3Drinktec closing report
Drinktec 2009 has gathered together the top
decision-makers in the international beverage and
liquid food industry in Munich and in doing so
has given the sector renewed impetus. "Virtually
all the CEOs and Presidents from companies around
the world turned out here," was the unanimous
opinion of the exhibitors, all of them praising
the "extremely high" quality of the visitors.
Intensive talks were held at many stands, laying
the foundations for upcoming investment
decisions many of the exhibitors reported they
had signed up business agreements at the fair.
Even though the climate as regards investment is
still cautious, drinktec 2009 has marked a
turnaround in decision-making. Drinktec confirmed
its reputation as the worlds most important
business and information platform for the sector
in impressive style. It is the world 'summit' for
the beverage and liquid food industry in this,
too, exhibitors and visitors alike were agreed.
Volker Kronseder, Chairman of Krones AG and
President of the Advisory Board of drinktec 2009,
described how he saw the mood in the halls
"People are no longer paralysed with shock, life
is coming back into the sector." It is a view he
shares with many of his colleagues in the sector.
Menno Holterman from Norit also sees light on the
horizon after drinktec 2009. "Theres more
appetite for investment again, so long as the ROI
is right. We have signed up a number of
contracts. A glance at the visitor numbers
confirms the picture seen in the halls. In terms
of international representation, drinktec was
able to expand still further, from an already
high level. 33,000 trade visitors journeyed to
Munich from abroad they came from a total of 170
countries. This again significantly raised the
proportion of international visitors to 55
percent. There were particularly strong rises in
visitor numbers from China, India, the US, South
Africa, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates, and
from South America and Africa. In terms of
visitors from Germany, however, the figures
reflected the expected fall. Around 27,000
visitors in total came from Germany. Overall,
over the six days of the fair, the trade fair
attracted around 60,000 visitors.
