Klaus Schr\u00f6ter<\/strong>, Managing Director of Schr\u00f6ter Technologie GmbH & Co. KG and Chairman of the VDMA's Meat Processing Machinery Division, explains: \u201eThere is a real need in the industry for huge need for personal exchange<\/strong>. On behalf of the exhibitors, I would like to emphasise that we need Iffa as a strong international platform this year and look forward to presenting our innovations to the trade public.

For the Iffa year 2022, the food machinery industry is expecting an even greater Higher sales growth than in 2021<\/strong>. On the one hand, because the existing orders from 2021 will be converted into sales this year. On the other hand, the continuing good demand situation, the strong trend towards automation and digitalisation as well as product innovations would give every reason to have positive expectations for the world's leading trade fair.<\/p>\n

In these volatile times of the pandemic, good preparation for trade fair participation is more important than ever. \u201eIffa offers a safe environment for contacts, business and inspiration,\u201c says Wolfgang Marzin<\/strong>, Chairman of the Board of Management of Messe Frankfurt. \u201eOur protection and hygiene concept, which has been coordinated with the authorities, has already been successfully implemented at many face-to-face events. And just like everywhere else, the same applies to us: those who are vaccinated and boostered have the greatest possible freedom of action.\u201c<\/p>
