Anuga FoodTec ‘best ever’ say organisers

The sixth Anuga FoodTec 2012, which closed its doors after four intensive days in Cologne’s Koelnmesse, posted its best event result to date, according to organisers.
Visitor numbers grew by around 25 per cent, totalling more than 42,000 trade visitors from 131 countries.
“Anuga FoodTec was a complete success for the participating sectors,” says Katharina Hamma, chief operating officer of Koelnmesse. “The trade fair’s clear focus on the international food industry in conjunction with the pioneering topics such as food safety, sustainability and resource efficiency has sustainably extended the importance and momentum of Anuga FoodTec as the leading business, technology and know-how platform for the global food industry.
“The proportion of visitors from abroad increased by 16 per cent to 58 per cent, with a particular increase in the number of visitors from eastern Europe — especially from Russia, Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Poland.”
Results of a visitor survey also revealed that more than 83 per cent of attendees considered the product range to be either good or very good.
