“VDMA Process plant and equipment association expects respectable increase for 2017” – “Suppliers of process automation optimistic for 2018” – “Further strong growth of the chemical industry in 2018” – The last weeks have been characterized by positive news from the ACHEMA industries. Thus the organizers are going into the last preparations with optimism. “We are usually reluctant about forecasts”, said Dr. Thomas Scheuring, CEO of DECHEMA Ausstellungs-GmbH. “However, we see significant growth in some exhibition fields such as automation, pharmaceutical, packaging and storage technologies, but also in the mechanical processes group, and this certainly gives reason to positive expectations.” At the ACHEMA Press Preview mid-March it became apparent that all industries and exhibition groups are preoccupied with the “megatrend” digitalization, whether it’s laboratory equipment, plant engineering or packaging and logistics. Exhibitors have

Some 9 months before the start there are unmistakable signs that ACHEMA 2018 will be a crowd-puller. More than 2700 exhibitors from all around the globe have already booked a stand at this leading show for the process industries in Frankfurt am Main. From 11 to 15 June 2018 they will be showcasing their innovations for the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries from laboratory to large-scale plant through to the packaging line. And there is no lack of topics: the energy turnaround, novel antibiotics, water treatment and innovative materials, to name but a few – chemistry and process engineering present solutions for practically all sectors. Given the immense interest of exhibitors, the organizers anticipate a corresponding rush of visitors. More than167,000 participants are needed to exceed the figure for the last event in 2015 which for one week made Frankfurt am Main the epicentre of the global process industries. Those who have not yet booked their space

ACHEMA 2015 ends on a high note The initial feedback received by the organizers of ACHEMA 2015 paints a very favorable picture: positive event statistics, a long list of announcements on business deals and a lot of work for the sales organizations in the weeks ahead to follow up on new leads. ACHEMA attracted slightly more exhibitors this year. Visitor numbers were almost exactly the same as for the previous ACHEMA show. 166,444 trade visitors from around the world made their way to the Frankfurt exhibition grounds on June 15th – 19th, 2015. 3,813 exhibitors from 56 countries put the latest innovations for the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries on display. ACHEMA 2012 attracted 166,447 visitors and 3,773 exhibitors. The extensive range of new products and initial product introductions underline the importance of ACHEMA as the “world innovation summit”. Initial trends indicate that the proportion of international visitors has risen by a significant margin and visitors stayed longer

The global process industry is looking forward to the upcoming event in Frankfurt. Over the course of a week on roughly 132,000 m² of exhibition space starting on June 15th 2015, nearly 3,800 exhibitors will be showcasing their products, technologies and expertise targeted at chemical production and the pharmaceutical and food processing industries. In selecting three focal topics, ACHEMA has identified some main threads which will run through all of the exhibitor groups. Innovative process analytical technology, industrial water management and the BiobasedWorld platform for the bio-based industry and biotechnology are themes which will appear at various points in the exhibition and Congress. ACHEMA Partnering provides a simple means of selectively contacting potential collaboration and business partners in the run up to the show and during the event as well. Following simple free registration you can set up a profile, search and contact other users and arrange to

ACHEMA preparations shift into high gear The countdown is on: from 15 to 19 June 2015 the doors will open on ACHEMA 2015. Over 3,100 exhibitors have already registered but, as in 2012, the organisers anticipate around 3,800. Moreover, the congress programme is shortly to be released. Already a clear trend is emerging: besides the three focal themes BiobasedWorld, Innovative Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and Industrial Water Management, the hot topics of the world forum of the process industry are energy efficiency, materials and materials testing, and safety technology. The number of papers submitted for the congress in these areas is gratifyingly high. In terms of exhibition groups, first and foremost there has been the traditionally keen interest in Instrumentation, Control and Automation Techniques, Mechanical Processes, Laboratory and Analytical Techniques, while to meet the unprecedented demand, additional space has already had to be mobilised for Pharmaceutical, Packaging and Storage Techniques. The

or the first time ACHEMA 2015 is training the spotlight on three major themes: Process Analytical Te It goes without saying that other areas, from laboratory and analytical techniques to packaging machinery, from pumps, valves and fittings to the complete range of process engineering through to plant engineering and construction, will also come into their own. "By selecting three focal themes, we are doing justice to the immense spectrum of ACHEMA, while spotlighting developments that will radically transform the process industry", explains Dr. Thomas Scheuring, CEO of DECHEMA Ausstellungs-GmbH. Practically all areas of the process industry are affected by these focal themes. Process Analytical Technology (PAT) covers far more than "only" real-time measurement. PAT provides input for process optimisation and automation, without which the fundamental changes in process control, such as QBD (Quality by Design), would not be possible. Industrial Water Engineering is yet another topic at the top of the agenda worldwide. Whether it be zero

From 18-22 June 2012 some 3,800 exhibitors and 175,000 visitors will meet at ACHEMA to discuss the c Some eight months before the start, the world"s leading event for chemical process engineering, process technology and biotechnology is overflowing with ideas and energy. The cornerstone of every ACHEMA is the exhibition, which is expected to attract 3,800 exhibitors from all over the world, together with the congress, featuring around 900 papers on cutting-edge topics from research and industrial application. This ACHEMA will focus on issues relating to the energy revolution and the shift in the raw material base; moreover, due to the impact of global networking, there is also a surging interest in innovative security concepts. The reorganisation of the halls has proved to be a boon for ACHEMA "classics", such as the exhibition groups Pumps and Compressors or Instrumentation, Control and Automation Techniques. To date, exhibitors from 49 different countries have already registered; emerging regions, such as India and China, are showing great interest,

The 30th ACHEMA in 2012 will once more be the leading international meeting place for experts and de ACHEMA is already arousing intense interest on the part of exhibitors. The addition of the two-storey Hall 11 to the Frankfurt exhibition grounds has provided a welcome opportunity to showcase the individual exhibition groups better than ever before. Furthermore the western part of the exhibition grounds in particular benefits from the newly created entrance at Hall 11. The distribution of the exhibition groups in the halls has been dramatically reorganized in order to cater better for their individual needs. This chiefly affects the exhibition groups Instrumentation, Control and Automation Techniques and Pumps, Compressors, Valves and Fittings which have been allocated far larger areas than hitherto. Laboratory and Analytical Techniques, Pharmaceutical, Packaging and Storage Techniques and also Mechanical Processes will similarly find the reorganization to their advantage. "At first sight the hall allocation resembles a gigantic chess game", explains

Fruitful discussions, a very high quality of visitors, a positive atmosphere – that’s the summary of exhibitors and organizers at the conclusion of the 8th AchemAsia. The more compact timeline of the International Exhibition-Congress in comparison to former events met the full approval especially of the exhibitors. “The time from Tuesday to Friday could be used even more intensively”, said Dr. Kurt Wagemann, Executive Director of DECHEMA. With 413 exhibitors from 24 countries AchemAsia is the most international event for the process industry in China. With 190 exhibitors, China accounted for the largest group, followed by Germany (118), France (23) and the US (11). The exhibitors also commended the internationality of the visitors.
