Young Fürth company honoured once again
Founder Award nomination "StartUp" for bbco MesseManufaktur GmbH. Founded in 2010, bbco MesseManufaktur GmbH is already on course for national and international success and has been nominated for the Bavarian Founder Award 2012.
After being honoured with the Central Franconian Founder Award in the “Concept” category last year, bbco MesseManufaktur has now been nominated at Bavarian level in the ‘"StartUp" category.
bbco MesseManufaktur from Fürth in Central Franconia plans and builds ‘three-dimensional brand presences’ for companies from medium-sized businesses and industry; a brand presence as beautiful, explanatory and convincing as a glossy brochure, only in three-dimensional space. Architects, designers, craftsmen and fitters work hand in hand to ensure that the exhibition stand impresses - from a small information centre to a multi-storey showroom as large as an ice hockey pitch. The stand builders from Fürth are active at trade fairs from Düsseldorf to Dubai, in Bavaria, Bologna, Istanbul and Madrid.
The recipe for success? For bbco founder Lars Borngräber, it's entrepreneurial courage and his in-depth industry experience: “What counts at the trade fair is a successful ‘live’ presentation. Everything has to be perfectly coordinated in terms of design and construction, that's clear. But our aim is to create a spark on site. That's why an important criterion in our planning is that the people working at the stand are enthusiastic.” The Bavarian Founder Award 2012 will be presented on May 3 in Nuremberg. With this award, the Savings Banks Association has been highlighting exemplary achievements in the establishment of companies in Bavaria since 1997. The three best “founders” in the state are nominated in each of six categories.
bbco MesseManufaktur GmbH attributes its outstanding success in just its second year of business to the skills and teamwork of its now 10 permanent and 24 freelance employees. “We offer the entire program required for trade fair appearances,” says Lars Borngräber, ”so we are a kind of creative vendor's tray: We design, plan and build, but we also have to transport and store with pinpoint accuracy, we organize and provide comprehensive advice. As a start-up, you can only succeed if you have really good people working together, if they are flexible and reliable. Without this, we would not have been able to assert ourselves so clearly in such a short time.” The award as one of the three best companies in Bavaria is very important for his team, he says, because enormous efforts have to be made, especially in the start-up phase. “This public recognition is an additional incentive,” says the founder and Managing Director.
