ICE Europe, the International Converting Exhibition, has claimed a bounce-back to pre-pandemic levels of ‘energy and enthusiasm’, as well as a 30% increase in visitor numbers compared to the previous event, ‘heading for’ pre-pandemic times.
The exhibition took place in Munich from 14 to 16 March, attracting 4850 trade visitors from 64 countries. It was co-located with corrugated and carton show CCE International and InPrint Munich. More than 330 exhibitors filled floor space of 8700 square metres at the Munich Messe, showing a range of solutions for converting flexible, web-based materials such as paper, film, foil and nonwovens.
Organiser RX has announced that ICE Europe will return again in 2024, running from 12 to 14 March.
‘We are delighted to see such a positive turnout and how this year’s exhibition matched the energy and enthusiasm of our shows before the pandemic,’ said Patrick Herman, event director of the converting, paper and print events at RX.
‘Both exhibitors and visitors were highly satisfied, whether meeting with existing contacts or establishing new business relations. This affirms our course for the ICE Europe brand and makes us very proud to be able to provide the converting community with a regular key event – the only of its kind.’
