NEW AT BAU: Element façade "WICTEL 50EL", amongst others, at the Wicona stand.

(Jan. 16, 2007) Among the leading exhibitors at the Bau 2007 trade fair in Munich is Wicona, one of the main brands within Hydro Building Systems.

The Bau 2007 fair in Munich opened its doors on Monday. The first feedback from the Wicona stand indicates huge interest for the new solutions put on display.

"Almost sensational are the customer responses to our new range of fire doors with various designs," says Hydro's Hans-Ditmar Schuster.

In addition to the new range of fire doors, Wicona is unveiling two element façade systems and a façade that meets "PassivHaus" efficiency with insulation values. Hydro is also introducing a new range of products in the area of the Wicona "SunLite" system.

Arnd Brinkmann, who heads Hydro Building Systems in Germany, says "it is our intention here in Munich not just to present ourselves as a company, but rather as the brand Wicona, to underline our position as the leading technological system. It also allows us to maintain existing contacts while simultaneously make important new ones."

The BAU trade fair, held January 15 - 21, hosts approximately 2,000 exhibitors from 40 countries, and is expecting 190,000 trade visitors from over 100 countries.

The bi-annual fair covers the entire spectrum of building materials. It is Europe’s leading trade fair for the “Future of Building” and is a great opportunity for Wicona to promote itself on an international stage.
