Celebrating a stand with a view

Harry Prunk, chairman of Sikora, was delighted with the success of the company’s 192m 2 two-storey stand at wire 2008. Stand visitor numbers increased by 45% compared to wire 2006. The ground floor formed the exhibition area, where all measuring and control systems were exhibited, while the modern lounge-styled second floor created a pleasant atmosphere for meeting and discussion. “The second floor was enthusiastically received by customers. From this outstanding position you could easily watch the fair,” Mr Prunk explained. New developments in the spotlight at Düsseldorf included the Centerview 8000 for an 8-point-eccentricity-, 4-point-diameter and 8-point-ovality measurement, and the X-Ray 8000 NXT for the application in CV-lines. The highest achievers at the show included the diameter measuring devices of the Laser 2000 series, and the new display and control system, Ecocontrol 600 that clearly presents
