Positive Expectations for Batimat St. Petersburg 2000

Batimat St. Petersburg 2000, the leading international building and construction exhibition serving the north west region of Russia, will take place for the 4th successive time at the LenExpo Exhibition Centre, in the heart of St. Petersburg.

Joining the celebrated and world renowned name of Batimat, will be Heat*Vent St. Petersburg 2000, the 4th international heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration exhibition and Interiors St. Petersburg 2000, also a leading international exhibition which caters for the interior design, furnishings, flooring and finishes market. The exhibition which runs from 25-28 October offers Russia's architects, specifiers, developers, interior designers, distributors, retailers and contract buyers, a tremendous range of quality products and services.

Over 320 international companies from 15 countries will be attending the exhibition. This is a steady increase from previous years reflecting the confidence in the Russian building market, which is set to continue and prosper.

The booming Windows & Doors section of the show boasts a variety of top names including Velux, Hörmann, Rothenberger, Aluplast, Somfry, Fimtec, Elumatec, and many, many more. Both Heat*Vent and Interiors St. Petersburg are all developing into major international showcases in their own rights. Market leaders exhibiting for Heat*Vent St. Petersburg include IBP, Danfoss, Grundfos, IMI, Wilorus, and Forbo, Tarket, Geipel and Dom Laverna for Interiors St. Petersburg. All the above names recognise Batimat St. Petersburg 2000 as a major event in the exhibition calendar and realise its ability with reaching a wider international audience.

Once again Batimat St. Petersburg receives the full support of the Gosstroi Rossii, the State Committee for Construction, Architecture and Housing in the Russian Federation. Finland, United Kingdom and Germany are all participating as prominent National Group Stands at the show.

After last year's success, the organisers have once again incorporated the 'Demonstration Area' into the exhibition alongside an acclaimed seminar programme. Concentrating particularly on roofing and waterproofing materials, visitors will have the opportunity to see at first hand the benefits of a wide spectrum of products from both national and international market leaders. Due to the extreme weather conditions in north west Russia the demand for quality roofing and insulation is an essential element in the construction and building market and therefore the 'Demonstration Area' will prove an additional benefit to the show.
