The WAGNER Group is taking part in the new BUILDINX trade fair, the first B2B platform to cover the entire value chain of innovative logistics and industrial property.

As a specialist in fire protection systems, WAGNER will be presenting its pioneering fire protection systems and solutions for the entire industry at BUILDINX 2024 event, at Stand E24, in Hall 5, in Dortmund, from 19 to 21 November, 2024. 

fire protection

After all, fire protection plays a key role in the safety of modern logistics projects - from the protection of property, stored goods, and assets to ensuring operational capability and sustainability goals.

As a component manufacturer, WAGNER is, therefore, an important partner in the logistics and industrial property ecosystem. 

Focus on the future of fire protection 

WAGNER's fire protection technologies contribute to the holistic protection of logistics properties

WAGNER's fire protection technologies contribute to the holistic protection of logistics properties.

They should be taken into account as early as the planning phase of a property, in order to guarantee the highest level of safety for warehouse and logistics processes.

Central aspects are the earliest possible fire detection, which WAGNER ensures with aspirating smoke detectors of the TITANUS® series, as well as active fire prevention with OxyReduct®, which minimizes or eliminates the risk of fire under defined conditions. 

OxyReduct® oxygen reduction system

In particular, fire protection with the OxyReduct® oxygen reduction system offers reliable protection against fires and the resulting fire damage. This innovative technology is often used in logistics facilities to provide preventive protection for closed, automated areas.

By reducing the oxygen level in the area to be protected, an atmosphere is created in which fires cannot start in the first place. The spread of fire is prevented. This also prevents the secondary damage that would be caused by fighting a fire with water-based extinguishing agents or powders. 

innovative cold storage warehouses

Panel discussion 'Hot topic for a very cold environment: innovative fire protection in an innovative cold store'

In this context, visitors to BUILDINX can look forward to the panel discussion 'Hot topic for a very cold environment: innovative fire protection in an innovative cold store'.

Matthew Staley (Executive Vice President of Innovation and Technology at NewCold) and Frank Siedler (Global Account Director of Fire Protection Solutions for Logistics at WAGNER) will discuss the current and future requirements for fire protection in innovative cold storage warehouses.  

Software, digitalization, and sustainability

Dagmar Wolf, Head of Corporate Communications at WAGNER, said, "BUILDINX focuses on how trends and innovations in technology, software, digitalization, and sustainability support the further development of modern logistics and industrial real estate."

He adds, "The rapid transformation process in the industry also requires new approaches and solutions for fire protection in all areas.

Innovative approaches

Dagmar Wolf continues, "We want to raise awareness for the early involvement of fire protection experts in the planning process and will be discussing this topic in many places at the event."

He further said, "With our technologies, we offer precisely those innovative approaches that go beyond the performance and possibilities of traditional systems and thus meet the requirements of modern logistics properties.

The special concept of BUILDINX 

The exhibition area with a total of seven theme clusters is complemented by a high-level conference program

BUILDINX is a cooperation between Messe Dortmund and the Bundesvereinigung Logistik e. V. (German Logistics Association), BVL.

It brings together key players, such as planners, project developers, industrial companies, and logistics service providers.

The exhibition area with a total of seven theme clusters is complemented by a high-level conference program, the Network Area, and the Innovation Arena. 

Ideal networking platform

New formats such as Start-up Mastermind Sessions, Fish Bowl, or the Founders Fight Night also make the event an ideal networking platform for the industry.

WAGNER is a founding member of BUILDINX and, as a long-standing BVL member, has helped to shape the development of the platform. 

Emphasizes trade fair

Dagmar Wolf, a spokeswoman for the BUILDINX focus group within the BVL Logistics Real Estate topic group, emphasizes that the trade fair creates the perfect conditions for expanding one's network, gaining new impetus, and exchanging ideas with partners.

"In addition to the professional exchange, I am personally particularly looking forward to the Founders Fight Night, where two start-ups will compete in an eloquent pitch duel and have to face the critical questions of the expert jury. At the end, the audience will be asked to choose the winner," says Dagmar Wolf.
