Messe Frankfurt North America Celebrates 25th Anniversary

Milestone achieved with the ‘commitment and duty of our talented staff,’ says CEO Smith

ATLANTA — Messe Frankfurt North America, based here, is celebrating its 25th anniversary, the company reports. It is the subsidiary of German trade show management company Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH, perhaps best known in this industry for organizing Texcare International, the World Market for Modern Textile Care.

As the sole subsidiary in North America, the U.S.-based regional office has upheld the standards and traditions that continue to carry and spread the Messe Frankfurt name, the firm writes.

We are proud to have served the North American market for many years, but to be celebrating a 25-year milestone with a U.S.-based regional office is an honor and we hope to continue,” says Dennis Smith, president and CEO of Messe Frankfurt North America.

We cannot achieve such a successful milestone without the commitment and duty of our talented staff in Atlanta, Mexico City and Alberta,” he adds, also identifying, “strategic partners, local convention and visitor bureaus, event vendors and the many venues that we operate from in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.”

Messe Frankfurt North America organizes 10 trade shows in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, including Texworld USA, International Apparel Sourcing Show, and Home Textiles Sourcing Expo.

All of the venues have contributed to the success of Messe Frankfurt North America’s shows by providing outstanding support and service, the firm says.

“Thirty years ago, Messe Frankfurt began organizing trade shows outside Germany. And Messe Frankfurt North America has been representing both the tradition and the success of the company and its customers in exemplary fashion for 25 years,” says Detlef Braun, executive board member of Messe Frankfurt. “We have a highly motivated, efficient and very likeable team here in Atlanta — with superb expertise in organizing both trade shows and marketing activities offline and online.”

The continued success and future of Messe Frankfurt North America would not be possible without the unwavering support of the exhibitors and attendees of its managed trade shows and events, the company notes.
