Trade Fair 2026

Bajada× The Growth Bully

MFCC Malta Trade Fair, 24 June onwards. The campaign that matches the moment.

Three Things Converge

👑

Group CEO

Daniel Bajada steps into Group CEO during this fair window.

💧

Water Pro Launches

€12 per month subscription. New commercial entity. Public debut.

☀️

PV Grant Window

Finite take-up curve. Highest-intent quarter Bajada will see this year.

The fair is the catalyst. Not the goal.

Each of these alone is a campaign. Together they are a category-defining quarter for Bajada Group, if we move now.

Brand Architecture

Old Positioning

BNE as the brand. Daniel as son of founder. Printed walls. Phone number on a vinyl banner. Same stand concept as 2018.

Worked once. Will not survive a Group CEO appointment and a subscription product launch.

New Positioning

Bajada Group as master brand. Daniel as Group CEO. BNE is one division. Water Pro is a launching division. Solar, Battery, Heat Pump are product zones underneath.

Daniel's new title gets a footprint that matches it.

12 × 6 Metres. Five Zones.

12 METRES 6 M BATTERY ZONE 01 SOLAR ZONE 02 · ROOF HEAT PUMP ZONE 03 Hospitality · Photo Backdrop COFFEE · PASTIZZI · CENTRE STAGE iPad CAPTURE LEAD ENGINE WATER PRO · HEADLINE €12 / MONTH · SUBSCRIPTION LAUNCH FAIR-FACING · MAXIMUM DWELL ▲ FAIR AISLE · VISITORS ENTER ▲

Solar

Warm amber. Rooftop photography. "Solar = zero bill."

Battery

Graphite and teal. Night-time interiors. "Battery = AC stays on."

Heat Pump

Slate blue. Utility-room shots. "Half the bill. Same warmth."

Water Pro · Headline

Mineral blue, chalk white. Subscription messaging. €12 per month.

iPad Capture

Lead form on tablet. GHL pipeline tag. The system Bajada has never had at a fair.

Solar panels on the roof to keep footprint clean. Photo backdrop and hospitality at the centre.

Defer Water Pro

Bajada A€4,995
Bajada B€9,995
