The 20th edition of POWTECH, which took place 26-28 September in Nuremberg, brought together 835 exhibitors from 29 countries in its six halls at the modern exhibition complex of the event’s owner and organiser NürnbergMesse GmbH. Once again it confirmed its position as the world’s foremost trade fair for powder, bulk solids and particle technologies, with 39% of the exhibitors coming from outside Germany. During the course of the three days the event attracted over 14,000 visitors from a wide spectrum of industries. These ranged from the food, pharmaceutical and chemical sectors, through to construction, ceramics and recycling.

 

About 40% of the visitors came from outside Germany, mainly from Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Czech Republic and Poland. Among the international exhibitors, the largest number came from Italy (59 companies), followed by Switzerland with 34 exhibitors, and the UK with 28. China showed a marked increase with a total of 18 exhibitors this year. The next POWTECH takes place 9-11 April 2019. www.powtech.de
