Testimonials Anuga FoodTec 2018

Anuga FoodTec 2018 was a complete success for our group of companies. This could be seen in the increased number of qualified contacts that we were able to gather during the fair. Furthermore, the international dialogue partners were very open to the automated packaging technology solutions we presented. This is a clear, positive indicator for our expectations of an upward business trend in the food industry.

Anuga FoodTec is a fixed date for us. We are able to reach exactly the right target group of decision makers from industries that are relevant for us. As an exhibitor, the three-year cycle is ideal because it also allows us to react to current trends.

Ansgar Rinklake, Marketing Director
Air Liquide Deutschland GmbH

We are very satisfied with the outcome of Anuga FoodTec 2018. As the market leader for filling and portioning technology, we meet interested trade visitors from the meat processing, dairy, baked goods and confectionery industries in Cologne. Due to this broad focus and the international orientation, the trade fair has become firmly established in our trade fair portfolio. A special highlight was receiving the Anuga FoodTec Gold Medal Award for our new forming system!

Karl Keller, General Manager
Albert Handtmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG

We used ANUGA FoodTec to present innovative developments and interesting exhibits for food applications from our product portfolio. The trade fair turned out very well for us despite the number of predominantly foreign visitors (USA, Asia, etc.). We met several customers and were able to renew contacts and talk about current applications. We were also able to generate one or the other new customer. We plan to participate again in 2021.

Sonja Teschke, Marketing
AxFlow GmbH

It couldn‘t have gone better for us in Cologne. Anuga FoodTec was a complete success and there was really a lot of activity at our trade fair stand. The trade fair brings the right decision makers to the stand.

Julia Schmitt

We had a good amount of people coming to the stand and the leads were better qualified than at ACHEMA. This was defiantly the better show to attend to and we are looking at coming back in 3 years.

Measuring trade fair participation success can only be done after the event. With Anuga FoodTec, we have no doubt!

Estève S.A.S.

The Anuga FoodTec trade fair and its cross-industry, process-oriented offerings meet the needs of the market for flexible solutions, visions and innovations for the current and future requirements of the food industry. It therefore serves as a showcase for us as the leading German manufacturer of butcher and chef knives, sharpening steels, tools and sharpening machines. We were very satisfied with the outcome of the trade fair on every single day. The quality of the visitors was consistently good, they were qualified, came from all the important markets in the world and had a high level of decision-making power. We had many discussions with customers who were interested in buying and expect good post-fair business. In particular, the interest in our new tool dispensing system for safe, fast and efficient supply of goods and tool management via an RFID tool dispensing cabinet shows the visitors' fascination with innovative solutions.

Petra Schleifer, Product Management
Friedr. Dick GmbH & Co. KG

Anuga is a very important trade fair for us because we are represented worldwide in the food and beverage industry with our labelling machines. The trade fair was again a complete success this year and we are looking forward to exhibiting again at the next Anuga to present our latest developments to interested visitors.

Martin Hammerschmid, Managing Director
GERNEP GmbH

The Anuga FoodTec is the most important food related fair for NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, a supplier of drive units to over 100 industry segments. Once again the Anuga FoodTec provided an excellent forum of high quality connections with decision makers from many food segments. The Anuga FoodTec is the trend barometer of the food industry and so our expectations were surpassed in terms of quantity and quality of contacts. Especially our hygiene friendly and corrosion protected drives were in main focus of our visitors. Also we praise the effectiveness of the fair organisators to provide a seamless experience on all areas that seldom come to speech, such as cleanliness, air quality, connections and the trillion little things that went really well. Thank you Anuga FoodTec 2018!

Here at GREIF-VELOX we develop innovative solutions for efficient and hygienic bagging of food. At the Anuga FoodTec we were able to show and explain these to our valuable target group.

Anuga FoodTec is an irreplaceable strategic milestone for Ishida, because it puts out signals as to which segments the food industry will invest in.

Anuga FoodTec is a must for anyone active in the food industry.

The Anuga FoodTec 2018 was a great success for our company. More than 70% of trade visitors came from abroad. We got many concrete requests from all over the world, partly over up to 40 progressing cavity pumps for one project or even from the farthest Caribbean islands. Due to the excellent trade fair process we expect a strong business after the show.

For a leading supplier of mixing technology and related processes like Lödige, food technology is one of the absolute core industries. Anuga FoodTec is therefore an absolute must for us because it has firmly established itself as the leading industry trade fair in this sector in Germany and beyond.

As a leading international trade fair, Anuga FoodTec is particularly important not only for the meat processing industry but the entire food sector. Participation in 2018 was once again very successful and we were able to present many innovations to our international customers and interested visitors.

