Used Machines Retec, International Trade Fair for Used Technology, is announced for 2017

Retec positions itself as the successor of Usetec and from 2017 it is going to switch between the locations of Augsburg and Essen on a yearly basis. The organizers expect more than 300 exhibitors and 5,000 trade visitors from all over the world, as well as a great demand potential from the developing countries.

The well-known private fair organizer AFAG Messen und Ausstellungen GmbH, Nürnberg/Augsburg, and the trade fair consultant Hess GmbH, Weingarten, cooperate on the development and reorientation of the fair. AFAG has taken over the task of organizing, while the FDM, Association of Machine and Tool Trade, Bonn, assumes the functional operation and Hess GmbH is counsellor for the organizers.

Specialized support comes from the European Association of Machine Tool Merchants (EAMTM), Brussels. Additionally, numerous national associations and professional magazines have been attained worldwide as competent partners.

Simultaneous to Hannover Messe

Retec as a trade fair for used technology is moving closer to the important European markets of mechanical engineering and will be held simultaneously to the Hannover Messe (April 24-28 2017) on April 25-27 2017 at Messe Augsburg and in the following year at Messe Essen. From Augsburg it will be easy to reach out to Baden-Wuerttemberg and Bavaria, Switzerland, Northern Italy and Austria and their demand potential. At Essen especially North Rhine-Westphalia and the Benelux countries will be addressed.

Hess GmbH, founder and longstanding organizer of the trade fairs Resale and Usetec, functions as counsellor for AFAG – a private and well-established trade fair organizer, who is also operating internationally – with the optimal development of the trade fair for used machines and plants from every sector. Across sectors the multi-faceted used machine market gets the opportunity to answer to specific requirements very effectively and efficiently within a very short process of decision making.

Assiciations Appreciate the New Orientation

Functional operator of Retec is the Association of Machine and Tool Trade FDM, Bonn. Kurt Radermacher, CEO of FDM, particularly appreciates that the important fair-platform of the sector has again a perspective, and that Retec, the “World of Used Technology”, is presented annually either in Augsburg or Essen. He said, that in combination with the exceptionally successful international trade fair for grinding, GrindTec, the AFAG had already a great affinity to the sector.

The supporting associations, especially the Association of Machine and Tool Trade FDM as functional operator and the European Association of Machine Tool Merchants EAMTM, appreciated the new constellation with an independent trade fair organizer and interchanging locations very much, said Kurt Rademacher.
