🌟 Spotted: A historical treasure from our archives! 🌟 On 17 August 1360, Stadt Köln received a very special privilege: The seal, granted by the Emperor Charles IV, gave us the right to hold trade fairs twice a year - for eight days before; respectively after St John's Day (24 June) and St Martin's Day (11 November). This official authorisation has contributed immensely to Cologne's status as world-class trading location and has added to the economic and political power of the city over the centuries. 🙌   Even though Koelnmesse as a company was only officially founded about 564 years later, this seal marked an important turning point in the history of the trade fair world. 📚 Since its start as a proper company 1924 - exactly 100 years ago - Koelnmesse has been a vibrant meeting place for innovation, business opportunities and international cooperation. 🤩 📸: Koelnmesse GmbH / Thomas Schäkel #koelnmesse #koelnmesseconnects #history #tradefair 

🤝 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀: 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗦𝗦 🤝 The EXPO REAL (Messe München) is not only a platform for exciting presentations and discussions, but also the perfect opportunity to organise personal meetings. Today we had a great conversation with the ACROSS Magazine with Reinhard Winiwarter Winiwarter, with whom we are proud to partner. The trade fair shows us again and again the importance of: 🔃️ Meeting in person: face-to-face conversations provide deeper insights and foster a better understanding. 🤝️ Strong partnerships: Direct contact strengthens collaboration and builds trust. 💡️ Developing New Ideas: Working together, we can create innovative approaches that positively shape the future. We look forward to continuing our productive collaboration with ACROSS Magazine ❓ 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱? #Kaufland #TeamKaufland #Footfallanchor #Retail #RealEstate #ExpoReal #BornInRetailLeadingInRealEstate #ACROSS

As is always the case on Thursdays, this week we are once again looking back into Koelnmesse’s past. 🕰️💫 This time we’re taking a look at the period between 1934 and 1943 – the darkest chapter in the company’s history. After the National Socialists came to power, Nazis were appointed to management positions at the trade fair organisation. As a result, propaganda events were organised in the Rheinhallen, including the "Braune Messe – Deutsche Woche" ("Brown Trade Fair – German Week"). During the Second World War, the trade fair grounds were misused as a camp for victims of National Socialist persecution. At times, the facilities were used as a subcamp. The founder of Koelnmesse, Konrad Adenauer, was also imprisoned here and was only able to survive due to a great stroke of luck. At this point, we would like to emphasise that whilst we report transparently about the history of Koelnmesse, we explicitly distance ourselves from any extremist and anti-democratic tendencies. As an international company and centre for world trade, we are committed to solidarity, openness and tolerance. We are built on and continue to work towards securing open-minded collaboration between industries, countries and cultures. 🌍🤝 📸: Koelnmesse GmbH / Maxi Uellendahl #koelnmesse #koelnmesseconnects #anniversary #tbt

🌟 E-Commerce Berlin Expo 🌟 Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of attending the #eCommerce #EXPO with Mondi Group in #Berlin, and what an event it was! Better late than never to share the excitement gained from this dynamic experience. From innovative solutions to emerging trends and tasty vegan food 🥗, the Expo offered a comprehensive look into the ever-evolving landscape of eCommerce. Here are three reasons why I always look forward to attending trade shows like these: 1️⃣ Stay Ahead of the Curve Well, this is a no brainer - trade shows like the eCommerce EXPO provide an invaluable opportunity to see new trends and check out the current market situation firsthand. Being able to immerse myself in the latest innovations and market dynamics equips me with the knowledge needed to stay competitive in our #packaging #industry. 2️⃣ Forge Meaningful Connections One of the highlights of trade shows is the chance to engage in exchanges with both new and existing customers. You know me, I like to listen and talk. These interactions offer invaluable insights into their perspectives and needs, helping me tailor our #marketing and #sales strategies to better serve them. Your #challenge is our challenge! 3️⃣ Foster Internal Bonding As someone who primarily works from home, the opportunity to share a booth with my colleagues from Corrugated Solutions and MailerBags was particularly special. Trade shows not only facilitate networking with external stakeholders but also provide a platform for internal bonding. Getting to connect with my colleagues face-to-face strengthens our teamwork, fosters collaboration, and reinforces our shared goals and vision. And yup, the dinners in the evening were fun 🤩 A big, fat thank you to Ismet Altan, Nicole Dörner, Stephan Peisl, Dirk Seiffarth, Marcin Dropiński, Francisco Javier Prieto Fidalgo, Alp Ersan, Julia Madeleine Rohracher, Marie-Christine Hoffelner, Sabine E-Z, Philipp Meinert, Sebastian Frank, Caroline Janson, Lena Wroblewska for making this day a memorable and productive one. 🤝 Let's see you next year Gerome Y., Marianna Bachanek 🙌🏼 #eCommerce #Networking #Innovation #Teamwork #BerlinExpo

