Final Report Aqua-therm Nitra 2003
The fifth year of the Aqua-therm Nitra international trade fair, which was held at the Agrokomplex fairgrounds from 11th - 14th February, confirmed the trend which began two years ago.
The trade fair has become a national event with merchandisers and specialists coming from all over Slovakia.
In particular, they appreciate the fact that in Nitra they will find the best and the most progressive that can currently be shown in the field of technical equipment for buildings.
Almost every fifth visitor came to the trade fair more than once which reflects the intensive discussions that were being held with exhibitors. As is traditional, Aqua-therm was accompanied by a specialist program on current problems which was organised by the sponsors of the trade fair.
In 2003 the trade fair focussed primarily on heating and related problems. Next year, though, the fair will be expanded with exhibitors from the field of ventilation and air-conditioning. The trade fair will, therefore, be taking a further step to completely covering this field, which is taking on ever greater importance in the light of the Slovak Republic's future membership of the European Union.
