German trade fair reorganized with new focus on environmental technology

The formerly known ENTSORGA trade fair, now known as ENTSORGA-ENTECO, has undergone some major changes. The next event will carry a new name, has reduced show days and will occupy 4 entirely new halls. The show will have a stronger focus on environmental technology.

Mette Petersen, president of the subsidiary of the organizer, Koelmesse, Inc. Chicago, indicated: “The new ENTSORGA-ENTECO will showcase all segments of the value added chain in the waste management and environmental technology industries. This is a considerable change from the past and will open up new business opportunities for our exhibitors and attendees”.

ENTSORGA-ENTECO will take place from October 24-27, 2006 in Cologne, Germany. The organizer expects 1,000 exhibitors and close to 50,000 attendees from all over the world. Koelnmesse Inc. will provide USA Pavilion space for this event and anticipates strong demand among U.S. companies. Product groups will consist of Waste Management, Recycling, Waste Water, Incineration, Logistics, Pollution Control, Occupational Safety and Noise Protection.

Says Darrin Stern, U.S. sales manager at Koelnmesse Inc.: “The weak U.S. dollar compared to the EURO has lately helped exports of U.S. environmental technology and services. Pent up demand for investments into Water & Waste Water technology in Eastern Europe should provide an additional incentive for U.S. companies to expand internationally”.
