By Dianne M. Pogoda
Join NKBA for its annual International Buyers Tour at the German Haus Fair in Frankfurt, Germany, Sept. 19 to 24. NKBA, in cooperation with its Global Alliance Partners — the German Association of Modern Kitchen manufacturers (AMK), VDM, and its German kitchen manufacturer members — invites you to apply for the opportunity to be a part of this VIP experience.
What is the German Küchenmiele A30 House Fair?
The A30 Küchenmiele eV marketing association represents two-thirds of total sales in the German kitchen furniture industry. This event brings guests together with exhibitors along the Küchenmiele, or “kitchen mile,” providing an opportunity to learn about their newest innovations, concepts and products. Designers and buyers will have the chance to attend demonstrations, review trends and ask questions about cabinetry (known in Europe as “kitchen furniture”), appliances, sinks and accessories.
Tour participants are responsible for their flights to and from Frankfurt, and pay a $995 fee per person to take part in the event. Hotels, meals and transportation on the tour are all included in the fee.
The excursion starts on Sept. 19 with arrival at the Frankfurt airport for a breakfast meet-up, motorcoach transportation to northwest Germany and a welcome dinner. The following days include showroom and factory tours, meals and entertainment. On Sept. 21, enjoy a special dinner hosted by NKBA and AMK. Sept. 22 is a free day to explore additional German manufacturers and showrooms. On Sept. 23, the tour returns to Frankfort with lunch at a traditional area restaurant along the scenic drive, followed by a farewell dinner. Departures from Frankfurt are on Sept. 24.
Among the 27 participating manufacturers are NKBA members Bauformat, Miele and nobilia, and NKBA Global Connect members Ballerina Kitchen, Hacker Kitchen and Schüller.
The tour is designed for kitchen and bath dealers, designers and showrooms interested in expanding their lines to include German products. Each of the participants on the tour is prepared to collaborate with you to facilitate a buying relationship.

In the application, we ask that you tell us about your business and explain how your participation in this event will benefit you and your enterprise. We look forward to reviewing your application.
