What our exhibitors say about h+h cologne:

At h+h, we want to showcase our brands Pro Lana and Woolly Hug’s, meet new customers both from Germany and abroad, and strengthen our relationships with existing customers. The opportunity to engage with industry partners is also important to us.

Jonas Langendorf, Authorised officer, Langendorf & Keller GmbH

h+h cologne is a very special show for us, this is where we meet all our customers from around the world. Always super nice to meet face to face, and not only by email and phone calls. This is also a way for us to show the world what we are working on, new colors and new designs.
