Merely a year ago Targi w Krakowie completed the historical investment by launching its new seat – International Exhibition and Convention Centre EXPO Kraków, and now the company has taken yet another significant step. The largest in Southern Poland,and the leading Polish organizer of exhibitions and congresses has strengthened its market position by the acquisition of easyFairs Poland. This is the first case in our country when a private Polish exhibition company has taken over a business with a foreign capital. – The merger is a logical and natural consequence of the long-term tight cooperation. This will undoubtedly strengthen Targi w Krakowie as one of the leading companies in the exhibition sector and will increase the potential and range of the events we organize. Not just in Krakow, but also in the whole Poland – explains Ewa Woch, Vice President, Targi w Krakowie. Targi w Krakowie Sp. z o.o. is the largest in the South of the country, and the third largest Polish organizer of exhibitions and congresses. The company organizes over a dozen events annually, including the most important sector exhibitions – EUROTOOL® International Fair, International Dental Fair KRAKDENT®, International Fair of Hotel and Catering Equipment Horeca®, KOMPOZYT-EXPO® International Fair, or the unforgettable Krakow Book Fair®. The development plans of Targi w Krakowie for the next few years assume entering new markets, increasing the rented area of EXPO Krakow to external organizers, organizing international events using the company’s own resources or the acquisitions of large players on the market. A wider portfolio of events Following to ownership changes, the events organized so far by easyFairs Poland have reinforced the calendar of Targi w Krakowie. They are Warsaw-based, largest fair in Central and Eastern Europe devoted to packagings, i.e. Packaging Innovations International Fair, the only Polish fair for suppliers of maintenance products and services MAINTENANCE, Fair for powder and bulk materials SyMas, as well as the most important event in Pomerania, held cyclically for five years, the FOOD-to-GO Catering Fair.
