analytica 2016 - More International Exhibitors Than Ever

The 25^th analytica, taking place in Munich from May 10–13,  looks set to be 

 more international than ever, with the number of exhibitors from countries (other than Germany) that have registered for the fair up by 27% over two years ago. The United States accounts for a large share of that increase (32 %). So far 789 companies have confirmed their participation (compared to 727 in 2013), an increase of 8.5%.

 “Given these numbers, there is no question that analytica is the gathering for the international laboratory technology, analysis and biotechnology industry,” said organisers  Messe München .The share of international exhibitors is currently 49%.The number of companies from Italy is also up by 30%; China will have three large joint exhibition stands at the fair and India will have one joint exhibit. Once again, the industry’s main event will bring leading German and international manufacturers to Munich, where major laboratory furniture manufacturers such as Köttermann and Waldner will be joined by companies such as Asecos and Düperthal.
