A total of 63,117 trade visitors from 144 countries came to the leading international trade fair in Frankfurt, and the proportion from abroad was 74%. According to IFFA, 1,019 exhibitors from 52 countries presented machines, technologies and solutions for the entire value chain - from processing and packaging to innovative ingredients and sales trends.
The majority of visitors were from the protein processing industry, but also from the food retail, packaging, butchery and spices industries.
“No distance is too far for IFFA – that has been impressively demonstrated once again,” says Wolfgang Marzin, CEO of Messe Frankfurt. “Three out of four visitors came to Frankfurt from abroad – and especially from outside Europe, for example from the USA, China, South America and Australia.”
Marzin continued: “I was particularly pleased with the feedback on the noticeably positive atmosphere in the halls. Despite the current challenging economic conditions, there was a real spirit of optimism at the stands. IFFA has demonstrated how much innovative power there is in the industry – and that it is ready to invest in the future.”
