Trade Fairs – Markets
Trade Fair Partner: Profi-Tess
Collaboration in partnership
Without hostesses, events and congresses would not be possible.
At Messe Stuttgart, Profi-Tess provides a professional service.
Customer service: Employees from
Profi-Tess at the trade fair counter.
Appropriate behaviour, a good knowledge of languages, a quick grasp of things
and a pleasant appearance: the demands made on trade fair hostesses are high.
And for good reason too: these hostesses, in addition to the trade fair employees
and those of the exhibitors, represent the “face” of the company for visitors.
Messe Stuttgart has relied on the services of the Profi-Tess agency in Stuttgart-Feuerbach
since 2004. “We have had a collaborative partnership with Messe
Stuttgart since 1996,” says Profi-Tess Managing Director Udo Kümmerle. “Since
2004, we have been providing hostesses for the trade fairs. In 2005, Profi-Tess
became a contractual partner of Messe Stuttgart and has since also looked after
the exhibitors.” The company was founded in 1986 as a traditional hostess service
and was, at that time, one of the first service providers for this industry in
Stuttgart and Baden-Württemberg. In 1999, the founder of the company sold it
to owner-operated T.I.M.E. Veranstaltungsservice GmbH. This event management
company kept Profi-Tess as an independent brand, further expanding it to
become a complete personnel service provider that not only places trade fair,
service, VIP, press and chief hostesses, but also moderators, cloakroom personnel,
assembly assistants and many more. Profi-Tess has ten permanent employees
and a pool of 5,000 trade fair hostesses in the region of Stuttgart alone.
Company Portrait: Festool Group GmbH & Co. KG
Electric tools made in Germany
The Festool Group attaches the greatest importance to Germany
as a location. And the success achieved here has proven it right.
With electric tools made in Germany,
Festool is leaving low-price competitors
in the shade.
Festool manufactures its high-quality
products in Neidlingen.
Do-it-yourself instead of buying everything in: What may first appear outdated in
these times of globally extended workbenches, is one of the main recipes for
success from the Festool Group GmbH & Co. KG in Wendlingen. The producer of
high-quality electric tools thus still manufactures its tools and most important components
in Neidlingen, around 20 kilometres from the headquarters in Wendlingen.
Despite cheap competition from abroad, tools are produced here for all
trade applications – from cordless screwdrivers to circular hand saws, from mills
and grinders to polishers, as well as numerous other electric and pneumatic tools.
“Our name has always been synonymous with quality, precision and innovation,”
says Managing Director Christian Oltzscher, explaining the company philosophy
of the Swabian medium-sized enterprise. The fact that tradesmen have always
played a part in the development process is also a long-standing tradition at
Festool: “This is the only way to produce tailor-made tools used by professionals,
tools that make their work easier, quicker, more effective and ergonomic,”
explains the company head, speaking from experience.
In addition to the high-quality products, the Wendlingen company also
provides its customers with a comprehensive service. There is a three year
guarantee on all products, which includes any repair costs and the exchange
of selected wear parts.
