國內健身器材業中部擴產 資料來源:中時電子報

國內健身器材業最近不約而同在中部擴產,喬山健康科技計畫投資2億多元,在位於台中的旗下台灣廠,擴充焊接及塗裝產能;明躍國際在彰化埔心新廠,再砸下1億元,興建辦公大樓,預定今年底完成;岱宇國際旗下彰化伸港廠,砸下2億多元,原地重建1棟新廠,預定5月落成。

喬山除了台灣廠擴產外,旗下大陸上海嘉定馬陸廠的控制板、馬達、跑帶、跑板、滾輪和塑膠射出等關鍵零組件,及健身器材組裝線,去年已先遷移到旗下朱橋廠;另上海嘉定市政府當局,已在喬山的朱橋廠附近,再提供50畝的土地,供喬山建廠。

喬山董事長羅崑泉表示,未來大陸新廠,將做為關鍵零組件廠,並建置2條大陸內銷的健身器材組裝線,就近供應大陸市場。至於新廠的投資金額,公司還在評估中。

明躍總經理吳樹曜透露,已在彰化埔心購置尚鋒興業舊廠房,占地面積9,600坪,公司共投資2億元,增設新廠生產線及興建辦公大樓。其中,新廠房4條生產線,已建置完成,並已將旗下霧峰廠的生產線,全數遷移至埔心廠。 為讓廠辦合一,明躍將興建樓高3樓半的辦公大樓,目前已遞件申請建照,預定今年底完工啟用。明躍國際健康科技近幾年推出Life Span品牌的辦公兼運動健身器材(WPS),已取得美國白宮、Google、亞馬遜及3M等政府或知名企業的採購案,頓時成為另類的台灣之光。提倡「貼身健康秘書」(Interactive Health Partner,IHP),獲選為「美國運動醫學會」提倡的「運動即良藥」(Exercise is Medicine)活動的獨家技術夥伴。IHP所需健身器材的硬體設備,是由義大利健身器材廠Technogym負責;明躍負責軟體開發,雙方齊力搶攻健康管理市場商機。

同樣地,岱宇旗下彰化伸港廠房,102年8月17日發生火災,廠房遭損毀後,已獲保險理賠。岱宇策略長何介舜透露,公司砸下2億多元,在原地重建1棟廠房,計畫再增加生產線,預定今年5月完成。

替Life代工電動跑步機的力山工業,雖沒有在台灣擴廠,但旗下浙江新廠已正式啟用,新廠面積,較原有的蕭山廠,多出1倍,可因應公司未來訂單需求。至於蕭山廠土地徵收案,最快明年會明朗化。

力山蕭山舊廠土地面積約65畝,1992年取得,當時,每畝土地取得成本約5.4萬元人民幣,因舊廠位置,已鄰近地鐵站、五星級酒店與商場,使得當地土地行情看俏,法人因而看好力山未來處分舊廠的潛在處分利益。

2015 FIBO活動概要

 12 April 2015  

 

FIBO breaks all-time records
138,000 visitors descend on Cologne

 

Another FIBO, another record-breaking event: boasting a total of 138,000 visitors over four event days, the Leading International Trade Show for Fitness, Wellness and Health continued its successful run of recent years and recorded another attendance increase of 22,000 visitors (19 per cent) over last year. Altogether 725 exhibitors from 40 nations (prior year: 697 – plus 4.0 per cent) presented the latest fitness and health industry trends and innovations on a floor space of 130,000 m².

 

“FIBO is among the leading trade fairs with the strongest growth momentum worldwide”, says Hans-Joachim Erbel, CEO of organiser Reed Exhibitions Deutschland. In the span of only five years, FIBO managed to almost triple attendance and boost the number of exhibiting companies by nearly 50 per cent. Back in 2010, when FIBO was staged in Essen, 53,000 visitors and 560 exhibitors attended the industry trade fair. “The scale of this development is unparalleled in the international trade fair business“, says Erbel. Again this year, the altogether 58,000 tickets allocated to private visitors had already sold out before the show even started.  
“The development of the fitness and health market continues with strong momentum and the industry is still on the up and up, as this year’s FIBO helped to underscore”, says FIBO Director Ralph Scholz. More than nine million Germans hold gym memberships today, which is more than eleven per cent of the total population and another six per cent more than a year ago. More than 50 million people train in fitness and health facilities Europe-wide.

 

And, as the economic trend index tallied at FIBO by an independent market research company confirms, prospects remain bright. The results showed that nearly 60 per cent of surveyed companies expect business to continue to grow or grow strongly; only eleven per cent forecast a slight business cool-down. The pronounced readiness to invest seen at FIBO matched those findings. Over 40 per cent of trade visitors came to Cologne with concrete plans to invest. A third of them placed orders of 50,000 euros or more while the trade fair was still ongoing. And six per cent of them closed deals valued at over half a million euros. 

 

This development was buoyed in equal parts by domestic German and foreign demand, as Marco Jakobs, sales director of Johnson Health Tech GmbH, emphasises: “Massive numbers of both national and international customers and prospects frequented our stand, especially on the first two days. We are entirely satisfied with the outcome.” In all, one in five trade visitors came from outside Germany, including the 320 leaders from 28 nations who participated in the “2nd European Health & Fitness Forum” held in conjunction with FIBO.

