NürnbergMesse India has grown to become one the biggest exhibition organisers on the Indian sub-continent. Since launching in 2013, NürnbergMesse’s portfolio in India has grown to 15 exhibitions.
Dr Roland Fleck, CEO, NürnbergMesse Group; Sonia Prashar, MD, NürnbergMesse India; Peter Ottmann, CEO of the NürnbergMesse Group; and Bernhard Steinrücke, CEO, Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (pictured) attended a press conference in Mumbai to mark the fifth anniversary of NürnbergMesse India.
According to Ottmann, “The international exhibition industry is increasingly focused on the Indian market.”
“In the last few years, the NürnbergMesse family has grown remarkably with exhibitions and congresses all over the world. As we do in India, we always focus on offerings that are tailored to local needs,” said Sonia Prashar, managing director of NürnbergMesse India on the occasion of the company’s fifth anniversary.
Wolfgang Kranz, the NürnbergMesse executive in charge of international operations said that together with Sonia Prashar as managing director and her team, they are equipped to move their local projects and innovative projects forward and further grow the business of NürnbergMesse India.
NürnbergMesse India welcomed a total of nearly 68,000 visitors to its ten events in 2017. In 2013, about 300 exhibitors across 5,100sqm of net exhibition space attracted more than 15,000 visitors. By 2017 the number of exhibitors had grown to nearly 1,500 and the exhibition space to more than 35,700sqm. We had drawn exhibitors and visitors from India already before 2013. There has been a brisk transfer to Nuremberg since 2008.
In 2017, we welcomed 175 Indian exhibitors and a record 1,639 trade visitors from this dynamically growing country,” said Dr Roland Fleck.
Both NürnbergMesse CEOs feel that “2013 was just the right time to establish a presence in India as an exhibition organiser...Therefore, 2018 can also be seen as a starting point, the first page in the second chapter of NürnbergMesse India’s success story leading up to the 10-year anniversary,”
“Based on our exhibition statistics, we can say that Indian customers are especially interested in the European Coatings Show, BIOFACH/VIVANESS and Chillventa,” Fleck added.
The expertise in organising international trade exhibitions such as BIOFACH, EUROGUSS, it-sa, POWTECH and Chillventa in Nuremberg can be seen as the backbone of the success achieved in India.
