A new face at Messe Frankfurt's leading consumer goods fairs: As from 1 October Aylin Fless will be responsible for the department Marketing Communications Multimedia and Data in the consumer goods fairs sector. As the new Marketing Director, she succeeds Margit Herberth, who is in charge of the household textiles segment at Heimtextil as Show Director since September.

"We are delighted to be working with Aylin Fless to further develop our flagship consumer goods fairs in a digital, innovative and creative way and to offer new communication solutions for our customers," says Julia Uherek, Vice President Consumer Goods Fairs Messe Frankfurt.
