Around 75,000 visitors gather in Nuremberg for Fensterbau exhibition

The global glazing sector exhibition Fensterbau Frontale returned to its usual date in the spring with great success. Over the four day event, a total of around 75,000 visitors from 112 countries gathered at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg to meet 973 exhibitors from 44 countries and discuss the latest trends in window, door and façade construction. The exhibition was accompanied by a comprehensive supporting programme that offered many valuable ideas on industry topics of current relevance.

Immersion in new products and technologies, making valuable industry contacts and coming to grips with current challenges such as sustainability, protection against climate extremes, serialized construction and refurbishment and the shortage of skilled labour: Despite or rather because of the tense situation in the construction industry, Fensterbau proved very popular once again this year and attracted visitors from the joinery, architecture and window and façade construction sectors to Nuremberg from around the world. A great atmosphere, lively discussions in the exhibition halls and extremely positive feedback from all sides allow the organizers to look back on four successful days at the trade fair with great satisfaction. The independent visitor survey also confirmed the quality of the trade visitors and the high proportion of decision-makers present.

The latest profile systems, glass in architecture, fastening technology, security systems, machines, systems and much more all awaited discovery at the stands of the 644 exhibitors at Fensterbau 2024. “Fensterbau Frontale has once again clearly proven itself as the world’s leading trade fair for windows, doors and façades and was the central meeting point for visitors from all over the world in search of the latest trending themes and solutions to key industry challenges, which is reflected in the key trade fair figures,” says Elke Harreiß, Executive Director Fensterbau Frontale, NürnbergMesse. “The exhibitors’ stands, some of which were very impressive, showcased exciting products, including many world firsts from both key players and start-ups.” Special highlights in the supporting programme included the Fensterbau Frontale Forum, the Architecture-Window-Facade Forum with accompanying guided tours and the forum “A Practical Guide to Digitisation”, in addition to numerous special shows such as “climate.safe.building” and Taste of windays. 

Fensterbau Frontale will take place again as scheduled from 24 to 27 March 2026 at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg.
