There were 2,046 overseas visitors, from 73 countries and areas, including many fast-growing, emerging economies.

Stand reservation for R+T Asia 2012 commenced in June of this year and general bookings have been open since August.
In comparison to the last event, more attention is to be focused on the following core areas of R+T Asia 2012. As a result of  visitors’ opinion surveys of the last three years, the display area will be divided according to product classification in an effort to improve the professional appearance of R+T Asia and make it more convenient for visitors to negotiate and purchase.

The display areas are as follows: International area, shading products and fabric display area (N1 Hall); Doors, gates, and gate controls display area (N2 Hall); Power and control systems display area (N2 Hall); Energy-saving windows and doors display area (N3Hall); Window adornments and accessories display area (N3 Hall); and Processing machinery display area (N3 Hall).

As the largest windows, doors and sun-protection systems exhibition, R+T Stuttgart attracts around 60,000 visitors and 800 exhibitors on an area of 105,000m². At Uniexpo, the influence and propaganda of R+T is unprecedented, which will promote ‘Made in China’ and ‘Made in Asia’ to the level of international purchasing markets.
