KBA’s drupa Halftime Result Exceeds Expectations

Bolza-Schünemann described the total value of the orders placed in Düsseldorf as highly satisfactory, but was unwilling to give specific figures because in many cases the financing has not been finalized, particularly where leasing agreements are being negotiated.

“We have signed contracts with several existing and a lot of new customers. But it will be weeks, or even months, before all the financing has been clarified, customer prepayments have been received and we and other exhibitors can assess our true performance at drupa 2012. Looking at the many projects initiated at the fair, we anticipate some brisk post-drupa business,” he commented.
