Muda? Nein danke!
„Muda“ ist das japanische Wort für Verschwendung.
Jede menschliche Aktivität, die Ressourcen wie Zeit
und Material verbraucht, aber keinen Wert erzeugt,
ist Muda.

Das Minimieren von Muda ist der Teil der japani-
schen Kaizen-Philosophie, mit der wir von Bluepool
uns ganz besonders gerne identifizieren. Denn als
Schwaben sind wir von Natur aus sparsam und
gehen sehr bewusst mit Ressourcen um. Vor allem
mit unserer Zeit und Ihrem Geld.

juice and spirits now has smaller “sat­
ellites” in Cape Town (South Africa),
Talca (Chile), Krasnodar (Russia),
Nashik (India) and Vienna. Ulrich
Kromer, LMS Managing Director, ex­
plains the idea behind it: “We want to
be the global marketing partner for our
exhibitors and help them to open up
important future markets on location.”
Kromer does not see this as competi­
tion to the main trade fair in Stuttgart:
“As is the case with other large trade
fair corporations in Ger­many, the sat­
ellites function very well at attracting
people to the main event. At IVIF
2007, there was a significantly higher
number of specialist visitors from Aus­
tria and Chile, even though, or perhaps
because we launched new events in
these countries in the pre­vious three
years. Recognition of the INTERVITIS
INTERFRUCTA brand is growing
worldwide through these sorts of for­
eign offshoots.”
