Dear ipw reader,

hall 11 in Frankfurt is filling up more and more. One of the latest entries is the machine manufacturer from Heidenheim: Voith! The preliminary program of the accompanying trade congress will be published in the next issue of ipw. You can expect an extensive and varied program of high-profile speakers - including Dr. Haio Harms, CEO of Kelheim Fibres, Dr. Stefan Karrer, management of Sappi Alfeld, Marco Mensink, Deputy Director General at CEPI, Thomas Strobel, CEO FENWIS on the project retro-formation in the paper industry, and many more.

In addition, "science & innovation" will be featured at the ZELLCHEMING Expo 2014 for the first time. Colleges, universities and research institutes will present their current projects and research programs at our joint booth.

Companies and visitors will have the opportunity to inform themselves at the booths of the exhibitors about the newest techniques and procedures. At the same time they can find suitable partners for research, education and training. We use this platform to present the activities of our association: our aim is to create a bridge between  research , academia and industry. Current and future members are welcome to attend.

This year, we will publish a new ZELLCHEMING Members Directory: Please support the ipw team with your active participation!

Kind regards,

Petra Hanke
Managing Director ZELLCHEMING