 

“In our continued quest to improve FIBO, we’re paying special attention to visitor composition. This includes internationalising the event as well as further enhancing FIBO’s trade visitor profile in its role as the leading trade fair worldwide”, says Scholz, who also announced the incorporation of additional hall space next year. For good reason: more than 80 per cent of FIBO 2016’s stand space has been booked already. 

 

Fitness fans, too, can look forward to new highlights in 2016. Plans include FIBO fitness festivals in four locations across Germany aimed at bringing together the fitness community and getting even more people excited about fitness.   

 

The next FIBO will take place at the Exhibition Centre Cologne from 7 to 10 April 2016.

Exhibitor statements

“FIBO is a show that gives the opportunity not only to meet with customers from around the world but it gives the opportunity to meet with a lot of our key-distributors as well. So it is a combination of both, customer-facing and distributor-facing. It is a very important show for us. We look forward to it every year, look forward to seeing everyone and we look forward to the environment, because there is a lot of energy here.”
Chris Clawson, President, Life Fitness

 

“I think for the industry FIBO plays a critical role. It is still important to tell the general public about the benefits of exercise and FIBO has done a great job in bringing that message to a broader public. Especially over the last years we have seen some more international presence, which is good for all of the industry. I wish this to continue and to grow further so we can reach more people to get more active and stay healthy.”

Arie van Winkelhof, Managing Director, gym80 International GmbH

 

“FIBO came through for us once again as a reliable trade fair partner and professional platform for numerous investment decisions in favour of milon. I’d like to use this opportunity to say congratulations on 30 years of developing the fitness and health industry.”

Thilo Stumpf, Marketing Director, milon industries GmbH

 

“FIBO was beyond successful for us. Our new stand concept was exceptionally well received and strikingly showcased the entire spectrum of our portfolio. Our new functional training products turned out to be real audience magnets. Massive numbers of both national and international customers and prospects frequented our stand, especially on the first two days. We are entirely satisfied with the outcome.”

Marco Jakobs, Commercial Sales Director, Johnson Health Tech GmbH 

 

“We made excellent contacts and had great talks at our stand. Visitor quality was very good, especially on Thursday and Friday. Year after year, the trade fair gets more international. Coming from the physical therapy sector, we did meet the people we had hoped to meet here.”

Helmut Wahlich, Area Sales Manager Germany, proxomed Medizintechnik GmbH

 

“We use FIBO to enhance our image, to demonstrate advancements in the market, and of course to establish new contacts and maintain existing ones. We feature new trends in order to show that the fitness market is moving, in part, toward wellness. As such, FIBO is exactly the right platform – as well as the most interesting one – for the fitness studio segment.”

Frank Schneider, Area Sales Manager, KLAFS GmbH & Co. KG

 

“FIBO is the ideal platform for our steadily growing international market. This year’s contacts and the positive feedback from more than 600 customers from 40 countries validate our efforts to create top-notch comprehensive functional training solutions that are customisable and resolutely innovative. The trade fair focussed on the functional and cross training themes. We are particularly delighted by the success of two products we launched at FIBO: the Core Momentum Trainer and the Escape Deck 2.0. In addition, FIBO marked the start of a forward-looking partnership between Escape Fitness and Gym80. And, last but not least, it provided a stage for our functional and cross training stand show, which was a huge success thanks to the performance of our entire team. We already look forward to next year!”
Matthew Januszek, CEO, and Tino Tsolakis, Head of Business Development, Escape Fitness

 

“The quality of business contacts this year was excellent. High numbers of consumers visited our stand. Particularly awesome this year was the atmosphere at the trade fair. One highlight for us was that we were equally busy on all show days.”

Matthias Orth, CEO, Venice Beach

 

“We were very busy at FIBO, especially on the trade visitor days. Our visitors were very interested in what we had to offer, which meant that we closed some great deals. Compared to recent years, we had significantly more visitors, especially from abroad. Notably strong contingents came from Asia, the Netherlands, the United States and Scandinavia – basically every continent was represented. We are very satisfied and will definitely be back again next year.”

Tilo Süßkoch, Associate Managing Director, Muskelkater Sport Köln GmbH

 

“We were extremely successful. It was the first time that we came officially and the feedback is extremely positive. We were here just to show our product – that’s the key of success for us. We sold 50 pairs of shoes every day – only online and with no fair discount. That’s really good for us. Our customers came from USA, Spain, Turkey, India, Italy – they came from everywhere. We are very happy and will come definitely next year again.”

Riccardo Aragona, Marketing Manager, VIBRAM fivefingers

 

 

“Our entire team invested a lot in the upfront preparations that enabled our presence here, but the efforts were well worth it! We met all of our key contacts – both German and international – at FIBO POWER. Going forward, a few more trade visitors wouldn’t hurt, but overall we’re very satisfied and will definitely return next year.”
Rubén Castelló Navarro, Commercial Director, Amix Levante, S.L.

 

“We recorded very high visitor numbers and were able to establish great contacts, especially on Thursday and Friday. Many business contacts came from France as well as from Dubai and elsewhere in Europe – it was better than in previous years. All in all we had a fantastic trade fair – we’re very satisfied.”
Manuela Mahlich, Product Manager, Weider Germany GmbH
