any of our direct market competitors will be at- tending, with many having cancelled at short notice. The fair is a tradition at Stauff and once again this year will be a meeting point for international partners, suppliers, customers and colleagues. Apart from show- casing our products, our exhibition stand (Hall 5, Stand D16) is above all a lounge area in which we can exchange ideas with cus- tomers. I am thrilled when customers come up to us and challenge us. As I said above: challenge us!
