The latest edition of the trade show Industrial Processing, held from 5-8 October 2010 in the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, was characterized by innovation. This was prove by the record number of nominations we received for the Process Innovation Award, an award recognizing the best innovation in the field of industrial processes. This view was embraced by many companies and communicated at the trade show by the entire sector. It was also expressed in a renewed interested in the branch, because after a dip, the trend is going up again, according to project manager Marc Klumper. ‘From all sides we are hearing that the willingness to order is increasing. 34% of visitors came to the trade show with specific investment plans, and 20% said the visit to Industrial Processing has resulted in the making of plans to invest.’

There is a great synergy between the trade shows at the Industriële Week. 60% of visitors also attended the other trade shows, Aandrijftechniek, Industry & Automation and Macropak. Two thirds of visitors to Industrial Processing indicated they will be coming again next time. 58% of all visitors is seeing improvements in turnover compared to the previous year.
A broader offering at Industrial Processing
Marc Klumper is satisfied about the share of Solids at Industrial Processing. ‘We also had a large number of exhibitors from the Liquid Processing sector. For the next edition, we would like to increase this share. We are also interested in the lab segment of this industry, and another interesting growth sector is membrane technology. We want our visitors to experience an even more complete selection of the processing industry at Industrial Processing.’
About the Industriële Week 2010
The Industriële Week 2010 took place 5-8 October in the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, with four prominent industrial trade shows: Aandrijftechniek, Industrial Processing, Industry & Automation and Macropak.

For the first time, the Industriële Week was organized with one coordinated theme: ‘Fit for the future, we know how!’ This theme indicates that the Industriële Week is ready for the future. The focus was on five subthemes: energy, environment, partnership, innovation and safety. The next edition of the Industriële Week will be held from 2-5 October 2012.
