NürnbergMesse growing to new trunover dimension

The NürnbergMesse has recorded a significant increase in turnover and profits at the end of 2010: “Compared to the more comparable year 2008 our turnover has increased by 30 percent to over 200 million Euros, the profit has exploded and is also at record levels with more than seven million Euros”, says Bernd A. Diederichs, Managing Director of NürnbergMesse. Therfore the NürnbergMesse has exceeded its own forecasts from the summer of this year significantly.
 
Since 1997, the NürnbergMesse’s turnover has increased five-fold and is now more than 200 million € for the first time. The company is thus the fastest growing exhibition company in Europe.

NürnbergMesse has invested over 150 million Euros in the site and its products in the last five years. Of this, 47 million were invested in the complete redevelopment of the area “Mitte”. For the period 2011 to 2015 the planned investment volume will be newly prioritized. “We are not planning on building any new halls. Therefore, we will work hard on reducing the investment deficit in the existing halls and optimize our logistics so that our rate of hall turnover will rise to 15 and more. We will also continue to buy trade fairs and organizers. These investments are not predictable, neither by time frame nor by the absolute amount”says Diederichs.
