The first confirmations for LivingKitchen 2017 have already arrived

Just four months after the successful LivingKitchen 2015, the international kitchen event has already scored a first success for the edition in 2017: Industry giants such as nobilia, Schüller, the BSH Group, Miele, zeyko, Allmilmö and Blanco have confirmed their attendance. Many exhibitors assured us of their renewed participation straight after the trade fair in January. However, the fact that we have already received the first concrete conformations at such an early stage is an important, great signal for the coming international kitchen event, said Arne Petersen, Vice President Trade Fair Management, with satisfaction. This shows us that the trade fair has developed into a very important platform for both the domestic and the international market.

Kirk Mangels, Chief Executive of the Modern Kitchen Working Group e.V. (AMK) came to a similar conclusion: Together with its more than 135 member companies, AMK fully supports LivingKitchen in Cologne. We are thus delighted that so many companies from the industry have already decided to participate at LivingKitchen 2017 again. We are convinced that the world@¬#s strongest kitchen industry needs a leading global trade fair in Germany. The concept comprising of Koelnmesse as the organiser and the combination between LivingKitchen and imm cologne has not only proved effective since 2011, the success has improved from event to event. Once again in 2015, the event underlined the fact that we are on the right track to achieve the ambitious targets. AMK will also be present in Cologne in 2017.

With its wide range of national and international companies, LivingKitchen is a perfect business and presentation platform for kitchen furniture, appliances and accessories. The trade fair doesn@¬#t just place the emphasis on a pure product show, it also particularly impresses through its many events. On the Public Days, the trade visitors can inform themselves about the trends and developments of the industry and the latest appliance trends in the scope of cooking shows by famous chefs. At the weekend, further cooking shows featuring celebrity chefs and TV stars attract the consumers to the trade fair. The special concept works and above all creates the desire for a new kitchen.

In January 2015, almost 102,000 trade visitors, 45% of whom came from abroad, and over 44,000 consumers were inspired by the new products and world premieres at LivingKitchen and imm cologne. As such, the international kitchen event offers buying cooperations, as well as individual kitchen dealers and of course also the consumers, a comprehensive and compact overview, which can@¬#t be found at any other location in this depth and magnitude.
