Greetings to all our esteemed partners and friends across the brush industry! With great excitement, FEIBP and ABMA welcome you to the World Brush Expo 2024, an event that stands as a beacon of unity, innovation, and resilience in our industry. This year, we gather in Bologna, Italy, not just to celebrate our achievements but to collaboratively forge a path towards a sustainable and innovative future.
A B2B Gathering of Visionaries and Innovators
In a time when the world seems to be promoting division and segregation, we are joining together, building bridges, and organizing the World Brush Expo. The WBE indeed stands as the premier B2B platform that unites the entire brush industry under one roof. With around 150 exhibitors confirmed, our show floor will be a vibrant marketplace featuring the latest in filament, machinery, and components. Meanwhile, visitors to the Expo will encompass brush manufacturers and brush passionates of every conceivable type, creating a unique opportunity for networking, discovery, and business development. Themes around innovation and sustainability are encapsulating our vision for the future of the brushware industry.
Impressive Engagement and Global Reach
The response to the World Brush Expo 2024 has been nothing short of spectacular. Our website has attracted over 20,000 visitors from more than 113 countries, speaking 41 different languages, highlighting the global appeal and impact of our event. Furthermore, our LinkedIn page has garnered over 240,000 impressions, with an engagement rate over four times higher than the platform average, highlighting the vibrant community we’ve built together.
Rapid Adaptation and Remarkable Achievements
Organizing this show represented a significant change, achieved in just over 12 months after more than 25 years of its predecessor’s legacy, in a new location, a different country, and a definitively transformed business world. This swift and successful transition is a testament to the extraordinary cooperation between FEIBP, ABMA, and many of our members, whom I affectionately call “brush-believers.” Together, we have actively contributed to reshaping the brush industry, demonstrating remarkable adaptability and innovation.
Looking Ahead with Optimism
The World Brush Expo 2024 is not only a platform for showcasing the latest developments and trends but also a space for meaningful connections and shared learning. As we continue with the event, I encourage each of you to engage fully, explore new ideas, and contribute to the discussions that will shape our industry’s future.
Our collective efforts and enthusiasm are making this event a pivotal moment for the brushware industry. I extend my sincere gratitude to all our exhibitors, attendees, and partners for your unwavering support and active participation. As we look ahead, let us continue to be inspired by what we can achieve together. The World Brush Expo is just the beginning of our journey toward innovation, sustainability, and success. Thank you for being part of this remarkable journey. Here’s to a successful, enlightening, and inspiring Expo that will be remembered as a milestone in our industry’s history.
