The above information is preliminary only. The definitive final report will be published by BVV Trade Fairs Brno after all statistical data have been audited.

The statistical data given are based on the principles laid down by UFI (Union des Foires Internationales), Paris.

Lívia Klausová, first lady of the Czech Republic:
I liked very much the opening of the fair, fashion shows had an attracting choreography. I also appreciated that the 80th anniversary of the Brno Exhibition Centre was mentioned, the opening evening was really excellent.

Jan Hermanský, CEO of SVITAP J.K.J. Svitavy and President of the cluster of technical textiles CLUTEX:
In the past years Czech producers of technical textiles were unable to present the results of their work due to a lack of space.

CLUTEX became a place of a joint promotion also last year and was successful at its preview. „We are pleased that this time also foreign competitors came to Brno and next time we will try to increase their number.

Petr Limberský, Sales Manager for the Czech Republic, VEBA Olomouc:
Our company has recently been changed from a wholesaler to a firm aimed at a final customer and retail trade. We attend the fair in particular to strengthen our trademark, to present ourselves as a traditional strong producer, to retain old and to establish new contacts with retailers.

Mrs. Kveta Mlejnková, Manageress of Stock Sample Rooms, Jablonex Group:
We have a good strategic place at the fair. This year we have a larger stand as the former one was too small for our customers. We have strengthened trend collection for spring-summer 2008 which has been relatively well sold.

We have been unable to complement our goods and so I think that we can consider our presentation at the fair very successful. We certainly will come back.

Jaromír Sedlák, Marketing Manager, company Ellements:
Our success in Brno is no surprise for us as we have been attending the fair since its establishment, i.e. we are taking part in the 10th KABO Fair. We started as a new firm on the market with a 16 m stand, we have a 70 m stand.

Within five years we have been participating in a foreign fair organized by BVV Trade Fairs Brno Messe Düsseldorf so that we were for the first time in Germany and make use of the services of a group of firms with which we are fully satisfied and successful.

Thanks to both fairs we have been now exporting our goods to 14 European and two overseas countries as a firm which deals with footwear design and production

Jaroslav Fotr, owner of the company EMU universal s.r.o.:
I attend the STYL Fair for the first time, however, as a customer I used to come here twice a year since 1992. I think that it has always been the best in the fashion sphere and I do not know a better place, where to enter the Czech market.

We present here our new brand, i.e. jeans and street BLACK SHEEP, and are satisfied from the commercial point of view. On the first day we had a lot of customers on our stand.

Vladimír Jindrich, Commercial Director of the company GEMINI PLUS (supplier of the brand Collonil):
We have been coming to KABO regularly and are satisfied with our participation. It is in particular a presentation opportunity, but lots of visitors attend the fair and we receive orders so that the fair is of interest to us also from the commercial point of view.
