BAU 2007: An Interview with Akotherm's CEO Frank Schneider - The leading trade fair for the European building and construction industry is held every two years: the BAU in Munich. The next BAU from 15 to 20 January 2007 will also see Akotherm taking part for the first time with its own presentation. With the fair now approaching, we took the opportunity to speak to Akotherm CEO Frank Schneider about upcoming innovations, his further plans and future objectives. : Mr Schneider, what specific goal do you have in mind with your presentation at the BAU trade fair? Schneider: We see the BAU as a platform for our future projects, so our goal is quite clear: Akotherm will present itself as a performance-driven partner and manufacturer of aluminium systems for windows, doors, façades and conservatories. We want to use the BAU to reach additional prospective customers in the German-speaking countries and to win new partners involved in system manufacturing.
