Although Brondum, based in Silkeborg, has beenmaking industrial vacuum cleaners since 1964, its operationswere confined to Scandinavia. Now the manufacturer is tryingto reach customers in the wider Europe by making regularappearances at various exhibitions, primarily in Germany.“Don’t stop me now”The show’s closing chords were those of the pop group Queen.Exhibitors and guests were dancing away on the dance floorto the songs from the band’s catalogue played competentlyby the Queen Revival Band. Almost as soon as the show wasover, it was unanimously agreed that it should be repeated.Participants’ opinions were divided 50/50 though on whetherit should be an annual or triennial event. What is absolutelyclear now is that there will be no BeBoSa in the same year asBauma. It may prove a wise decision, since the world’s biggestexhibition tends to overshadow its smaller local counterparts.Having the next BeBoSa in a place a bit more accessible thanWillingen may be another good idea. As the show’s potentialclearly transcends the boundaries of Germany, internationalvisitors will surely appreciate a more metropolitan location.www.bebosa.comThe Queen Revival Band.Darda with Brokk robots.74 PDi • Issue 2 • May - June 2011
