Well received for the new trade fair concept
For visitors, the next POWTECH TECHNOPHARM is still a long way off. For exhibitors, however, after the trade fair is before the trade fair. Especially when so many things change, such as the transition from POWTECH to the new POWTECH TECHNOPHARM 2025. Good arguments in favour of participating have already convinced several bookers - both existing and new.
‘We had a very valuable visit to the hall and are looking forward to the new hall layout. A big compliment to the POWTECH team!’ Laura Kneisl, Event Manager, Hosokawa AlpinePharmaceutical technology spread across the exhibition halls
The team is eager to meet everyone, explain the benefits of FACHPACK and PARTEC and, above all, present the ideas for the TECHNOPHARM focus. TECHNOPHARM - it already existed in the past, but more as an addition to POWTECH. Many exhibitors who wanted to reach not only the pharmaceutical industry, but also the cosmetics, food and chemical industries, would have had to split up. That will change in 2025. As is typical for POWTECH, the offerings for hygienic and pharmaceutical process technology will be spread across the exhibition halls. It is precisely the charm of diversity that allows experts from different sectors to engage in dialogue and learn from each other. Numerous topics such as 3D printing, digitalisation and AI affect many sectors anyway, including former ‘pharma specials’ such as MES functions in process control systems, containment solutions and the integration of package units.
‘The addition of TECHNOPHARM enables us to demonstrate our expertise as a process partner for powder formulation and tableting to a wide audience in a bundled form.’ Joachim Dittrich, CEO at Fette CompactingFette Compacting is a prime example of an exhibitor that can count on the benefits of FACHPACK. Tableting, packaging and the entire upstream and downstream process chain will be ideally represented in autumn 2025. Joachim Dittrich expects FACHPACK, which is taking place at the same time, to have a significant positive impact on visitor numbers at the Fette Compacting stand. The CEO is certain: ‘The synergies between the two trade fairs offer both visitors and exhibitors significant added value. Trade visitors from the packaging industry in particular, who are also active in pharmaceutical and food production, will probably be very interested in our solutions.’
Early and new visitors in one. The concept works!
Even if it is still too early to quote figures: The trade fair team is already noticing that numerous technology providers are interested in a stand at the future POWTECH TECHNOPHARM - or have even already decided to present their expertise, service offerings and products there as early bookers. This also includes various medium-sized companies with fresh solutions.
‘In particular, companies that see the pharmaceutical sector as their future market react with great interest when we tell them about the stronger emphasis on the pharmaceutical and life sciences sector. They see great opportunities for broader awareness beyond their traditional customer sectors,’ says a delighted Larissa Braune, who already knows from several other new exhibitors that bookings for 2025 are as good as ready to go. The well thought-out concept has also impressed exhibitors who have been exhibiting for many years and have not really wanted any changes.
Fresh wind also takes sceptics with it
‘The revitalisation of the TECHNOPHARM name will give pharmaceutical suppliers more weight and attention again.’ Rico Weinert, Managing Director at Edelstahlbau Tannroda
