Theme HOUT 2012: Invest in the future
Are you working in the wood and/or sheet stock processing industry? Then HOUT 2012 is the trade show for you. Although the wood and building sectors are going through a difficult time, it is important to sow now to harvest later, whenever the economy does pick up, and to showcase your company to decision makers. Will they choose your product or someone else’s?

The focus of HOUT 2012 is on the future. The trade show is the perfect moment to personally communicate your added value, to strengthen relations with business contacts and to attract new prospects. It is also the place to literally meet the future: school children. Give students and pupils the opportunity to experience the trade and to choose for the profession and product. They literally have the future in their hands.

With the government’s ambitious plans for 100% sustainable purchasing, sustainable wood is no longer a product to be ignored; it is now impossible to imagine the branch without socially responsible enterprises. Show visitors how you and your product can help them achieve this. That also is the future.
