As we bid farewell to 2024, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the milestones and moments that shaped the year for us at SBi Garage Doors. From participating in industry-defining events to strengthening relationships with our distributors and customers, this year has been one of innovation, collaboration, and growth.
Exploring the Future at the R+T Messe Stuttgart
Our attendance at the prestigious R+T Messe Stuttgart—the global benchmark for roller shutters, doors, and gates—was a highlight of the year. While we visited as guests, the experience was nothing short of transformative. The event showcased groundbreaking trends like smart automation, where garage doors can now be seamlessly controlled via apps, voice commands, or even AI-driven systems. Innovations in sustainability also stood out, with eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient technologies paving the way for a greener future.
What impressed us most was the focus on safety enhancements, including advanced locking mechanisms and obstacle detection systems. These developments are reshaping how we think about security and convenience in garage doors. We’re excited to incorporate these insights into our offerings moving forward.
Take a look at our report with Harry straight from R+T! Harry captured key highlights and shared his insights into the most exciting innovations on display. Check out the video [here](YouTube Link Placeholder) to experience the event through his eyes.
Participation in R+T Shanghai 2024
In addition to the exhibition in Stuttgart, a colleague of ours had the opportunity to attend R+T Shanghai 2024 as part of the “Hosted Buyer Program.” This event provided an incredible chance to establish international connections and enrich our knowledge of global trends in the industry.
“I represent the company SBI Group, which specialises in the production of garage doors, industrial doors, roller shutters, and gates. I was invited by the organisers of R+T Asia to participate in the Hosted Buyer Program, which was an excellent opportunity for the exchange of valuable information and knowledge. It’s wonderful to be part of such an event!”
–Radoslav Kadiyski, Director of SBI Group, United Kingdom.