If someone were to ask us, “So, how did CERSAIE go?” What should we say? Perhaps with a bit of bravado, we’d say it went well. It’s almost obligatory, after all — with nearly 100,000 visitors, would we ever dare say we didn’t find anything good? Of course not, especially considering the amount of time, resources, and financial effort our partners put into setting up their booths and all the extra events outside the fair. So yes, it went well, actually very well! But in reality, we measure it after some time, sometimes even after a few years. For example, a visitor who carefully studied a machine might come back later asking for feedback and then disappear. One day, maybe even a long time later, they come back and say, “I’m ready to proceed.” For us, the fair is successful regardless, as it remains a unique opportunity to meet and showcase many solutions that we wouldn’t have the chance to present during regular client visits, or to receive visits from potential clients who would otherwise be difficult to contact! And yes, it’s true, besides our partners’ booths, there’s also plenty of competition at the fair — but that’s another story.

Triangle Tyre will exhibit at The Tire Cologne with a 150sqm booth designed to highlight its role in the European tyre market. The prominent stand (see picture) will also feature a 12sqm LED wall to enhance the manufacturer’s impact on the global tyre fair, helping it to stand out amongst the 273 confirmed exhibitor stands confirmed for the event at time of writing. Triangle Tyre is a mainstay of the largest European fair, exhibiting at every event since The Tire Cologne replaced Messe Essen’s biannual Reifen event. Triangle revealed that its booth will showcase brand-new products across the PCR, TBR, and OTR segments, demonstrating Triangle's focus on delivering top-class solutions across all segments. The design of the booth builds on that employed by Triangle at The Tire Cologne 2022. Triangle said the previous booth had drawn “many positive comments from the industry professionals, especially Triangle customers.” As part of its engagement with customers, Triangle Tyre will host an exclusive gala dinner at the prestigious Park-Café in Cologne, offering a unique networking opportunity in a picturesque setting along the Rhine River. The Triangle brand was relaunched in Europe with the opening of its regional headquarters in Italy in 2017. The brand assembled a team of experienced tyre professionals, tasked with increasing volumes distributed across all countries in the continent and strong long-term partnerships with key importers and distributors who are opinion leaders in their respective national markets. Triangle has also upgraded the quality of its product ranges in each segment in recent years. It targets “best-in-class from a price positioning-quality ratio perspective” across segments, while its OTR range is well-established around the world through original equipment supply deals in many markets with leading machinery brands.

HANNOVER MESSE is under 200 days away 🤩. The ISED HM25 team has been on 🔥this week as we continue to accelerate preparations with our partners. Here are 3 things we are telling our team consistently: 1️⃣ “I trust you to advance this work” 2️⃣ “What do you need me to do?” 3️⃣ “Let’s schedule time to talk this through” The reasons: ➡️ Trusting teams = high performance teams. Also when we have this many work streams going on we need people to feel empowered to demonstrate leadership at all levels. ➡️ Analysts and managers need to work to become independent as appropriate at their stage of career development. Asking “what do you need me to do” encourages us to lean in when they need help and BACK OFF when they are doing just fine. ➡️ Collaboration and connection lead to better results. (Although apparently we are too loud 😐 sometimes) 💥Shout out to Anthony (Tony) Hahn, MA, mMBA and Corinne Guenette who are on this journey with me.
