Most successful IFAT ever

May 12, 2008

IFAT 2008, 15th International Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Refuse and Recycling, which took place from May 5-9 at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre, set new records.

During the 5 days of the trade fair, 2,560 exhibitors from 44 countries offered innovative products and services in the fields of water, sewage, waste and recycling. The number of exhibitors rose by 15 percent compared to the previous IFAT in 2005.

120,000 trade visitors from 163 countries attended the show which indicates a rise of 10 percent compared to the previous event. The international participation was very high, just over one third. In total, 54 exhibitors from the United States presented their new products and innovations. 12 of them were part of the pavilion organized by the Water Environment Federation (WEF). Among the high-class visitors was Eric G. Nelson, U.S. Consul General in Munich, who toured the fairgrounds and in particular the US exhibitors to explore the new innovations of his home country.

These results confirm that “IFAT is the world’s biggest and most important trade fair for environmental technology and services”, as Eugen Egetenmeir, Deputy Director of Messe Muenchen GmbH, stated.
