Hamma, Chief Operating Officer of Koelnmesse GmbH. “We are once again forecasting a +13% increase in the number of exhibitors compared to the previous event. As such, as the only trade fair worldwide, Anuga FoodTec covers all aspects of the food production and will convince in the coming year even more than ever due to its enormous variety of offers and quality”.
