Germany’s valve industry is looking forward to the premiere of the Valve World Expo in Dusseldorf, which will take place from 30 November to 2 December 2010 on the fairgrounds next to the Rhine. International exhibitors also have high hopes for this year’s Valve World Expo. The entire exhibition space has been booked and high demand has created the need for a waiting list. All in all, 519 exhibitors from 35 countries will participate in the fair, booking a total space of over 13,500sq/m at the beginning of September. A date for 2012 has already been determined. The trade fair organisers are looking forward to professional visitors from different sectors such as shipbuilding, the marine and offshore industry, the chemical and food industry, the power and automobile industry, as well as mechanical and plant engineering. In addition, experts from the retail sector and beverage industry are also expected to visit Dusseldorf. The international fair and congress for industrial valves will take place from 27 to 29 November 2012 in halls 3, 4 and 5 of the Düsseldorf fairgrounds. The accompanying Valve World Conference will then be hosted again in the Congress Centre South (CCD South), organised by KCI Publishing from The Netherlands.
