As German trade show IMA prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary in Dusseldorf next week, the presence of exhibitors from Spain, the UK, Poland, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Czech Republic and even as far as Korea, will further cement the exhibition as an event that attracts an international following.
One reason for IMA’s growing number of visitors and exhibitors from abroad is the systematic further development of the show. Event director Petra Lassahn said: "We maintain close contact with our exhibitors and visitors to be able to take their needs and ideas into account as well as look at the wider picture."
A result of this is the inclusion of two new special zones - Coffee World and the Service Solution Village - while Bowling World continues to be held as a separate exhibition segment for the third year running.
IMA takes place from January 18 to 21.
