Challenges

How do you capture potential customers' interest and engage visitors at a trade fair?

Husqvarna wanted to capture the interest of prospective customers and visitors to the fair in a good and natural way. They also wanted visitors to stop and remember them and the stand.

How do you show value and services in a quality and good way?

Husqvarna launched a whole series of new floor grinders that are not only physical machines with beautiful engineering, but also have many other added value and digital services. These also wanted to show their customers in a good and natural way, preferably in close proximity to the machine.

How do you show engineering in the new floor grinder PG 830 RC?

Husqvarna is proud of its engineering that is inside the new floor grinder PG 830 RC. It includes, among other things, a new chip that can communicate with the outside world, a closed electrical cabinet and a closed grinding head. In an innovative way, they wanted to show it to customers and stakeholders during the large construction fair World of Concrete and also after the fair.
