SICAM 2010: a successful exhibition for GRASS

• New products presented exceeded expectations

• Big demand for Dynapro and Tiomos, the new slide and hinge

systems

At the SICAM 2010 exhibition in Pordenone, Italy, GRASS was pleased

with its success from day one. "We anticipated a lot of interest," re-

ported Managing Director Frank Nessler, "but it exceeded our expecta-

tions. Not long after the doors to the exhibition had opened our stand

was already swarming with visitors. We saw a strong demand particu-

larly for Dynapro and Tiomos."

For GRASS this was another successful exhibition in 2010. It comes

on the back of successes earlier in the year as the company created

much interest with its innovative products at the Eurocucina kitchen ex-

hibition in Milan in April and at the IWF exhibition in Atlanta in August,

which focuses on timber processing and furniture. This time, GRASS

showcased its latest product developments for the European market.

Responding to customer requirements: new products at SICAM

On show were numerous developments of the company's innovative

movement systems with which GRASS responds to the needs and re-

quirements of furniture manufacturers.

For base cabinets, GRASS presented a new product creation of the

Nova Pro Crystal double-skin drawer system. This system is now availa-

ble in two versions, Deluxe and Classic. These units feature side ele-

ments made of aluminium, offering customers another individual kitchen

design opportunity. "Current trends in kitchen design work with alumi-

nium for many elements. Of course we respond to that", reports Frank

Nessler. There were also two new product features for the DWD XP

Agantis double-skin drawer system: one was the height adjustment op-

tion for the 127 drawer, and the other was the new design in stainless

steel.

Particular emphasis was placed on special drawer solutions. With Qu-

aturis S, GRASS presented the first movement system for standard cor-

ner-base cabinets at SICAM.

With these product variations, GRASS has again demonstrated the

high degree of individuality with which it responds to the wide range of

requirements of its customers regarding design and appearance. "Look-

ing back we can say that SICAM has again given us valuable insight into

customer requirements so that we can meet these in the future and

maintain our position as industry leaders", says Frank Nessler. The valu-

able new contacts made at the exhibition and the exchanges with exist-

ing customers provide GRASS with a positive perspective for the future.
