The organisers of the inaugural Jewellery & Gem Fair Europe, UBM Asia, have hailed “positive results” as the show came to an end.
UBM Asia said in a statement that more than 6,000 jewellery professionals attended the launch event, which brought together suppliers, press, leading industry and governmental associations. Of this number, it says 4,280 were leading trade buyers.
The leading visiting countries were Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and Brazil.
Wolfram Diener, senior vice president of UBM Asia, said: “The vast majority of our exhibitors and traders view the exhibition as a success.
“We are very pleased with the positive feedback from the market and see this as a confirmation that the Jewellery & Gem Fair Europe is now listed as an important industry event in the jewellery calendar. At the same time, of course, we are inspired to organise an even higher quality show for 2015.”
UBM’s statement added: “A specifically favourable measurement of the positive acknowledgement of the fair is the advanced bookings from the exhibitors. The demand is so great that the Jewellery & Gem Fair Europe 2015 will expand into an additional hall at Messe Freiburg.”
The next Jewellery & Gem Fair Europe will be held from Sunday 22 March to Wednesday 25 March 2015. The show will begin on a Sunday, to allow smaller regional jewellery businesses to attend more easily.
