An impressive trade fair appearance and main sponsor of the 2025 dive award
In January, the boot 2025 trade fair opened its doors in Düsseldorf. Anyone entering Hall 12 to immerse themselves in the fascinating underwater world is sure to have stopped in front of the BAUER KOMPRESSOREN stand.
Famous for its witty and innovative exhibition stands, the BAUER team has come up with another great idea this year: the compressors on display are foaming at the sea, the units are standing on rocks and, looking up at the ceiling, you can see the glowing northern lights.
Visitors were invited to make themselves comfortable in a cosy wooden hut by the fireplace. On closer inspection, it was an (almost) perfect illusion. The seabed had been printed and the northern lights turned out to be waving gauze ribbons illuminated with turquoise light.
Of course, the legendary JUNIOR diving compressor was the star of the Bauer stand. The Junior has just celebrated its 30th anniversary. Thanks to its reliability and compact design, it is a popular choice for expeditions, such as last year's expedition to see the sockeye salmon in Alaska (The exciting journey of the red salmon) or the Submaris research diving team's expedition to Greenland in 2024. And it is Greenland that brings everything full circle: the Greenland mission has been the trade fair motto and is what gave the stand its look!
