According to the organisers, international guests made up around 70 percent of the audience. There were also delegations from large beverage companies who used the trade fair to make their investment decisions.
The exhibition area covered 74,000 square metres net. There, 1,117 exhibitors from 68 countries presented solutions for the entire beverage and liquid food production value chain. The thematic focus was on modernisation, digitalisation, process optimisation and new recipes and production processes.
New formats and exchange platforms
One of the new offerings was the „Liquidrome“. This interactive area was used for presentations and discussions on future topics in the industry. According to VDMA Managing Director Richard Clemens, the platform was very popular. The offer was complemented by a „Health Bar“, where concepts with a health-orientated focus could be tasted. In addition, 20 start-ups from Germany and abroad presented themselves.
