Following the success of the Nantes edition of the D*FIBOIS trade show in 2009, the 20 "Wood & Derivatives and Roofing" cooperatives of the ORCAB network - Organization of Purchasing Cooperatives for Building Tradespeople - are gathering in Angers for the 2nd edition of this trade show. This is an opportunity for this network of building tradespeople to demonstrate its position, display its ambition, and make this event an essential meeting place in the profession.

ORCAB invites the member artisans joiners, carpenters, roofers, fitters, to meet and exchange with its suppliers (nearly 200) at the Angers exhibition center March 31 and April 1, 2011 that holds the top spot. " We wanted to maintain the dynamism and spirit of our first meeting in a new location. Angers has the distinction of being at the center of the highest concentration of ORCAB wood cooperatives, which guarantees good visibility for our offerings.", explains Christian Tymen, President of D*FIBOIS and director of the ARBA cooperative.

For this new edition, 20 cooperatives will be present with 200 exhibitors and nearly 3000 artisan visitors expected.

For the many companies present, this exhibition will be the time and place to get to know the new products, their implementation, - this directly with the suppliers -, to keep informed of the new regulations, but also to discover or develop what makes the strength of the ORCAB cooperative movement: solidarity, support, the desire to progress together through mutual aid and teamwork.

By pooling their resources, ORCAB's cooperative artisans take their destiny into their own hands, create and maintain jobs, and share their experiences and expertise. They also have the assurance of a competitive global offering, and their cooperative's strong storage capacity ensures immediate product availability.

A true place of exchange of the profession, D*FIBOIS will allow participants to become aware of the power and economic weight that they represent by coming together.
