A packed house at interpack 2014

Interpack 2014, which came to a close May 14, was characterized by an outstanding atmosphere among the approximately 2,700 exhibitors and 175,000 visitors in the 19 halls of the completely booked Düsseldorf Exhibition Center.

Exhibitors met with numerous high-ranking visitors from all around the globe. A lot of the exhibitors had so many attendees at their stands that they reached their capacity limits several times. According to the exhibitors, visitor interest and qualification as well as their willingness to invest were clearly higher than at the excellent previous event in 2011. Many exhibitors rated the concrete business deals and sales concluded, which partially were spontaneous, as particularly positive.

Friedbert Klefenz, President of the interpack Exhibitors’ Advisory Board 2014 and President of Bosch Packaging Technology, stated: “We are very satisfied with the quantity and quality of the visitors at our stand. The interest in our technologies that make a vital contribution to global health and nutrition was enormous. We are pleased with the high number of leads received, including many top executives and potential new customers. Similar comments were made by other exhibitors. We were equally thrilled by the high number of international visitors and exhibitors – some 75% of the exhibiting companies are headquartered outside of Germany. With these results, interpack has confirmed its status as the world’s No. 1 trade fair for the packaging sector.”
