- The second oils+fats – the International Trade Fair
for the Manufacture and Processing of Oils and Fats Made from Renewable
Raw Materials, is being held from November 18 – 20, 2008
- 69 of the market's leading manufacturers and 1,100 trade visitors from 58 countries attended the premiere in 2007
- Exhibition survey confirms high quality of visitors at oils+fats
Experts and decision-makers from the oils and fats industry will meet
at the second oils+fats – the International Trade Fair for the
Manufacture and Processing of Oils and Fats Made from Renewable Raw
Materials – at the M,O,C, Event Center from November 18 –
20, 2008 to exchange information about the latest trends and
technological developments and to establish new business ties.
When the fair celebrated its premiere in 2007, which was attended by 69
of the market's leading manufacturers from 14 countries and 1,100 trade
visitors from 58 countries, Munich International Trade Fairs managed to
establish the market's only international trade show for the oils and
fats industry. This was also reflected by an exhibition survey that was
conducted by the independent market-research institute forschungplus:
93 percent of all exhibitors gave oils+fats a rating of good to
excellent for the quality of its visitors. Among other things, that is
because 87 percent of the visitors have decision-making authority in
their companies, and 49 percent are the final decision-making
authority.
The survey also underscored the fact that exhibitors were very
satisfied with the exhibition's premiere: 96 percent of the exhibitors
said that they would recommend oils+fats to others, and just as many
said that they would participate in the fair again.
According to Norbert Bargmann, Managing Director at Munich
International Trade Fairs, "Given the fact that it has a 49% share of
foreign visitors, oils+fats is a tremendous success internationally. We
are very pleased that the premiere was so well received among industry
representatives."
When oils+fats was established in 2007, it gave the rapidly growing
market for oils and fats its first international exhibition. Oils and
fats made from renewable raw materials – whether they are used as
food, fuels or as a basis for manufacturing a number of other products
– are a growth market whose significance continues to grow,
particularly in light of increasingly critical resource shortages.
When oils+fats opens its gates in 2008, once again it will bring
together the necessary expertise and the business know-how and give the
oils and fats industry an optimum forum again this year.
