In this twin-edition of EPP and EPP Europe the focus is mainly on views, news and trends of this year’s Productronica.
The special exhibition focal points of microproduction, photovoltaics and organic electronics were well received. In addition, the portfolio of Productronica ranges from production technologies for semiconductors, displays and circuit boards to material processing and placement technology, product finishing and all the way to measuring and testing technology and quality assurance. Consequently, the show reflected the complete value-added chain of electronics production comprehensively.
The fact that large sections of the electronics production industry were in a good mood was confirmed not only by almost all exhibitors and visitors, but also by the market figures presented by the industry associations VDMA and ZVEI before and during the trade fair.
The global market gathered in Munich. 45 % of all visitors came from other countries (2005: 41 %), and thus the trade show was again able to increase the share of international visitors. The same applies to international exhibitors, which exceeded the 38 % of 2005 with 40 % this year. Consequently, Productronica is the leading trade fair worldwide for electronics production with the highest degree of internationalism and has clearly underlined its claim to be a leading world trade fair.
The aisles may not have been packed, but exhibitors again assessed the quality of visitors very positively. 86 % (2005: 87 %) of them evaluated them with excellent to good. A large number of new contacts have been established, demands have been very well qualified, and many new purchase contacts have been made.
Best wishes,
