“I am delighted that we were able to inspire even more trade fair visitors with PARTS & SERVICE WORLD this year,” says Hans-Peter Fricke, Managing Director and owner of the FRICKE Group. “I would like to thank all our suppliers and exhibitors who made a significant contribution to the success of the trade fair with their high-quality and innovative products. Thanks to their innovative strength and commitment, we were not only able to present the latest developments and solutions to trade visitors from the spare parts and service sector, but also offer them a platform for exchange and cooperation.”
The latest technology in live use
With the live workshop, PARTS & SERVICE WORLD once again offered an attractive point of contact for the latest technology and workshop equipment. On 3,000 square meters, the experts for workshop equipment from GRANIT PARTS, together with suppliers and partners such as HAWEKA, Cojali S.L., WAECO, TRASER, TEXA, TIP TOP, GYS and KS Tools, provided exciting insights into the modern and networked workshop. Digital solutions for the shortage of skilled workers, such as augmented reality and the Rep.Guide multi-brand database from FRICKE, enjoyed great popularity during all three days of the trade fair. This year’s live workshop also focused on offers for making work easier and increasing efficiency in the workshop.
PSW Academy – around 700 participants took advantage of the training program
The extensive range of seminars, workshops and presentations at the PSW Academy also provided trade visitors with real added value. External speakers and experts from GRANIT PARTS imparted know-how on current topics and challenges in the industry, such as high-voltage in agricultural and construction machinery technology, new features in digital fault diagnostics and topics relating to successful operational management. In total, around 700 participants took the opportunity to expand their know-how and take the next step in their personal and operational development. The most popular seminars were “Motivated employees at last”, “Workshop organization – not a problem!” and “Rapid fault diagnosis – modern measurement methods in agricultural engineering”.
