Six hundred and eighty-seven exhibitors (2003: 646) from 36 countries (2003:35) showed their range of products and services at the European Coatings Show 2005. The leading exhibitor nations after Germany were Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, Italy, Switzerland and Belgium from Europe and the People's Republic of China, the USA and India from overseas.
The high innovative power of the exhibiting companies was reflected by the fact that over 80 per cent presented new or improved products in Nürnberg in 2005. The exhibitors accordingly rated the visitor response as encouraging:nine out of ten exhibitors were satisfied with the number of visitors to their stand. The exhibitors assessed the qualifications and competence of practically all trade visitors as very high. Well over 90 per cent of all exhibitors reached their key target groups at the exhibition. Over 95 per cent made new business connections during talks on the stand and 89 per cent expect follow-up business as a result of the European Coatings Show 2005. “The ECS is the ideal platform for us to present our new name to customers”, says Dr Egbert Brinkman, Key Account Manager Coating Resins Europe, Nuplex Resins, the Netherlands, for example. “I am very satisfied with the exhibition. All the raw material suppliers are represented here and one can source comprehensive information about current issues”.
