You can read part of this testimonial at the following and at the end download the main long text.
KHS GmbH, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Niemeyer, Chairman of the Board
“With its international orientation interpack is always a highlight for KHS. This year we presented a global premiere: a “block” solution consisting of a packaging and a palletizing machine. We could not image a better backdrop for such a product launch than interpack. The trade fair lives up to our expectations in that we can have a lot of promising conversations here.”
Haas Food Equipment GmbH, Irene Kapaun, Manager Communication & Public Relations
“interpack is part and parcel of business for Haas. We develop our machines in a three-year cycle and orient ourselves towards interpack. Here we present our latest innovations to existing and new customers, many of whom were present this year. It is simply a great advantage that everyone meets here be it on the customers’ or employees’ part; and it is, of course, a very nice occasion to meet the people you only communicate with by e-mail or telephone otherwise. We were very satisfied with visitor attendance this year and succeeded in signing many contracts. In a nutshell: Machinery is sold here.”
Robert Bosch Packaging Technology GmbH, Christa Moedinger, Director Marketing & Communications
“Bosch has been closely linked with interpack from the outset. It is the market place for the entire industry worldwide while defining the innovation cycle for companies at the same time. At Bosch, too, the broad spectrum of new developments is tuned to the three-year cycle of the world’s leading trade fair for packaging technology and processes. On 3,500 square metres of exhibition space with an open and inviting stand design, we have focused on two themes – complete solutions from a single source and a broad-based Industry 4.0 approach – even more strongly this year. 2 And this was received very well by the audience. Visitor numbers were also high again in 2017 – as was the quality of the international visitors.”
Theegarten Pactec, Markus Rustler, Managing Partner
“We always love to come to interpack. Once again our expectations were exceeded. This year we have attracted even more high-quality trade visitors than at previous interpack trade fairs. We are very satisfied with this. We come here to introduce innovations, meet with existing customers, launch new products, and also conclude contracts. One principal objective of the trade fair is addressing potential new customers – which we also succeeded in doing. We managed to make important new and promising contacts. Many customers even come from Iran to see us – you can clearly sense this pioneering spirit. The three-year cycle of interpack suits us very well because it precisely corresponds to our innovation cycle. So after interpack also means before the next interpack to us. And this is why we are already thinking about which innovations to present at interpack in 2020. The demand for networked machinery and equipment both on the shop floor and in the Internet-of-Things is set to rise. We want to leverage the resulting opportunities to make plants even more efficient and attractive for our customers. On the other hand, modularity, a faster changeover of folding types and formats play a decisive role as they did over the past ten years. We have responded massively to our customers’ requirements in terms of flexibility and will continue to do so. No other trade fair is as perfectly organized as interpack. Our employees tremendously enjoy being here. You return home – all in line with the slogan “Welcome Home”.
Bühler, Daniel Troxler, Marketing Director Consumer Foods
“interpack is the leading trade fair for us when it comes to consumer foods. Here we meet all the customers of interest to us. We have enlarged our stand size to 1,700 square metres and focused on the entire process chain rather than just confectionery – from raw material handling to the interface with packaging. This went down very well with our customers and underscores our position not only as a machinery producer but also 3 as a solutions provider. interpack 2017 was a good trade fair for us; we have posted good results across all segments.”
Harro Höfliger Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH, Thomas Weller, CEO
“Participation in interpack is not only an option for us – it is the world’s No.1 trade fair of the packaging industry and therefore being represented here is a given for us. Since Harro Höfliger was established we have also been exhibiting at interpack. Communication is an important asset in our company. At a leading international trade fair we therefore want to present ourselves as Harro Höfliger in which we value being: global, open-minded, transparent and communicative. Our aim is to bring everyone involved in our industry or technology to our stand. Everything we exhibit here – be it products, solutions or show acts – should be remembered by our customers and, hence, also Harro Höfliger. This plays a pivotal role for us. Furthermore, interpack is enormously important for networking. Here we meet all our partners in one place, which saves us plenty of travelling.”
Multivac, Valeska Haux, Senior Director Corporate Marketing
“We have presented our new generation of thermoforming machines as this year’s highlight at interpack and are really very proud and happy how well they were received by our customers. With this Multivac takes an important step in the direction of Industry 4.0. From our customers’ response we can see that the market is ready for such solutions now. The interpack brand attracts a global audience and continues to be the leading event for the packaging theme worldwide. This is also why we always launch our innovations at interpack.”
VDMA, Richard Clemens, Managing Director VDMA Food Processing and Packaging Machinery Association
“Our objective for interpack 2017 was to not only talk about Industry 4.0 but also show application examples. And this was spot on. We were practically overwhelmed with the response. Furthermore, we had many discussions and conversations also with a view to raising medium-sized companies’ awareness for this topic, to show them ways and, of course, also to explain the customer benefit. interpack is and will remain the platform for the packaging and process industries – unconditionally. You always think that certain results cannot be surpassed but the quality of visitors has increased yet again this year. At interpack decisions are taken; most managers stay until the last day. In addition to many different Industry 4.0-related subjects we focused on Africa this year. We want to bring these young, emerging markets to Düsseldorf and say it clear: this is where the opportunities lie.”
