From March 24th, 2015 to March 26th, 2015 took place at the Messe Frankfurt in Frankfurt am Main in Germany, the Facility Management Trade Fair and Congress 2015.

It is always a pleasure for me to go there, because there is a shuttle that takes you to the hall 11 of the Messe Frankfurt, where the Facility Management Trade Fair and Congress takes place, and the mood of the fair is friendly and relaxed.

Among the firms I came across, the firm Kaffee Partner from Osnabrück in Germany, a firm that manufactures automatic coffee machines. Hard to imagine a firm without a coffee machine for the well-being of collaborators of firms that are coffee drinkers.

The Frankfurt am Main's 2012 Facility Management Trade Fair and Congress, March 6th To March 8th, 2012, at the Messe Frankfurt, in Frankfurt am Main, in Germany.

To begin this article, it is important to explain what Facility Management is about. Facility Management is about :

Document archiving, document destruction, firm mail, mail transportation, fire protection, budget, office space planning, catering, documentation, reception desk, energy management, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, refrigeration, logistics, modernization, renovation, security, software, cleaning, waste management, (…), all those words familiar to us and that are a part of our daily life.
