Read the latest statements of exhibitors, trade associations and visitors about MAINTAIN 2007.

Bilfinger Berger Industrial Services AG
As one of the leading suppliers of technical services and maintenance in the European processing industry, we feel that this exhibition gives us an appropriate platform for presenting our performance capabilities and solution expertise. MAINTAIN continues to establish itself as a leading trade show for industrial maintenance in Germany. However, we also feel it is important for the fair to increase its appeal outside of Germany, as well. There is no doubt that MAINTAIN plays an important role as a forum for the exchange of information at the professional level. It gives the market a very concentrated look at the industry's innovations, trends and developments and a chance to discuss them at a high level.
Thomas Töpfer, Chairman of the Board


DB Services
For DB Services, MAINTAIN has truly developed into a platform where we can demonstrate our product and service expertise and showcase our solutions. We held some very successful meetings with several interested visitors at our exhibition stand, and this kind of concentration would not have been possible anywhere else. In retrospect, DB Services considers MAINTAIN a positive investment in our customer relations.
Ralph-Peter Hänisch, Chairman of the Managing Board


Endress + Hauser Messtechnik GmbH + Co.KG
MAINTAIN has taken another giant step forward in the professionalism department compared to last year. Our contacts in the sector for maintenance and quality management included both existing customers as well as potential new customers. As a forum for the maintenance industry, MAINTAIN is also a perfect opportunity to exchange information with other exhibitors about the latest service-related topics.
Thomas Kaufmann, Marketing Manager Services


FLIR Systems GmbH
The topic of maintenance is more important than ever, and not just because it cuts costs and has a favorable effect on company profits. With that it mind, the quality of the visitors was outstanding. They seem genuinely pleased when people offer then innovative solutions such as thermography.
Gabriela Schreiber, Marketing


GE Consumer & Industrial GmbH
MAINTAIN is increasingly developing into a gathering for maintenance specialists in Germany. It is an important exhibition for meeting with partners and customers and for following trends and developments.
Andreas Hennig, Global Product Manager, Services


IBM Deutschland GmbH
We had a number of serious, in-depth conversations with the desired target group, our customers and other interested parties. It was an effective sales event.
Michael Theobald, Director of Sales, Maximo Software


MCE Industrietechnik AG
As far as MCE Industrietechnik is concerned, MAINTAIN is an optimum platform that depicts the market in Germany and Austria and its connections in the industrial services sector as well as a platform for communicating and exchanging information with our customers and a very interested audience of professionals. Thanks to perfect organization on the part of Munich International Trade Fairs, MAINTAIN 2007 was a very successful event for MCE Industrietechnik.
Friedrich Rauchdobler, Management Board Spokesman


Lösomat-Schraubtechnik Neef GmbH
MAINTAIN was a complete success for us again in 2007. The fact that we introduced the world's first lithium-ion battery-operated torque wrench for torque moments up to 4,000 Nm met with a great deal of interest. We will definitely be back again in 2008.
Marc Gareis, Managing Director


Piepenbrock Instandhaltung GmbH + Co.KG
Piepenbrock Instandhaltung has been exhibiting at MAINTAIN from the very beginning. MAINTAIN was extremely well received with regard to both its quantity and quality. As a quality-oriented, flexible and practical maintenance company, we see MAINTAIN's dynamic growth as a very positive development. The fair reflects dynamic market growth with increasing demand for maintenance solutions. Piepenbrock Instandhaltung is the right partner.
Olaf Piepenbrock, CEO


Prüftechnik AG
MAINTAIN quickly developed into an information and communications platform that has earned a permanent place in the maintenance community. The question is no longer whether one will attend MAINTAIN, but when!
Michael Stolze, Head of Sales


Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services
Thanks to its concept, MAINTAIN was already very successful for Siemens last year. That is why we presented our entire portfolio of maintenance services at MAINTAIN 2007. Although this is only the third time that MAINTAIN has been held, it has been an absolute must for the maintenance industry for quite some time.
Dr. Thomas Moser, Director of Business Unit Industrial Services