Andreas Seydelmann, Managing Partner
Maschinenfabrik Seydelmann KG

For MULTIVAC, Anuga FoodTec was the most important leading trade event of 2018 because as a global trade fair it encompasses all areas of food production and processing. It gave us the opportunity to present our comprehensive line and automation expertise to many industry representatives from all over the world. Besides packaging solutions, it was also the first time we introduced portioning and slicing systems that can be integrated in automated packaging lines. Also at the centre of our trade fair presence was our new generation of thermoforming packaging machines, the MULTIVAC X-line.

Tanja Nickels, Press and Public Relations Manager
MULTIVAC Sepp Haggenmüller SE & Co. KG

Anuga FoodTec has become an essential international trade fair for NOCK with visitors from all the meat processing markets that are important for us. We were able to familiarise existing customers with new product and production technologies, especially with our poultry processing machines. Our new customer business has also improved substantially due to the many trade fair contacts. As a whole, the positive development of the past continued at Anuga FoodTec 2018. The trade fair will therefore remain a permanent part of our trade fair portfolios in the future.

Jutta Nock, Managing Director
NOCK Maschinenbau GmbH

The third participation of Pumpenfabrik Wangen GmbH at Anuga FoodTec was also a complete success. With significantly more trade visitors than in 2015, we were able to present and demonstrate the latest developments in the area of hygienic progressive cavity pumps (WANGEN HYLINE) and screw spindle pumps (WANGEN Twin NG) to the visitors and our customers. Anuga FoodTec is one of the most important international leading trade fairs in the food industry for us and we are already looking forward to participating in 2021.

Heiko Kaiser, Sales Manager
Pumpenfabrik Wangen GmbH

At Anuga Foodtec 2018, we were able to make many new contacts with customers, which also resulted in concrete project requests. In addition, our presence at the trade fair led to the final purchase decision for some existing projects. Therefore, we would certainly choose Anuga FoodTec again next time.

Daniela Arndt
roTeg AG

Anuga FoodTec was a big success for us. We were averaging 40 enquiries a day, from all sectors of the food industry.

Peter King, Founder
Spice Application Systems Ltd.

The Anuga FoodTec has proven to be the leading platform for innovative food processing once again. For a quite small company like ours we had great success getting in touch with key decision makers and potential customers. Therefore we gladly participate in the next FoodTec to introduce our company’s products.

Sebastian Kindermann, CEO
Schnitzelmaster GmbH

In our opinion, Anuga FoodTec has become even more attractive and also taken on increased importance. We experienced a greater number and high quality of visitors. We were especially pleased with the high demand from abroad. Specific customer projects were often the basis for the constructive discussions at our stand. Koelnmesse provides the perfect environment for this, especially in terms of infrastructure, support and marketing. Anuga FoodTec therefore served as the ideal platform for us to highlight the challenges in the food industry at a joint stand with our live demonstration of the Wächter packaging machines. This was very well received by the visitors. We will most certainly be exhibiting at the next Anuga FoodTec in 2021 with our own stand!

Jörg Engelmann, Employee
WÄCHTER PACKAUTOMATIK GmbH & Co. KG

The renewed growth in visitor numbers and the increasing internationality of Anuga FoodTec speak for themselves – the trade fair every three years is once again an important platform for all stakeholders in the food industry and also the Weber Group. Where else does the entire industry come together to discover innovations and interact with partners and customers? This makes Anuga FoodTec unique. We are already looking forward to 2021!

Tobias Weber, Managing Director
Weber Maschinenbau GmbH Breidenbach

After 60 years of experience in the food sector and as a manufacturer of vacuum packaging machines, we can justifiably say that for us Anuga FoodTec 2018 has established itself as the most interesting food fair in the machine sector. High-calibre interested professionals, good exhibitor support and the right frequency have all made Anuga FoodTec a key contact point where we will continue to be represented.

Nathalie Bonk
WEBOMATIC Maschinenfabrik GmbH

We felt really good about our trade fair presentation at Anuga FoodTec 2018 in Cologne. The organisation as well as the general conditions on your side were satisfactory in all areas. Also, the exhibit displays at our stand were a complete success for our company. We would like to come back for Anuga FoodTec 2021 and are already looking forward to the days in Cologne.

Ute Heimpel, Assistant to General Manager

For the EUROFLEX team, Anuga FoodTec was an exciting trade fair with many interesting discussions. The many talks with our worldwide business partners allowed us to look at new topics and optimise them in the interest of all partners.
