ACHEMA: no longer primarily a shop-window for German technology
3813 exhibitors from 56 countries participated at ACHEMA 2015, the triennial chemical industry event which took place last week at its customary Frankfurt am Main venue. For the first time more than half of the exhibitors (53.9%) came from outside Germany. China was second in the exhibitor number rankings behind Germany, being ahead of Italy by the narrowest of margins. There was also a substantial increase in the number of companies from Turkey, Taiwan and India. Austria, the UK and Spain showed the largest increase in the EU region. France and the USA were again well represented.
The event attracted 166,444 trade visitors from around the world. “Initial figures indicate that visitor length of stay has reached a turning point,” said Thomas Scheuring, CEO of DECHEMA Ausstellungs-GmbH. “Visitors came to the exhibition grounds on more than one day. They had specific interests and they took all the time they needed to gather a large volume of information.” The extensive range of new products combined with the launching of new technologies underline the importance of ACHEMA as the ‘world innovation summit’, not just for the chemical industry but for pharmaceutical and food industries as well. The next ACHEMA takes place 11-15 June 2018 in Frankfurt. www.achema.de