SKF GmbH
We used MAINTAIN as a communications platform; the quality of the meetings we held was outstanding. It is important for us to reach maintenance decision-makers from all branches of industry. And that was certainly the case at MAINTAIN 2007.
Doris Herzel, Marketing Director


TÜV Rheinland
TÜV Rheinland was at MAINTAIN for the first time. The topic of industrial maintenance and the extensive range of solution-oriented services that we offer complement one another perfectly. In keeping with our slogan, we can definitely say: MAINTAIN and TÜV Rheinland ─ Just right!
Frank Moltkaue, Head of Business Unit for Plant Safety


Voith Industrial Services Holding GmbH
MAINTAIN is an important exhibition for industrial maintenance. This interdisciplinary exhibition is valuable to us, particularly because our services target various branches of industry. We especially appreciate the chance to examine complex topics more closely at the Exhibitor Forum. That is why we would welcome MAINTAIN expanding its label even further to tap potential in new regions and establish itself as a discussion forum for the latest topics of interest to the industry.
Christian Kahl, Vice President Marketing

FVI Forum Vision Instandhaltung e.V.
FVI participated as an exhibitor in the maintenance exhibition MAINTAIN 2007 in Munich from October 16 – 18, 2007 for the third time. 19 FVI member companies from the maintenance industry participated in FVI's joint exhibit at Stand 201 in Hall 3. Another 14 FVI member companies exhibited at their own stands. Experts held public lectures at the FVI stand on all three days of the fair. The number of visitors demonstrated quite clearly that interest in the topic of maintenance is growing. Preventative maintenance calls for urgently needed, well-trained maintenance engineers and maintenance managers! That, in turn, calls for increased awareness in political and academic circles. We need to come up with an official job description for "maintenance engineer".
We can't miss this opportunity. The only way to play in the big leagues and secure our market position among international competitors is with highly qualified employees. As a compact information platform for the maintenance sector, MAINTAIN helps to shape the way users and manufacturers think quite considerably.
The overall design and the open layout of the FVI stand were well received among the member companies with exhibits at the fair. The second day of the fair saw more activity and even more high-quality contacts. Support from the MAINTAIN team in the areas of public relations and a smooth-running event was particularly noteworthy. The FVI exhibit was rounded out by non-stop live expert presentations. FVI is planning to participate in MAINTAIN again in 2008.
Harald Neuhaus, FVI Chairman, Director, Central Systems Engineering of AluNorf GmbH

Maintenance Facility Management Society of Austria (MFA)
For a consulting company that specializes in maintenance, it is essential to remain abreast of the latest technology trends (e.g. in condition monitoring or maintenance software) and to recognize their potential applications. MAINTAIN is the perfect place to gather important information in a compact yet comprehensive manner. For a consultant, MAINTAIN is also the perfect place to showcase one's own technical and methodology expertise and to interest customers in consulting services and convince them about their utility. 
Dr. Andreas Dankl, Managing Director, Maintenance Facility Management Society of Austria (MFA) and Managing Director, dankl + partner consulting GmbH

Alpenhain Käsespezialitäten-Werk GmbH & Co.KG
I had some good discussions with our cooperation partners that we will follow up on after the fair. For me, MAINTAIN is an important communications platform, and I am looking forward to attending again in the future.
Andreas Pettinger, Maintenance Coordinator

Audi AG
We have been attending MAINTAIN since the first time it was held. This trade show has developed in some very positive ways over the last three years. For us, MAINTAIN is an exhibition with a focused working atmosphere. In the future, we would like to see even more suppliers in the sector for maintenance services for machine tools.
Jürgen Thiers, Maintenance Group Director

SMS Meer GmbH
There is no comparable exhibition for the maintenance sector in Germany. We found the comprehensive overview about condition-monitoring systems informative. MAINTAIN will be a permanent entry in our calendar: This is where the maintenance industry meets!
Dr. Werner Schemmann, Senior Manager Maintenance Service
