f.re.e is the perfect platform for us as a canoeing association to present to present canoeing to the public. With the support of the lake, we can show how easy it is to glide across the water, and at our information stand and on the water at our information stand and on the water sports stage, we can provide information on all canoeing and answer questions. We have have always enjoyed being there for many years.
The public came to our stand with concrete buying interest and inquiries. We are very satisfied with how the trade fair went and will be back at f.re.e next year.
As a diving store, f.re.e is a firm fixture in our diary. The trade fair promotions and discounts are very popular. As every year, we look forward to making diving in Germany more attractive and getting closer to the community. For this reason, we also take over the regulator workshop and the trial diving at the trade fair. Fun, quality and service are our top priorities so that we can give everyone a great experience!
We have been taking part in f.re.e with our partners from Bayernnetz für Radler for many years because the most important players in the cycling industry and cycling tourism are represented here in one hall. The main demand is for cycling destinations in Germany with tips on bike-friendly accommodation and routing.
The Munich and Oberland sections of the German Alpine Club see f.re.e as an outstanding opportunity to present themselves to a wide audience of leisure enthusiasts. At this event, we come into direct contact with people, which enables us to provide information on a wide range of topics and share our passion for the Alps.
f.re.e 2024 was a complete success for us. The trade fair makes it possible to present our models to a wide audience and bring our special solutions to life for potential customers. Our Pinniato series with MGU technology in particular impressed visitors with its durable and powerful e-bike drive. But the Cargoline models were also tested by many families. We would like to thank everyone involved for this successful event.
