As a special highlight at BrauBeviale in November 2018 KHS placed the focus on its 150 years of history – an achievement which is abso­lutely unique in its branch of industry. Visitors to the trade show booth were able to experience an unforgettable juxtaposition of old and new with a showcase whose bright lights formed a half-moon LED wall sporting striking projections: impressive film sequences documenting the Dortmund systems supplier’s past forged a link between pioneering spirit and tradition on the one hand and future-oriented KHS technology on the other. Encircled by historic exhibits the eye-catcher was a real visitor magnet from start to finish of the trade show.

Above and beyond usual trade show business KHS also extended an invitation to its special 150th Anniversary Night. Around 600 customers from all over the world came and enjoyed a perfect evening. The celebratory event also gave the new chairman of the KHS Executive Management Board Kai Acker the chance to introduce himself to guests both as a group and in personal discussion and to raise a glass to KHS’ very special birthday!

»150 years of pioneering spirit, vision, innovation,experience and passions – all this had to be expressed by our trade show booth. The great positive response from our visitors shows that we were successful in our endeavor.«
