“The wind power industry is experiencing very rapid growth globally, with constant new demands on workplace safety, and yet falls from height remain one of the greatest dangers,” explains Esther Hafenscher, senior marcom manager of fall protection, Honeywell Safety Products EMEAI. “Feedback from experts and customers is absolutely crucial as the information they give us based on their experiences is essential for the development of our solutions. The international trade fair of WindEnergy in Hamburg is an ideal platform for us to get this feedback in person.”

The inaugural WindEnergy exhibition will be held between September 23-26 in Hamburg, Germany. Honeywell's stand is located at B2.EG.288 in Hall B2
