Orlando was buzzing this past week as Design and
Construction Week took place. This event includes the International Builders’ Show (IBS)
and The Kitchen & Bath Industry Show.
IBS was held at the Orange County Convention Center in
Orlando from January 10 to 12. The show is hosted by the National Association
of Home Builders (NAHB), and is a great opportunity for our building and
construction team to visit our customers’ displays and to see the latest
products, materials and technologies, many of which we have contributed to.
This year’s show was well attended and featured 1,500 exhibitors,
160+ education sessions and over 80,000 attendees. The entire event was filled
with positive vibes. Many booths infused
the fun of Orlando with their products, featuring music and interactive
displays.
The Building and Construction industry is investing heavily
in new technologies and applications, trying to innovate and bring new products
to market. The sentiment from the show
was “cautiously optimistic” about 2017 but very positive about continued growth
in years to come.
Our building and construction team was able to visit with many
of our customers and discuss the future of the industry. Our annual attendance
at the International Builders’ Show ensures that we will be able to anticipate
customer needs and develop products to meet those needs.
