In the event of a Fakuma 2020 trade fair actually being held, the management of the Wittmann Group has decided to abstain from active participation this year, due to the well-known health risks caused by the Covid-19, and the resulting uncertainty as to how a trade fair booth could be set up and run in compliance with the necessary safety measures then in force.

This decision has not been made lightly, since the Fakuma normally constitutes a top-class trade fair event offering both exhibitors and visitors an excellent platform for introducing and/or exploring new technologies and products. The numerous product presentations we had planned for this year's Fakuma will now be shown in due course in virtual presentation.

Since, as is generally known, large gatherings of people in particular are an ideal breeding ground for a renewed outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, the Wittmann Group would rather not expose its associates and visitors to such an incalculable health risk. The teams of Wittmann and Wittmann Battenfeld stand ready at any time for consultations in small groups and look forward to the pleasure of presenting interesting innovative products and applications.
