Exhibitor's and visitor's quotes / Exhibitor Service / Home

Jens Fuhrmann, Management Assistant, DAN Produkte Pflegedokumentation GmbH, Siegen

“We are currently celebrating our company’s 25th anniversary and have exhibited at ALTENPFLEGE for almost as long. This is the undisputed leading exhibition for us and the annual gathering of the sector, because here you meet everyone – the care staff as well as the general managers. In short, the visitor structure is super and the topics at the congress are always up to the minute too. We presented our new outpatient software this year, which caused a tremendous rush to our stand. This led to many sales transactions even during the exhibition. So ALTENPFLEGE 2013 was a complete success.”

Astrid Pröpper, Care Manager/Quality Representative, AWO Seniorenzentrum Am Königsbornpark mbH, Waldbröl

“I am a quality representative in an old people’s home for severe cases. We would like to give the people who come to us a high quality of life to enable them to finally leave us in a calm and peaceful state of mind. So I was specifically interested in indoor and outdoor facilities at ALTENPFLEGE 2013. I liked the “Designing Open Areas” show best. I was able to try everything out myself and got many ideas for my work. I will also come to Nürnberg again for ALTENPFLEGE in 2015.”

Franz Melan, Commercial Director, PASSAUER WOLF Reha-Zentrum Nittenau GmbH, Nittenau

“I’ve worked in the care sector for 43 years, was director of various homes and have attended ALTENPFLEGE in Nürnberg since 2005. We are about to build a new old people's home, so I wanted to visit various companies. I have found them all here in one place – simply super and effective. The talks on future cooperation also went excellently, as decision-makers are always present on the stand. I would sum up my visit to the exhibition as a complete success.”

Kilian Dieckhoff, Managing Director, Dieckhoff Textilsysteme GmbH & Co. KG, Wuppertal

“There’s no question about it, ALTENPFLEGE is the top presentation platform for our company. Such high-quality visitors are not to be found at any other care exhibition. It is also interesting to see how the structure of visitors has changed in the course of time: We get to know new groups of customers every year, which is naturally good for our company. This time we presented our current textile systems. The innovative fabrics attracted great interest among the professional audience, so our stand was always well attended. What more could you wish for?”

Andrea Urban, Home Economics Manager, Bayerisches Rotes Kreuz, Munich

“This was my first time at ALTENPFLEGE and I’m delighted. I wanted to get detailed information on how home economics and care could be even better combined in future, and this was very easy for me here. I also found it super that so many wholesalers presented their range at ALTENPFLEGE. I got talking to some of them and will certainly benefit from these contacts in the future. I will naturally be here again in 2015.”

René Vogel, geriatric nurse and accountant, Vogel – Häusliche Krankenpflege & Seniorenbetreuung, Lützen

“I’m extremely satisfied with my first visit to ALTENPFLEGE. Here you find many exhibitors for every theme in the care sector and you can see innumerable exciting innovations that make our work as care staff easier. I’ve specifically collected information about new billing and administration programs from software suppliers and have obtained inspiration from the Journey into the Future. The special show aveneo also fascinated me. Visiting ALTENPFLEGE is now a must for me every year.”

Dieter Schwöbel, Market Manager Light and Health, Authorized Officer, TRILUX Vertrieb GmbH, Mannheim

“We are a family-run company with a 100-year tradition and a market leader in the field of lighting solutions. Light and health have played a major role in our company for about three years. Last year we exhibited on a small stand at ALTENPFLEGE for the first time. Our stand space this year is four times larger. Exhibiting was a great success for us! As far as the number of visitors is concerned, this exceeded our wildest expectations in Nürnberg. We have made many new contacts with general managers of old people’s homes just as much as with planners and architects. So we have already decided to be there again at the next exhibition!”

Matthias Ikas, Authorized Officer, GVS Großverbraucherspezialisten eG, Steinheim

“ALTENPFLEGE is essential for us. As a wholesaler of cleaning, hygiene and care products, there is no better platform for meeting our customers than this exhibition. This is also why we have already exhibited here for over 20 years. We provide information on our stand for visitors from homes for the elderly, welfare institutions and hospitals. From home management, ward management and skilled home economics staff to care trainees – everyone is welcome.”

Dirk Clausmeier, Sales Director Care, Völker GmbH, Witten

“We are very satisfied with exhibiting at ALTENPFLEGE 2013. We have achieved our aims of meeting customers and potential new customers at the exhibition. We even had 15 per cent more visitors on the first day of the exhibition. Many general managers, care managers, architects and planners came to our stand. We are also pleased about the visits from care trainees, as they are the managers of the future.”

Stefan Horcher, proprietor, and Wolfgang Mathis, Managing Director of HORCHER Medical Systems GmbH, Nidderau

“ALTENPFLEGE is our most important exhibition in Germany. This is why we have been there since 1990, a pioneering exhibitor as it were. As far as visitors are concerned, attendance was very strong on the second day of the exhibition. We also had visitors from Scandinavia, the USA and Lithuania on the stand. Especially our new patient lift, which we presented as a new product at the exhibition, attracted great interest.”

Henning Welker, Medical Product Adviser, hanse Medizintechnik Dipl. Ing. P. Hettmer GmbH, Ratekau

“Because our company headquarters is in North Germany, we particularly appreciate the location of the ALTENPFLEGE exhibition in Nürnberg. Here we can meet existing and new customers from South Germany. Our target group is the whole decision-making chain in the care sector. The number of visitors to our stand increases by about 10 per cent every year. Especially the decision-makers, i.e. from care, home economics and general management, make sure they don’t miss ALTENPFLEGE.”
