‘Better than expected’ mood at ISPO

29/01/2016
More than 80,000 visitors from 120 countries attended ISPO (January 24 to 27), said organisers, with increased numbers from Italy, Switzerland and Austria and, perhaps indicating a turnaround in these regions, a "large number" of visitors from Russia and the Ukraine.

The number of exhibitors also increased from 2,585 in the prior year to 2,645 exhibitors at this year’s event.

Klaus Dittrich, CEO of show organiser Messe München, said: “Following the challenging pre-Christmas sales conditions, the mood was definitely better than expected.

"The plethora of innovations and new products strengthened the confidence of the industry to be able to weather the latest challenges presented by climate and market structure changes.”
