"All the financial indicators show that the positive trend is continuing, thanks to the Hermes+ program initiated in 2008. We are keeping our word: Deutsche Messe will continue to operate and grow on the basis of its own resources and, over a four-year period, will reach its target of achieving a cumulative profit."

The German Supervisory Board laid the groundwork for the rebuilding of two halls in the Exhibition Center along with a Board approval of capital spending worth more than €60 million, the largest investment package in over 10 years.

Construction on the halls is scheduled to begin this year and will be completed by year 2015.
