The three trade shows Solids, Recycling-Technik and Pumps and Valves in Dortmund proved to be a resounding success and demonstrated how much potential there was in the industries.
On the 29 and 30 March, a total of 5,251 visitors attended the two-day event which concentrated on process and recycling technologies.
In addition to the exhibition, the audience was particularly enthusiastic about the top-class supporting programme and lectures that were offered.
Topics such as plastic and building material recycling, or digitalisation were the focus of the presentations.
On the new Impuls Centre stage, keynote speakers from outside the industry also allowed visitors to look beyond their own horizons.
The 341 exhibitors were correspondingly satisfied with the number of visitors and the quality of the contacts.
Intensive discussions characterised the trade show days at the stands, as many of the visitors were looking for technical solutions for specific projects in addition to general suggestions.
"The event was full of exciting conversations and interested trade visitors at the booth. We were very busy and are confident that some promising orders will result from the conversations,” said Ulrike Schrage, partner by SCHRAGE Anlagenbau.
"I particularly liked the lecture programme. Top experts highlighted the latest trends and developments and gave innovative impulses on current topics from the industry," said Franz Bogler, GBA Gesellschaft für Bioanalytik.
The offers of the workshop to actively participate or contribute to a panel discussion were gladly accepted by the audience.
The audience was also impressed by the programme on the new Impuls Center stage. With varied keynotes, the speakers invited the audience to look beyond the horizon of their own company. Companies such as Horváth or everdrop, for example, provided information on sustainably designed supply chains or recyclable packaging concepts.
At the request of many exhibitors, Solids and Recycling-Technik Dortmund will return to its 18-month cycle and will take place on the 9 and 10 October 2024.
Those who do not want to wait that long can already immerse themselves in the world of bulk solids at the new Solids Parma in Italy on the 14 and 15 June 2023.
Pumps & Valves will remain an annual event and will once again be held together with Maintenance in Dortmund on the 21 and 22 February 2024.
