The third oils+fats, the International Trade Fair for the Production
and Processing of Oils and Fats made from Renewable Resources, closed a
complete success with a total of 2,600 visitors (2008: 1,200 visitors)
from more than 90 countries (2008: 58 countries). The number of
visitors more than doubled compared to last year.
We look forward to seeing you at the oils+fats 2010 from 24 - 26 November 2010, then again back at the M,O,C, in Munich.

is a small but mighty exhibition that showcases everything that is needed to
produce the most precious vegetable ingredient, i.e. oil. Global production of
vegetable oil has been increasing continuously for decades. May oils+fats continue
to grow with it. Dr. Rupert Schäfer, Ministry Director

very interesting event. A great opportunity to meet professionals of
the oils industry and develop our contacts and businesses. oils+fats
has been a fertile occasion to exchange information and views, too. Claudio Vignoli, Managing Director
Bühler AG The
decision to move oils+fats to the trade-fair centre underscores the fair's
importance. (...) We will definitely take advantage of the next
opportunity to participate in oils+fats. M. Lierau, Head Product & Market
Development
Euro Fed Lipid We
are very pleased that "our" trade fair oils+fats not only took place
in this year of global economic crisis, but that it also had a record-breaking
number of visitors. Exhibitors who had the foresight to book a stand here will
now reap the rewards. The others will just have to wait until the next oils+fats. Frank Amoneit, Managing Director
GEA Westfalia Separator Process
GmbH I
find oils+fats very interesting because, before oils+fats was founded, this
sector did not really have a trade show. All we had were small conferences with
small information booths, but not a real exhibition. Still, this is generally a
very good opportunity for the industry to showcase itself. Dipl.-Ing. Klaus-Peter Eickhoff, Director Renewable
Resources
Harburg-Freudenberger Maschinenbau GmbH Once
again, oils+fats 2009 proved to be a central event and one that is
indispensible for our company. It allowed us to cultivate key customer contacts
and hold intense discussions. For us, this event will remain a must in the
future. Günter Simon, Managing Director
SÜD-CHEMIE AG Very
well organized; plenty of discussions with customers; a good mix of exhibitors
and a very pleasant atmosphere; plenty of good conversations with the other
exhibitors. Dr. Klaus Schultz, Regional Product Manager
Technologie und Förderzentrum
(TFZ) oils+fats is a small, relatively new trade fair with
a prominent group of exhibitors. Given the technological links to drinktec,
there were plenty of good reasons to hold these two events at the same time.
And oils+fats profited from that decision. Visitors included experts and
specialists from the industry and from small and medium-sized enterprises as
well as manufacturers and users from rural areas. Because the biofuels industry
has been badly shaken by political and economic conditions, there were also
some intense discussions about politics in this sub-category at this year's
fair. Dr.
Bernhard Widmann, Director
The Tintometer LTD We were delighted at the
continued interest expressed by many delegates in our new PFXi range of
instruments. oils+fats proved a valuable platform to launch our new web based
calibration service. Matthew Russell, Sales
