The registration figures are already very promising at this early stage. Organizers have posted a strong increase in attendance from Turkey, India and Taiwan, already exceeding the final exhibitor numbers of 2018. In addition to this, strong participation from the traditional exhibitor regions Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Central and Eastern Europe points to new record exhibitor figures for next year.
“The registration figures, which are very promising so far, confirm that our exhibitors refuse to be influenced by global economic fluctuations in this industry,” delights Daniel Ryfisch, Deputy Director Metals and Flow Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf.
