ZELLCHEMING-Expo 2016: Attractive knowledge and information platform with high networking potential Dear ipw reader, only one week and our event will start from 28 – 30 June 2016. Almost 160 exhibitors provide interesting insights into products and services along the process chain of the pulp and paper production at the exhibition ground in Frankfurt. Besides well-known key players like Gebr. Bellmer, Siemens, Pöyry, Valmet and Voith Paper also a lot of smaller medium-sized companies will be on-site. Furthermore, various first-time exhibitors present themselves to a highly competent audience of industry professionals and showcase their expertise at the "Newcomer Pavilion". ZELLCHEMING-Expo is not only the most influential German industry gathering but also the only exhibition of the European pulp and paper industry as well as their suppliers in Europe’s biggest paper manufacturing nation and attracts many visitors beyond its borders. This year the share of international exhibitors is with approximately 40 per cent equal to the previous event 2015. The top three international exhibiting companies 2016 are Finland, Italy and the USA. Further sources of information are available at the congress which is held in parallel to the exhibition. In addition to that visitors can gather more knowledge at the trend lounge’s market place "Fibers in Process". In more than 50 different lectures, recognized experts give a comprehensive overview of hot topics currently at the very heart of the industry. Whereas the congress especially focuses on raw materials and fibers, raw material waste paper or new materials in the field of polysaccharide research, the market place gives valuable insight into topics like process optimization, resource efficiency or energy recovery. The multifaceted fringe program of ZELLCHEMING-Expo offers visitors the possibility to get connected with the industry. The already established evening events enable participants to continue conversations in a relaxed atmosphere and to expand their network. On the first day of the event, the "After Fair" takes place in the foyer of hall 11.0. The "Summer Evening" of the association ZELLCHEMING e.V. invites into "Depot 1899", a traditional restaurant in the former tram railway station in Frankfurt a. M. Visitors can look forward to a diversified program in an appealing atmosphere. The exhibitor list of ZELLCHEMING-Expo, the congress program as well as the exhibition and congress registration are available online at www.zellcheming-expo.com. Looking forward to see you next week in Frankfurt! Sincerely,Petra Hanke ZELLCHEMING Executive Director |
