Trembling until the last moment: Will the surface event of the year 2021 work? After having already had to be postponed once due to the lockdown phase in Germany? Now the “furniture production” and “arcade” networks can report that everything is going well. Whether spontaneous livestream or short-term corona test – for this event, which started today at 3 p.m. in the Electoral Palace in Mainz, no stone was left unturned. The first speaker of the day is Clive Pinnington from the European Panel Federation, followed by Peter Lantz from Ikea, Ralf Imbery from Continental and Nadia Oukid from Sappi.
