For the third time, gugler* was represented at the Frankfurt Book Fair with a booth made of natural materials. Under the motto “HIGHLY EXCEPTIONAL”, gugler* was showing the publishing industry how healthy, pollutant-free and recyclable Cradle to Cradle production can help differentiate itself from the competition in the future.

The Frankfurt Book Fair had 8% more visitors than in 2018. Exactly 302 267. Long live the book! And here is a quote from a visitor: “I went through the halls and everything was so sterile and lifeless and then I saw the booth of gugler*, who really shone out from the crowd out. Here is life. Here I can recharge my batteries. The gugler* booth is made of real wood and looks powerful and pithy.”
