Its main activities consist of
organizing trade fairs and exhibitions, providing full packages of related services,
conventions of all types, business and private tourism.
Also it is the most acknowledged organizer of the Romanian participations in the
international exhibition events held abroad.
ROMEXPO S.A. is a
founding member of the Association of the Romanian Fair and Exhibition Organizers
– ASOEXPO.
It has its own
fairgrounds, called ROMEXPO Exhibitions Centre – Bucharest International Fair which
stands as a multifunctional complex with a total display area of over 100,000
sqm out of which 55,000 sqm indoors and over 45,000 sqm outdoors.
The ROMEXPO
fairgrounds also include large parking lots for over 2,200 cars.
It is worth
mentioning that even since its coming into being, on December 2nd 1991 (as a successor to
the former Enterprise for Fairs and Exhibitions) the strategic development of ROMEXPO S.A.
has been concentrated on three major directions : modernization, diversification and
specialization, all under the aim of striving for quality services and exhibitors’
satisfaction.
The
Trade Shows
In accordance with
the company’s experience of over 35 years as well as with the tendencies in the fair
industry worldwide, ROMEXPO S.A. has given great heed, ever since 1991, to the
organization of specialized exhibitions that offer the participants better business
opportunities than the general fairs where image-building prevails.
The number of
specialized events has considerably increased with every passing year as new fields of
activity showing a real potential were identified.
From only 4
exhibitions in 1991, ROMEXPO’s present annual program comprises more than 40
specialized fairs, exhibitions and trade shows including also the two traditional general
fairs, TIB and TIBCO. All of them take place at the ROMEXPO Exhibitions Centre –
Bucharest International Fair in Bucharest.
At present, these
trade fairs and exhibitions are covering a wide range of topics from all economic sectors
: constructions & installations, machinery, equipment & technologies for various
industrial branches, IT, capital & consumer goods, agriculture, animal husbandry
& food industry, medicine & pharmacy, environment protection, furniture, printing
industry, advertising, packaging, tourism, hotels & restaurants, textiles &
ready-made clothes, cosmetics, gifts & souvenirs, books, military equipment a.s.o.
ROMEXPO S.A. is
also a coorganizer of several national trade events staged in major cities in Romania.
Surveys conducted among the exhibitors at the international trade fairs and exhibitions
organized by ROMEXPO in 2005 revealed that over 78% of respondents were satisfied with
new business contacts made during the fairs, over 71% achieved their objectives and
78% of exhibitors expressed their intention to keep on participating in the next editions
of ROMEXPO exhibition events.
Mostly derived from
the general fairs TIB and TIBCO, the specialized exhibitions have grown in size and
participation, such as CONSTRUCT EXPO – now one of the major international building
exhibitions in SE Europe, BIFE-TIMB – an outstanding exhibition event for the
furniture and wood working industry, INDAGRA, EXPO DRINK and ALL PACK dealing with
agriculture, animal husbandry and food industry, beverages and packaging and let’s
not forget the tourism field with two colourful events, TNT - The National
Tourism Fair and ITF – The International Tourism Fair.
Due to the actual
extent reached by CONSTRUCT EXPO, this major trade event will be organized,
starting with 2006, in two separate editions: CONSTRUCT EXPO – ANTREPRENOR and
CONSTRUCT EXPO – AMBIENT.
Other specialized
exhibitions with a strong developing trend are ROMTHERM (heating and cooling equipment)
and ROMHOTEL (related to the hospitality industry).
In 2005 ROMEXPO
international fairs and exhibitions brought together 7,178 exhibitors ( 5,070 from
Romania and 2,108 foreign companies from 57 countries) on a total area exceeding 350,000
sqm. These figures place ROMEXPO S.A. among the medium-sized organizers of trade
exhibition events in Europe.
