Dusseldorf appoints new director for Euroshop 2011

GERMANY - The 2011 edition of Germany’s Euroshop trade fair will take place with a new leader at the helm.

Hans Werner Reinhard takes over from Wilhelm Niedergoker, who left his management post at Messe Dusseldorf to retire.

“We are now placing the responsibility for 14 fairs in the hands of a young MD, who is very experienced in the trade fair business,” says Messe Dusseldorf board chairman, Werner Dornscheidt.

In addition to Euroshop, Reinhard has been in charge of other leading international trade fairs such as ProWein, the International Trade Fair for Wines and Spirits, and Interpack.
