ZELLCHEMING-Expo 2011 Closes with Successful Business Links

At ZELLCHEMING-Expo 2011, in Wiesbaden, Germany, June 28-30, a total of 236 exhibitors from 19 countries presented their products and services in more than 7,800 sq. meters of exhibition floor space. Expo organizers note that due to the ongoing difficult economic situation in some areas of the industry, a moderate decline of around 6% was posted both in attendance by exhibitors and in floor space booked. With a share of 36%, it was possible to match the previous year's level of foreign visitors.

Altogether, 2,715 professionals visited the event over the three days. This represents a drop of about 14% compared with 2010. The share of foreign visitors continues to remain steady at more than 24%.

Once again, current issues and topics concerning future perspectives were addressed in the lectures and intense discussions. The traditional ZELLCHEMING summer evening function as well as the VDMA evening and the Finnish reception rounded out the event.

After careful consideration, the ZELLCHEMING e.V. association says it has decided to continue holding the ZELLCHEMING-Expo annually in conjunction with the annual general meeting of the association. The biggest annual event in the pulp and paper industry in Europe, ZELLCHEMING-Expo will take place again next year in Wiesbaden on June 26 - 28.
