Two Gold and Two Silver Medals Won at the World’s Largest Inventor’s Tradeshow!
Creative minds from all over the world met April 2nd - 6th in Geneva,
Switzerland to show off their inventions. There was a strong response to the natural,
Hygienic Wood products presented by the Wilms company featuring the benefits of pine
heartwood. Four patents - four awards! An excellent outcome at the
Geneva Exhibition
of Inventions
for Wilms Hygienic Wood.
GENEVA - About 1,000 new ideas were viewed by over 65,000 visitors at the Geneva Exhibition
of Inventions, as it opened in the first week of April. With more than 700 exhibitors from 45
countries, it is represented as the world’s largest fair of its kind.
There was considerable interest in Wilms Hygienic Wood at the Exhibition of Inventions
in Geneva. At the booth, in addition to current products, were visions of the future based
on the hygienic effect of pine heartwood. There was, among other things, a patented air filter
using the hygienic properties of the wood. Also an excellent idea winning a gold medal is the
possibility of using special products from pine heartwood to challenge the growing problem
of mildew in homes. Here the mold-reducing and moisture exchanging properties of the wood
can be used in an effective, natural way.
In addition was the award-winning zero-emission stall for raising chickens. An
illustrative model was used to explain how Hygienic Wood affected the health of animals,
and how this unique wood helps barn climate and reduce the impact of emissions.
"The fair was a great opportunity with an audience very interested in our products
and ideas involving Hygienic Wood.The enormous popularity and the four awards received show
that we are on the right track with our new pine heartwood technology!" commented CEO
Heinrich Wilms.
