GALABAU innovativ specialist congress 2026 in Leipzig
GftK is honoured as Industry Champion 2025.
At the end of January, hagebau invited attendees to the GALABAU innovativ specialist congress in Leipzig. The around 250 participants from the specialist trade, industry and processing sectors used the event to exchange ideas, analyse current market developments and jointly set the course for the coming year.
"The GALABAU innovativ specialist congress is an important format for us to bring together market requirements, technical topics and partnerships," explains Matthias Meinelt, Head of Specialisation GALABAU SPECIALIST TRADE. "The personal exchange and direct feedback provide valuable impetus for the further development of our cooperation within the network."
A fixed item on the programme is the awarding of the GALABAU innovativ project competition. The winner was Volker Kreye Garten- und Landschaftsbau, 2nd place went to Dennis Schouten Garten- und Landschaftsbau, and the company Vierthaler Garten- und Landschaftsbau took 3rd place. The audience award went to Thomas Fischer Garten- und Landschaftsbau.
In addition to the awards of the GALABAU innovativ project competition, the Industry Champion 2025 was also honoured. With great pleasure, our commercial director Stefan Ackermann and our head of application technology Fabian Steinbach were able to accept this special award on behalf of the entire GftK team.
The award recognises the close and collaborative cooperation with the hagebau specialist dealers. The basis for the award is a dealer survey in which industry partners are evaluated across various specialisations. This particularly honours cooperation, service and support in the landscaping sector.
We would like to thank hagebau, as well as our customers and contacts in the building materials trade. Naturally, we are doing everything we can not only to maintain our services at the usual high level, but also to continuously expand them.
