Kind + Jugend confirms excellence

Baby products show Kind + Jugend has confirmed its outstanding international position, with around 22,500 top quality visitors attending from 113 countries.

Exhibitor numbers were up 5% on 2016 and visitor numbers up by 2%, as buyers and decision-makers from all trade channels spent time at the international show, where more than 87% of the exhibitors and 75% of the visitors come from abroad.

“Kind + Jugend once again confirmed its outstanding international position and is the central hub and trendsetter for the national and international business,” stated Katharina C. Hamma, coo of Koelnmesse. “We were able to further reinforce our position as the leading trading platform with a slight growth in the number of exhibitors and visitors.”

This year, more than 70 companies participated in the UK Pavilion, which moved to a new location for this year. “It was noticeable that this [new] area was busier than other halls at the show – to the point that several companies in Halls 10 and 11 have enquired about relocating to the UK Pavilion next year,” said Robert Anslow, managing director of the BPA. “Early feedback from our exhibitors indicate that 2017 was another very successful show.”

Next year’s Kind + Jugend will be taking place from 20 – 23 September 2018.
