Essen 2012. When Essen Fair celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2013, the Gruga site will shine in new splendour. “Fair 2012” is the name of the vision. Currently four designs are undergoing a first assessment alongside a feasibility study. “We are very happy that the supervisory board is so open towards our modernisation plans,” says a happy Dr. Joachim Henneke, CEO of Essen Fair. “This would be the perfect start to the next trade fair century.” www.messe-essen.de
