Successful perspectives for EGGER
Visitors flocked to EGGER's "Perspectives" stand at the BAU 2015.
A record 251,000 industry visitors from around the globe came to Munich for the
world-leading trade fair in architecture, materials and systems, with many making
their way to the EGGER booth in Hall B5. It was here that visitors discovered new
perspectives, together with the product innovations from the Flooring, Furniture,
Interior Design and Wood Construction divisions.
On show for the first time was the new flooring collection "EGGER Laminate Flooring
2015-2017". No fewer than 70 decors, eight surfaces and five formats were presented,
adapted to the design styles and needs of customers in different sales regions. In total,
the collection includes approximately 300 articles, being the most diverse and individual
laminate flooring collection in Europe. However, visitors to the testing stations in the
EGGER booth were able to directly realize that the new floors have more than just their
look and feel to speak for them: with the aqua+ technology, EGGER is offering for the first
time moisture resistant floors that can be used for example in bathrooms or kitchens, as
well as on commercial surfaces. The new UNIfit! installation system makes it possible to
install the floors up to 40% faster, making the work easier.
Advancing the look and feel
Innovations in the ZOOM retail collection for the Furniture and Interior Design division
were also featured. With the seven new surfaces, based on highly modern technology,
EGGER provides its customers with new possibilities. Through their senses, visitors were
able to experience the ZOOM innovations via an arcaded passage. The highlight of this
was the Feelwood synchronised pore surfaces, now available in a completely coordinated
material set. From now on, they are available on Eurodekor chipboards, laminates, thin
chipboards for the top layers of doors and compact laminates. In addition, the range of
edging was expanded to include a new ABS safety edge with an end grain design
featuring the look of solid wood cut to size. This completes the trusted EGGER decor and
material set and guarantees high levels of creative freedom.

Focus on technique, design and service
EGGER building materials, OSB, DHS and timber were also presented at the BAU - as
build materials of the actual trade fair booth and at the consultation tables. Visitors were
able to gain information about the OSB 4 TOP board. This included its strong and high
load bearing characteristics, its suitability for use in timber engineering and wood frame
construction and its tongue and groove profile, which provides quick installation.
With a combination of exceptional design and technical innovations, EGGER highlighted
its future perspectives at the BAU 2015. This included its strong customer service,
demonstrated by the VDS visualisation software stations in the professional and the
mobile version. The free app with more than 10,000 downloads and revised design
makes it possible for fabricators to have the entire decor collection available when
advising customers on the decor combinations and visualisations of their space.
The EGGER Professional Programme, a partner programme for carpenters, wood
constructors, floor installers and joiners, also experienced a significant influx at the BAU.
Since its launch in July 2014, 2,000 participants have already signed up for the
programme, taking advantage of the comprehensive services on offer.
The eye-catching design of the trade booth
The innovative design of the EGGER booth framed the entire in-house range of woodbased materials and timber. Visitors were able to receive an entirely new view of the
products, their innovative technical properties and perspectives on EGGER's product
design and development. The open and inviting booth design reflected EGGER's
approach as a modern, international and approachable family business. The
overwhelming number of visitors and positive feedback from guests confirmed the
importance of this leading trade fair for EGGER, says Ulrich Bühler, Head of Sales and
Marketing EGGER Group: "This year's edition of the BAU in Munich represented once
more an excellent presentation platform for us. The booth concept we presented this year
allowed us to highlight for visitors from all fields the diverse construction and design
possibilities of our materials.
