  The response to oils+fats 2007 among companies in the oils and fats industry has been very positive: to date more than 40 companies have registered for the International Trade Fair for the Manufacture and Processing of Oils and Fats Made from Renewable Raw Materials. The companies exhibiting at oils+fats include leading manufacturers in the plant and machine-building sector such as Harburg-Freudenberger Maschinenbau GmbH, the Desmet Ballestra Group, Westfalia Seperator Industry GmbH, CIMBRIA Sket GmbH, Europa Crown Ltd. and Lurgi AG.
  
  "Despite the short planning phase, many of the industry's key players as well as smaller, specialized companies have decided to participate in oils+fats 2007," says Norbert Bargmann, the Managing Director responsible for the fair. "That shows us that the industry identifies with the oils+fats concept. This is our premiere event, and we are satisfied with the current number of exhibitors, particularly given the fact that we did not approach the market with oils+fats until February."
  
  When it established oils+fats, Munich International Trade Fairs pooled the necessary expertise and commercial potential to give the oils and fats industry an optimum forum. oils+fats is the only international trade fair to focus on the manufacture and processing of oils and fats, which makes it the perfect platform for establishing business contacts and exchanging ideas and information with leading manufacturers, opinion leaders and business executives. The fair will also be rounded out by an attractive program of related events.
  
  oils+fats covers the entire process for manufacturing and processing oils and fats. It gives industry experts and decision-makers a practice-oriented look at the industry and at innovations and solutions for producing oils and fats. That makes oils+fats the most important industry gathering for experts and decision-makers in the oils and fats industry.
  
  oils+fats has also met with widespread approval among trade associations, the media and other organizations in the oils and fats industry. oils+fats is supported by the European Federation for the Science and Technology of Lipids (Euro Fed Lipid), the fair's conceptual and technical sponsor, and by UFOP (Union for the Promotion of Oils and Protein Plants), BDOel (Federal Association of Decentralized Oil Mills), soyatech, and the Coordinating Office for Renewable Raw Materials (C.A.R.M.E.N.).
