Dear Business Partners,

We will return to the canceled trade fairs next year, at the following dates:

- FOR PASIV, FOR WOOD and FOR THERM: 10 – 12 February  2022

- FOR INTERIOR spring, FOR GARDEN and DESIGN SHAKER: 31 March – 3 April 2022

Dear exhibitors, we appreciate very much the current level of mutual cooperation and we look forward to meeting you soon at PVA EXPO PRAGUE in Letňany!

The set of the fairs FOR PASIV, FOR WOOD and FOR THERM trade fairs attracted an extraordinarily large number of visitors.

 Almost 26 000 people came to Prague to find current trends of the branche of Trade Fair for Low-energy, Passive and Zero-energy Buildings and Heating. The trio of fairs was complemented by the Roofs of Prague (STŘECHY PRAHA) event. The first day of the fair was opened by the Minister of Industry and Trade Karel Havlíček and the Minister of the Environment Richard Brabec.

Company ABF, a.s. dissociates itself from the practices of companies International Fair Trade, Expo Guide, MULPOR Company S.A., FAIR Guide, Construct Data, which offer the publication of company data in the internet catalog of trade fairs and exhibitors. 

Although the offer for the publication of the data in the catalog is presented as free of charge, after completing and submitting the data, the client will receive an invoice for the payment of almost EUR 1200 per year.

Furthermore, ABF, a.s. declares that it has never granted the mentioned companies permission to use or promote the protected names or logos of trade fairs organized by ABF, a. s. and to address individual exhibitors on behalf of the organizer of the fair.

The unique concurrence of FOR PASIV and FOR WOOD trade fairs will become a number one of its kind in the Czech Republic in 2019. Popular event will be held at PVA EXPO PRAGUE in hall n.2 that covers  4 000 square metres of gross exhbition area.  The number of exhibitors will increase and there will be a significant increase in the nomenclature, mainly in the field of heating.

Industry 4.0 is the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. The fourth revolution is comming and especially Building industry will be one of the most affected sector. For that reason, Building 4.0 is the flagship of the International Building trade fair FOR ARCH that is held 18 – 22 September, 2018, where the specialists as well as politicians will be discussing this topic.

This year’s edition of the International Building Trade Fair FOR ARCH, which is the largest event of this type in the Czech Republic, was extraordinarily successful again. Altogether 841 exhibitors presented their expositions there, 67 of them coming from abroad from 15 countries of the world, and the number of visitors thus exceeded the limit of 71,000 persons. This success would not have been possible without involvement of our long-term partners, and therefore we would like to express our thanks for the demonstrated support to the general partner of the trade fair, the ČEZ Group, to the car manufacturing company FORD for official cars of the trade fair, to the organisations and other institutions which provided their auspices for the event, as well as to all our professional and media partners. At the same time we would like to express our great thanks also to all visitors whose support is at the same time a great challenge for us in the future as well.

The GRAND PRIX competition for the best exhibit, which is organised by the ABF, a. s. company, has taken place at the International Building Trade Fair FOR ARCH 2016 this year as well. The competition was attended by altogether 41 registered products, and after the careful studying of the ground materials and on the basis of presentation of exhibits of the firms in the course of the first day of the trade fair the Jury granted five GRAND PRIX awards and six HONOURABLE MENTIONS without specifying any detailed order.

The twenty-eighth edition of the largest International Building Trade Fair in the Czech Republic is opening its gates for visitors this afternoon. The FOR ARCH Trade Fair is held at the PVA EXPO PRAGUE Exhibition Centre and will last till Saturday, 24 September. More than eight hundred exhibitors from fifteen countries of the world will present there the latest trends from the field of the building industry on an exhibition area of almost 21,000 square metres.

Within the framework of the accompanying programme it is furthermore possible to attend specialised conferences with participation of leading personalities in the sector, important nation-wide architectonic competitions as well as a practical programme for entrepreneurs and the general public.  A great innovation compared to previous editions is given by various daily topics - quality of products, energy performance management, professional education, smart house concepts and self-built house constructions. Newly it will be possible to use also the independent BUILDING ADVISORY CENTRE where professionals will provide, free of charge, useful advice within the framework of the daily topics focused on the ways of how to manage various construction issues. In terms of additional topics, FOR ARCH will be complemented by the accompanying trade fairs FOR STAV, FOR THERM, FOR WOOD and BAZÉNY, SAUNY & SPA.
