"This trade fair had something magical for me right from the start. Shortly after the opening, the halls were packed, people were trying things out, talking shop and discussing. There was a real sense of enthusiasm, both among visitors and exhibitors, which lasted until the last day. This was helped by a unique supporting programme that addressed important topics such as sustainability, digitalisation, but also occupational health and safety and the shortage of skilled workers. I am certain that this trade fair will resonate for a long time to come!"
Dirk Bollwerk | ZVDH President
"DACH+HOLZ 2024 has provided important impetus for resource-conserving and sustainable construction. It is also an indicator of the good economic situation in timber construction. The many innovations and new products were very well received. I am particularly pleased that more and more start-ups are using the trade fair to present new ideas for climate-neutral construction, among other things."
Peter Aicher | CEO of Holzbau Deutschland
"You meet the Who's Who of the timber construction and roofing industry here. And that alone is the most important reason to come here - whether it's to meet suppliers, see friends and acquaintances or discover new innovations. It is simply a must to visit this trade fair."

"DACH+HOLZ is a big class reunion every two years. This is where you meet people from the industry, the trade and, of course, fellow guild members. The trade fair is simply a must! It's really packed here. All the manufacturers are here. We form a huge community. I meet friends and acquaintances here who I normally only follow on the Internet. I think that's great!"
Michael Weiß | Roofer and influencer (@incrediblewhite)
"I come from Oyten in Lower Saxony and have travelled a long way to visit DACH+HOLZ. It's great here; visiting the trade fair is fun and I was able to gain a lot of new experiences, make new contacts and meet up with acquaintances from the industry. I also discovered some innovations. It's definitely worth the trip and I'm glad I came here. I can only recommend everyone to visit the trade fair. It's simply fantastic!"
Katja Wiesenmüller | Master carpenter and former member of the German national carpentry team
"DACH+HOLZ International 2024 in Stuttgart was a complete success for PU insulation pioneer puren gmbh! Once again, the trade fair was an excellent platform for engaging discussions with our customers and exchanging ideas. Despite the tense situation in the construction industry, the encounters during the four days of the trade fair conveyed a positive mood. Once again, our customers from the carpentry and roofing industry proved to be reliable and crisis-proof partners with whom we will positively realise the impulses initiated in Stuttgart."
Dr. Andreas Huther | CEO of puren gmbh
"We are presenting our products at DACH+HOLZ for the first time and are particularly pleased with the large number of visitors. The good mix of exhibitors and products makes the trade fair a valuable information event for trade visitors. Many individual discussions with entrepreneurs have shown that the actual economic situation of companies is not as bad as the general mood would suggest. Especially at this time of year, such events help to significantly improve the mood for investment."
Stefan Barbaric | CEO of Barbaric GmbH
"We are more than satisfied with this year's DACH+HOLZ. The number of visitors to our stand was immense, a great sign for us and confirmation that customers like coming to us and feel at home. Our stand motto was #Dachentdecker. We wanted to invite our customers to change their perspective on roofs and demonstrate endless possibilities. With our highlight topics such as the new BRAAS Frankfurter Pfanne Flora green roof system and PlanMaster, our new innovative digital roof measurement service, we succeeded in doing just that. We are already looking forward to DACH+HOLZ 2026 in Cologne."
Christian Sack | Sales Director Surface Sales BMI & Emanuela Tavolini | Sales Director Project Sales and Technical Service
"As a Stuttgart-based family business, we are particularly pleased about the successful home game at this year's DACH+HOLZ International 2024! For us, one thing has long been clear: roofs are climate savers and we all need to establish the roof as a usable space. This is a huge opportunity for the entire industry and DACH+HOLZ offers exactly the right platform for this mission. We are delighted that so many visitors came to our stand over the past four days and that we had the opportunity to engage in intensive personal dialogue on site - the trade fair was a complete success for Bauder!"
Tim Bauder | CEO of Paul Bauder GmbH & Co. KG
"DACH+HOLZ International is an excellent opportunity for our company to present our innovations to our customers and the trade public. In addition, Stuttgart, with its excellent infrastructure and trade fair organisation, is an ideal location for the timber construction industry. A particular highlight is primarily the dialogue with timber construction enthusiasts, which provides us with interesting market insights that we can then incorporate into the development of our products."
Gerald Kauderer | Sales Manager Baden-Württemberg, Rotho Blaas srl
"DACH+HOLZ 2024 was a great success for us! We are delighted with the many visitors and the lively interest on all days of the trade fair. The trade fair provided an excellent platform to hold discussions with our tradespeople and make new contacts in the industry. The positive feedback from visitors, especially for our new products such as the PS 2-18 jigsaw, the VERSUM measuring system and the BionicBack exo-stabiliser, confirms us in our work and motivates us for the current year."
Michael Haller | Head of Marketing Services, MAFELL AG
"DACH+HOLZ International 2024 was very successful for us. We had a lot of visitors in our anniversary tent and the atmosphere was very positive. I would also like to take this opportunity to mention the good organisation and the great support for the exhibitors on site! My personal highlight was of course our "100 years of Enke" anniversary party, which we were able to organise in our tent during the trade fair."
Hans-Ulrich Kainzinger | CEO of Enke-Werk, Johannes Enke GmbH & Co. KG
"We are a small, young company and the Start-up Area was the perfect opportunity for us to present our new product to the building trade. We are delighted to have won the Start-up Award, as we would like to improve sustainability and show the simple means by which this is possible."
Anthony Moussu | Technical consultant at Gramitherm Europe SA
"We have been attending trade fairs for many years and DACH+HOLZ 2024 was, in our opinion, the best trade fair in the last ten years. The start on Tuesday was promising, and the following days were outstanding. Many companies from the region brought their journeymen with them, who went on a company outing to the trade fair together. DACH+HOLZ is the most important platform for us to enter into dialogue with customers and learn from them how we can meet their requirements even better. The highlights of the trade fair are clear: meeting the roofing family and bringing together dealers, architects and tradespeople as a team for a sustainable future in Germany, which we want to develop together."
Fritz Stockinger | CEO of alwitra GmbH
"Visitors to our Academy area were able to experience, touch and try out our products directly, which was particularly well received. The quality of the questions and the discussions were extremely high. People are very interested. You can tell that with STEICOsafe we are presenting a product that is right in tune with the times. The absolute highlight here at the STEICO stand is that we don't serve alcoholic beer, and yet we have a huge number of visitors because we have great products."
Florian Zankl | Head of STEICO Academy
"Our trade fair participation was exceptionally good; visitors flocked to our stand. We were very busy the whole time and the enthusiasm of the people to finally meet in person again was palpable. Photovoltaics plays a hugely important role in the roofing industry and it shows how open the roofing trade is to innovative topics. We are delighted to see how our customers are embracing this concept. The absolute highlight was the presentation of our Influencer Award on the day of the trade fair. Our stand was full of people from different generations and there was a lot of hustle and bustle. We chose three outstanding winners and it was a real pleasure to celebrate with the community."
Ann-Katrin Rieser | Head of Marketing and Communication & Florian Scherr | Sales Director, Creaton GmbH
