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.

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.
