Although the mood in companies has improved somewhat according to the IFO business climate index in July, there is still great uncertainty regarding expectations. This is reflected not only in very cautious investment activity but also in trade fair participation.
It was an innovative trade fair concept that was supposed to launch Parts Finishing 2025: presenting three themes over two days under one roof. 'Actually, we received very positive feedback on this idea from the beginning and had a promising number of registrations until about six weeks ago,' reports Nicolas Herdin, managing director of the private trade fair organizer fairXperts GmbH & Co. KG. 'However, various companies have since canceled their registrations.' The reasons vary. Budget constraints were mentioned as well as the uncertain economic situation or difficulties in assessing the company's business development. This situation has now led the trade fair organizer to reluctantly cancel the event planned for November 12 and 13, 2025, at the Karlsruhe exhibition grounds. 'For us, this is the better alternative despite financial losses than holding an event where both exhibitors and visitors end up dissatisfied,' adds Nicolas Herdin.
The management will now discuss the further development of Parts Finishing together with the exhibitor advisory board and consider a new date for the trade fair.
