This week, the 12th – 15th of November see’s Europe’s largest medical trade exhibition, Medica which is held in Dusseldorf every Autumn. Almost 5,800 exhibiting companies from around the world display innovative products from the whole spectrum of the medical world.
AWB Textiles Sales Manager Steve Salt and Director Ross Cook travelled to Germany to check out the latest trends and fashions in medical clothing and enjoyed an excellent meeting with our friends Strategic Partners Inc. from California in The USA, who supply us with our ranges from Dickies and Cherokee.
The images below show Ross outside the Dusseldorf Messe waiting for opening time in the beautiful Autumn sunshine. The lovely city of Dusseldorf on the banks of the Rhine with the tallest building in the city, the Rheinturm in the distance and finally a group shot of Steve and Ross (centre) with Jay Yard (left) and Joe Schlesinger (right) from Strategic Partners Inc. on our exhibition stand after the meeting.
