Step-by-Step Rise to Global Player – The History of Fairs and Exhibitions in Düsseldorf

Werner M. Dornscheidt

What started in makeshift wooden premises in Düsseldorf city centre is now an internationally active company that is represented in all growth regions of the world. Düsseldorf was established as a fair venue on 7 January 1947 with the formation of Nordwestdeutsche Ausstellungsgesellschaft mbH (NOWEA).

Annual Report

2009: 365 Days - Success first

Hall 5 was modernized and the range of events was extended so as to enable the company to cater for the changed customer needs even more accurately. We have now strengthened the international presence of the Messe Düsseldorf brand and, as a result, sharpened the company’s profile as a leading trade fair organizer with worldwide operations. read more...
