Barcelona . Cologne . New Orleans

SPECK Pumpen used the international autumn fairs to maintain and develop contacts. A current and authentic overview of the swimming pool market was captured. As well, of course, as the feedback for the new products. The interest in the new BADUJET Turbo Pro was overwhelming. Three extreme swimmers fought against it in Cologne and impressively demonstrated the performance of the new counter swim unit.

 

Piscina & Wellness Barcelona . 15–18 October 2019

On the first two days, many existing customers as well as new prospective customers were welcomed at the SPECK Pumpen stand. The quality and quantity of visitors was extremely high. The international share was 4 % higher than in 2017 according to the trade fair organisers.

In the afternoon of the third day it became increasingly noticeable that many people had left the city. The protests by Catalan separatists were joined by a general strike. The roads out of the city as well as the motorway to the airport were blocked. After dark, the SPECK trade fair team witnessed from the hotel in the city centre how peaceful protests turned into violent clashes, street barricades went up in flames and shops were devastated.

Thus, the expectations of the trade fair in Barcelona were not completely fulfilled. However, there was a consistently good mood within the industry. Some look at the economy and the labour market with a clouded view, but the order books are full. “Even though dissatisfaction is increasing in Germany, we really can and must be satisfied in our country”, was how Managing Director Armin Herger summed up his personal experiences in view of the local situation.

 

aquanale Cologne . 5-8 November 2019

The aquanale in Cologne was the highlight of the swimming pool industry for 28,000 visitors from 128 countries, as well as for SPECK Pumpen themselves. Even before the official start of the trade fair, we welcomed the participants of the PoolPlenum to our stand for a pre-opening and exchanged information and experiences in a relaxed atmosphere.

SPECK Pumpen was represented with two stands and was pleased by a really good response from the first to the last minute. Many international customers and interested parties became aware of our new products and received extensive advise. The focus was on the new BADUJET Turbo Pro, against which three professionals competed. Extreme swimmer Mirjam Schall, multiple world record holder Stefan Göritzer and Christof Wandratsch, the fastest German to swim through the English Channel, impressively demonstrated the power of the new counter swim unit in a specially built pool. A real eye-catcher that even the television reporters could not resist.

The noticeably positive mood at the aquanale gives reason to hope for a good 2020 season. The SPECK trade fair team was also more than satisfied with the share of foreign visitors, which rose to 67 %.

For SPECK Pumpen the highlight of the event was the legendary trade fair party. With cocktails and samba rhythms, we did our best to get our guests in the right mood for the new season and to stay in their minds for a long time. We celebrated until late into the night…

 

International Pool Spa Patio Expo New Orleans . 11–13 November 2019

SPECK Pumps USA presented its new products for the US swimming pool market. Among them were some SwimJet System innovations such as LED touch keys, a digital circuit board with integrated WIFI and the new BADU Concept App. The latter could be extensively tested by visitors at three workstations. However, the latest pump technologies for the public swimming pool market also generated a lot of interest: BADU Block Multi with variable speed drive, Normblock Multi, BADU Pro and BADU Powerstar.

SPECK Pumpen at the trade fairs

Autumn in Stuttgart, Las Vegas and Lyon

The autumn trade fairs were a huge success for SPECK Pumpen. The good atmosphere and positive expectations for the coming season were clearly felt on a national, European and international level.

The 25-man team was blown away by the visitor turnout at the interbad in Stuttgart. The share of international guests from all four corners of the world was surprisingly high for a German trade fair. Many conversations regarding new products and product developments were held over Flammkuchen (Tarte flambée) and Franconian beer.

A variety of new products for the US swimming pool market were presented at the International Pool | Spa | Patio Expo in Las Vegas. As well as the innovations, the quality and service from SPECK Pumpen were the focus for prospective customers. The event was rounded off with a lively trip to the German Hofbräuhaus with customers, friends and staff.

The Piscine Global Europe in Lyon was a fantastic conclusion of the trade fair season. The unwavering high visitor turnout started on day one and impressed and motivated the whole SPECK Pumpen trade fair team. Prospective customers from Japan, Thailand, Israel, Jordan, the Seychelles, the UAE and the Eastern Block as well as Europe left a more than promising impression. SPECK Pumpen is now ready to start the new year full of energy!
