At Bauwerk Group, we believe that success is only possible through change. That's why, after a four-year break, we are returning to the international trade show stage at BAU 2023, and we couldn't be more excited. Our 420-square-metre joint exhibition space will not only showcase product innovations from our two renowned brands, Bauwerk Parkett and BOEN, but also our commitment to sustainability and innovation.
Over the past few years, we have successfully implemented significant changes that have made us faster, more agile, and broadened our representation, with the addition of Somerset Hardwood Flooring to our portfolio in 2022. We want to share these achievements with our current and potential clients and use this opportunity to listen closely to their needs and preferences. Communication with our clients is always a two-way street, and we are looking forward to gaining new motivation and inspiration from their feedback.
Our focus at the exhibition will be on showcasing the variety that our large product portfolio brings. With three powerful brands, we can now meet our clients' unique expectations, taking into account personal preferences and regional aspects. BAU 2023 will be the perfect platform for us to demonstrate new formats, creative laying patterns, colours, gradings, and surface treatments.
We have always been committed to innovation and being an industry leader, and our investment in our research and development department has paid off. Our highly specialized and experienced staff, ongoing collaboration with universities and institutes, and outsourced design specialists have made us an innovation leader on the market. In particular, we have catered to the herringbone revival, with an extensive presentation of it at the fair. We believe that investing in innovations is even more crucial in these challenging times, and it applies especially to our demanding customers.
At Bauwerk Group, we are excited to showcase our success through change, innovation, and sustainability at BAU 2023. We are committed to providing our clients with the best possible solutions, and we are looking forward to forging new partnerships and strengthening existing ones.
