EPTD and Deutsche Messe from Strategic Alliance
Under the motto "Efficiency - Innovation - Sustainability", the next HANNOVER MESSE - 19 to 23 April 2010 in Hannover, Germany - will showcase innovations, new developments and technologies, alongside new materials from the world of industry. With its clear orientation towards energy, mobility and automation, as well as industrial subcontracting, HANNOVER MESSE will again embrace the salient trends affecting every branch of industry.
Joint awareness that today's industrial marketplace is not only ever changing, but also one where innovations are developed at an extremely rapid pace is what brought the EPTDA and Deutsche Messe together. The EPTDA is the largest organisation of distributors and manufacturers of power transmission and motion control products in Europe. The association represents nearly 200 leading companies within the industry and brings together the decision making executives on one common platform. The EPTDA is committed to providing its members with networking, development and value-added business platforms fostering further growth.
The association recognizes the advantages HANNOVER MESSE offers its members in bringing both innovations and developments to a fast-paced, global audience. Featuring nine leading international trade fairs and 1,000 themed specialized presentations and forums, HANNOVER MESSE is the leading yearly event for business and industry and the most important platform for technical innovations.
At HANNOVER MESSE, the EPTDA will profit from a full spectrum of international initiatives offered within the Global Business & Markets platform. Global Business & Markets is a decided foreign trade platform within HANNOVER MESSE, offering an ideal atmosphere for establishing and nurturing international business contacts. High-ranking economic delegations come to the Global Business & Markets hall with the explicit intention of visiting industrial professionals. Furthermore, by means of an extensive matchmaking platform EPTDA members will have the opportunity to make new, high-level business contacts, find suitable joint-venture partners and interact with fellow professionals at an international level.
"Forming such alliances as with the EPTDA is what the HANNOVER MESSE is all about. HANNOVER MESSE offers a truly unique platform for industrial professionals to conduct trade at an international level. We welcome the EPTDA to Hannover and look forward to further intensifying our alliance over the coming years. A great deal of synergies between our two entities has already been identified and we look forward to bringing these advantages to both EPTDA members and HANNOVER MESSE participants," commented Marco Siebert, Director of International Relations at Deutsche Messe.
"EPTDA and PTDA (our American sister organization) members have been partnering with HANNOVER MESSE for many years now. This European strategic alliance is thus a natural evolution of our continued partnership and support to each other. It will help EPTDA to create more valuable and tangible benefits for its members and better streamline the efforts of EPTDA and HANNOVER MESSE to advance the power transmission and motion control industry worldwide." said Hans Hanegreefs, Executive Vice President, EPTDA.
