WITTMANN pleased with positive results

The Fakuma 2024 in Friedrichshafen was a success for the WITTMANN Group. The number of visitors was highly satisfactory, and the order volume placed at the fair was on a par with that or the Fakuma 2023.

With 5 injection molding machines, 8 robots and more than 65 auxiliary appliances exhibited, the WITTMANN Group was prominently present at the fair. The exhibits showed a representative cross-section of innovations and novelties from the company’s entire range of products and services, all arranged along a path of performance and efficiency. With orders received across all of its product segments, WITTMANN can look back on a successful Fakuma. In the injection molding machine sector, for example, even an EcoPower B8X DC model designed to operate in a direct current network was sold to a customer in Brazil. Moreover, numerous projects were discussed at the fair as well. The majority of visitors came from the German-speaking area (Germany / Austria / Switzerland).

The Career Friday, organized at the Fakuma for the first time and actively supported by the WITTMANN Group, was also very positive. WITTMANN was able to recruit several hundred high school students from Western Austria to take part in this event and brought them to Friedrichshafen in specially chartered buses. The high school students who visited the WITTMANN booth showed very lively interest in the exhibits and were impressed by the opportunities available in the industry to junior staff.

Michael Wittmann, owner and president of the WITTMANN Group, is pleased with the positive outcome of the fair: “The Fakuma 2024 has significantly exceeded our expectations. The visitor frequency was good, the Career Friday was a positive experience and, of course, we are also glad about the order intake. Even though this cannot yet be seen as the sign of a turnaround, we can still say that some positive signals have come from the fair.”
