Karlsruhe/Germany (Hess GmbH) – In its 15th year, Resale, trade fair for used machinery and equipment (22 to 24 April 2009), appears with improved service offerings for both visitors and exhibitors. Ukrainian is the latest addition to the broad spectrum of languages available for visitor communication. “We have several good partners representing Resale in this important market, we hope to reach a wider audience of machine buyers with the Ukrainian version of our print and online information material” says Florian Hess, the organiser of Resale.
There is good news again from the world's largest trade fair for used machinery and equipment is bucking the trend of the looming recession. More exhibitors have registered for the 15th Resale than had registered at the same time last year. Again, more than 500 exhibitors and over 10,000 visitors are expected to attend. “There is a good chance that the next Resale will be one of those to benefit from the crisis in the financial markets,” emphasises Jens Nagel, Managing Director of the Federation of the German Export Trade (BDEx) in Berlin. “Cheaper investment alternatives will become even more important against the background of global economic weakness.” He adds that new investments are scrutinised very closely in uncertain times and that used machines from Germany have proven to be extremely welcome during these phases.
Moreover, BDEx sees the environmental aspects taking on ever greater importance. This will be reflected in a growing number of companies searching for energy-efficient used machines with a high degree of environmental sustainability. In terms of regional demand, Jens Nagel expects high demand from Eastern Europe – and from beyond the Urals. “Russia, Central Asia and the newer EU accession countries Romania and Bulgaria will also be among the regions where demand is strong,” he forecasts. Outside Europe, BDEx sees demand primarily in India and South-East Asia. In recent years, Resale has taken great strides in developing its status as the national and international focal point for the used machinery sector. “Top quality goes hand in hand with good prices,” says Nagel.
Demand for used machine tools was extraordinarily good both domestically and internationally over the past two years reports the Association of German Wholesale Dealers in Machinery and Tools (FDM) in Bonn. “Our member companies really were working flat out,” explains Kurt Radermacher, Managing Director of the FDM. “In the face of such a large number of enquiries, they even had problems acquiring sufficient numbers of good machines.” However, in recent months the situation, particularly in the domestic market, has cooled off. Nevertheless, there is still an enormous need for new and used machine tools. “So the priority remains the same – actively finding buyers especially those from abroad,” says Radermacher setting out the challenge. The upcoming Resale 2009 is the perfect opportunity. “The FDM and its member companies will again be fully represented at the event,” concludes the association's Managing Director. “We are pulling out all the stops to ensure that we can exhibit an even wider range of machines at Resale – especially in the areas of plastics processing and wood working machinery.”
