the banner of ‘Britain Means Business’, which

FIT SHOW’S FENSTERBAU DEBUT
The UK’s key exhibition for the fenestration
industry, the Fabricator Installer Trade (FIT)
Show is exhibiting at Fensterbau for the first
time this March in a bid to attract visitors to
the 2016 and 2017 events. The organisation
is also looking to propose the exhibition
as a gateway to the UK window, door,
conservatory and glazing markets.
Historically, the UK has heavily influenced
building styles in many overseas markets and
the desire to reach out through Fensterbau to
demonstrate that a powerful specific showcase
exists for the UK fenestration market, is one
which cannot be missed.
Overseas visitors seeking British sourced and
influenced windows, doors and components
can find hundreds of suppliers all under
the same roof, at the same time, making a
buying mission highly effective for overseas
specifiers.
