News from Tinby
Meet us at this year's trade fairs (incl. a brief guide to the trade fairs)
06. March 20192019 is going to be an exciting year for trade fairs as far as Tinby is concerned - one in which we hope to meet not only many of our current clients, but also a lot of potential new customers from around the world. Perhaps that includes you? We are only exhibiting at one trade fair this year, but in addition to that, our sales team will be visiting a number of other trade fairs to keep up-to-date on new trends, make new contacts, and follow up on interesting leads. These will mainly be the key trade shows in the fields of furniture design, composite and insulation,and the wind turbine industry. Our Sales Engineer, Michael Lind, has already been to Sweden where he visited the Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair in early February - and our sales team are heading to Paris from 12-14 March to participate in the JEC World Composite Show 2019.
In 2019, Tinby will attend the following trade shows - we hope to see you there!
Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair, 5-9 February 2019 (attendees) | Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair kicked off at the beginning of February this year and was attended by more than 40,000 visitors. With approximately 700 exhibitors spread over 40,000 sq. m., it is clear that interest in Scandinavian design is growing and, above all, is spreading out beyond Europe's borders to countries such as the USA, China and Japan. There is no doubt that Danish design has an important role to play on the Scandinavian design scene, where Tinby, as a major player, is committed to making a significant contribution to the design and manufacture of our clients' many exciting ranges of furniture.
ISH Insulation, Frankfurt, 11–15 March 2019 (attendees) | The ISH insulation trade fair in Frankfurt is the world's leading trade fair for building installations, energy, air-conditioning technology and renewable energy, among other things – and the organisers expect to host around 2,500 exhibitors and approximately 200,000 visitors. This trade fair is also the world's largest exhibition for solutions that combine water and energy. This fair is particularly interesting for Tinby as we produce a number of products using future-oriented insulation solutions for the construction industry.
JEC World Composite Show, Paris 12–14 March 2019 (attendees) | JEC World in Paris is the world's largest composite trade show. With over 1,300 exhibitors from 150 different countries and more than 43,000 visitors, this trade show is particularly relevant for Tinby, as the trade show focusses on composite solutions within the wind turbine sector among others, which is one of Tinby's main areas of expertise.

Major players, such as Vestas, Siemens and Ørsted (formerly Dong Energy), will all be attending. With more than 650 exhibitors and around 18,000 visitors, this is one of the world's leading trade fairs within the wind energy sector, which is why it is also of interest to Tinby, who produce articles and related products for the wind turbine industry.
Kind + Jugend Cologne, 18–21 September 2019 (attendees) | Kind + Jugend is the leading international trade fair for products aimed at the “next generation”, and is held annually in Cologne.

More than 1,200 companies from 49 countries exhibit at the Kind + Jugend trade show – and everyone is interested in making the most of this opportunity to showcase their products and services and demonstrate their expertise to the approximately 24,000 visitors who attend from all over the world.
K Düsseldorf, 19-26 October 2019 (attendees) | Naturally, Tinby will also be at the world's largest plastics show –- K Düsseldorf – that runs 19-26 October in Düsseldorf.
