FILTECH - indispensible for catching up on F&S and affiliated innovations
The world of filtration and separation came to Wiesbaden for FILTECH 2011 from 22-24 March. During these three days, over 5200 participants from 73 countries visited the leading filtration and separation (F&S) event to catch up on innovations and equipment as well as related cutting edge products and services displayed at the show. The reported number of contacts and the deals made at FILTECH 2011 clearly marked a willingness to invest and reflected the positive market development in the F&S sector. The show featured 230 exhibitors and was accompanied by a three day conference that attracted close to 500 experts, problem solvers, and all those interested in the latest F&S research from around the globe.
With an encouraging increase of exhibitors by 46% and visitors by 38%, FILTECH reaffirms its claim to be the largest special interest event world-wide devoted to filtration and separation technology. FILTECH also successfully extended its range and featured many closely associated industries, among these were adhesive applications, activated carbon, plasma treatment technologies, cutting, ultrasonic welding and sewing innovations as textile machinery.
56% of the visitors travelled to Wiesbaden from outside Germany to learn what’s new in the market, making FILTECH an intercultural experience. (Western Europe 28%, Asia 10%, Eastern Europe 9%, North/South America 5%, Middle East 4%).
But it is not only these figures that added up to the success of FILTECH 2011: The exhibition was accompanied by a three day conference during which the latest advances and techniques in liquid/solid and gas/particle separation were presented and discussed. More than 180 papers attracted close to 500 delegates from all over the world, a truly international audience. For three days, Wiesbaden was the platform of knowledge for all filtration and separation related topics.
For many years now, FILTECH is an indispensible event for catching up on newest products and developments, cultivating contacts and generating business. Once more, these expectations were fulfilled - exhibitors, delegates and organizers are highly satisfied with the outcome of the event.
