Anuga FoodTec, the international supplier trade fair for the food and beverage industry, taking place from 24 to 27 March 2015 in Cologne, will have a main theme: the broad term “Resource efficiency” will be emphasized across all areas of the trade fair and also represented within the supporting program. Approximately 1,400 suppliers from around 40 countries and 43,000 trade visitors from around 130 countries are expected at the trade fair.
The good registration figures for the coming trade fair can be seen across all sectors of the fair. Famous names appearing at Anuga FoodTec 2015 include, amongst others: Air Liquide, Bischoff + Klein, Bizerba, Bosch Packaging, Bühler, Ecolab, Döhler, DS Smith, Gardner Denver, GEA, Gerhardt Schubert, Grundfos, Albert Handtmann, IMA, JBT FoodTec, Kaswasaki Robotics, KHS, Krones, KSB, Linde, Marcel, Mettler Toledo, Multivac, Pöppelmann, Rockwell, SACMI, Siemens, SKF, SMI, SPX, Taghleef, Thermo Fischer, Ulma, Vemag, Veripack, Voith and Zeppelin.
Certain sections of Anuga FoodTec have seen above-average growth. For this reason, the suppliers for the meat industry will occupy the larger Hall 6 in 2015 (previously Hall 9) where they will present solutions for all processing stages. The same applies for the fruit and vegetable processing industry sector, where participation is also strong, which competently satisfies the demand for different solutions within production processes.
In addition to the traditional focus on processing and packaging, Anuga FoodTec also offers cross-sector solutions for all processing phases and food industries. Under the heading “Services & Solutions” leading companies from the conveyer technology, inert gases and lubricants sectors, among others, will be appearing at Anuga FoodTec. Once again Anuga FoodTec will occupy Halls 4 to 10 of the Cologne exhibitions grounds, which corresponds to a gross exhibition space of 127,000 m².
The topic of “resource efficiency” will unite the individual focuses of the exhibition and place the emphasis on one of the most important issues within the food industry: today a conserving and conscious approach to natural resources is one of the fundamental responsibilities of food and beverage production. As part of Anuga FoodTec, exhibitors will present possibilities and ideas of how to reduce the amount of water, energy, raw materials and food resources used during production. This will be represented as part of the supporting program as well as at the stands of individual exhibitors.
Anuga FoodTec 2015 will also be accompanied by high-caliber conference programs, as well as a “Careers Day”. This initiative facilitates contact between companies exhibiting at Anuga FoodTec and students and graduates from relevant courses of study, which serves to aid the recruitment of new talent in the industry. The “Careers Day” will take place on Friday, 27 March 2015.
Anuga FoodTec is jointly organised by Koelnmesse GmbH and the German Agricultural Society (DLG).
