Dear reader,
Wow, what a week in Nuremberg that was! The European Coatings SHOW 2015 exceeded all expectations! My feet and my voice were happy to be used very little directly afterwards. But what a hustle and bustle at the ECS: even more exhibitors, even more visitors than ever before! I have to admit that this positive mood lets me do my further tasks more elatedly – I hope you feel the same! Enjoy!
