Impressions of LogiMAT

The LogiMAT trade show kicked off a successful trade show season. The trade show organizer counted around 50,000 trade visitors over the three days. The exhibition area counted 1,571 exhibitors. At its booth, WAGNER showed innovative fire protection solutions for automated compact storage system and lithium-ion batteries. The OxyReduct^® booth was a particular visitor magnet again this year. With the lighter text, visitors were able to experience first-hand how simple yet efficient active fire prevention is possible by means of oxygen reduction in the warehouse.

In addition to the numerous exhibitors, there were also 14 lecture series with more than 60 experts from business and science. On the 1st day of the fair, among other things, the specialist forum of Logistik-Heute magazine took place, on the topic of "Logistics real estate: fire protection and intralogistics - how to efficiently combine concepts for fire protection and intralogistics".  Here, Werner Wagner, Managing Director and founder of WAGNER Group GmbH, discussed the necessity of fire protection in high-performance intralogistics, the storage of lithium-ion batteries and other fire protection topics with other experts from the fields of fire protection, logistics and logistics real estate.

This year's NFPA Conference & Expo, the meeting place for the American fire safety community, took place in Boston. WAGNER Fire Safety Inc. was one of the more than 300 exhibitors. The team around Christoph Wesner, CEO WAGNER Fire Safety Inc. was pleased to present the active fire prevention system OxyReduct^® to the participants with the SoftBox demo.
