Welcome to R+T in StuttgartFor over 50 years, companies have been presenting their innovations and demonstra-ting their solutions for the central themes in the sector at R+T – the world´s leading trade fair for roller shutters, doors/gates and sun protection systems. During the trade fair or at one of the numerous evening events: R+T provides the opportunity for exchanging ideas and opinions with colleagues and is the ideal platform for intensive specialist discussions. Several specialist forums and network events ensure that contacts are made and give participants new impetus for their daily work.
