Over 50,000 trade visitors attended this year’s leading global trade fair for roller shutters, doors and sun protection in Stuttgart, with about half of these coming from abroad. And the industry can certainly look forward to the future with optimism. “The response to elero’s trade fair appearance was excellent. Moreover, many visitors came with specific purchase intentions. For this reason we expect to see a continuation of the pleasing development in recent years.” explains Rainer Kunz, managing director of elero GmbH and CEO of the Günther Group.

Minimum noise levels and wireless controls
The main focus of elero’s R+T trade fair appearance was on the new drive generation – RevoLine. These drives can be installed quickly, and operate roller shutters and awnings extremely quietly and gently. “The RevoLine drives not only offer a high degree of comfort in daily use, but also meet the needs of installation companies. The reaction of the trade visitors was correspondingly positive,” says Dieter Walddörfer, technical director at elero. “For this reason we expect the demand for RevoLine to match the demand seen in 2003 with the launch of the ProLine controls.” In addition to the RevoLine drives, the radio controls of the ProLine series, as well as the venetian blind drive JA Soft Top, met with great interest from the visitors.


Linear actuator technology is a rapidly growing business area for elero. Thus sales have virtually doubled since the last R+T three years ago. For the first time ever elero was present with its own stand for linear actuator technology. “The trade fair went extremely well for us; we made numerous promising contacts. I believe that this will lead to the creation of excellent business for us. Having our own stand was certainly worthwhile,” is how Hartmut Blum, subsidiary manager of elero Linearantriebstechnik, sums up the trade fair activities of his business area.
