The Exhibition Committee of the SENSOR+TEST voted Christoph Kleye (see image) into office as the board’s chairman. Christoph Kleye is the CEO of HY-LINE Sensor-Tec Vertriebs GmbH in Unterhaching, Germany. His predecessor, Joachim Achenbach, assumes the vice-chairman office. On taking office, Kleye especially commended the successful collaboration of exhibitors and the trade fair management: “The Exhibition Committee has considerably contributed to enhance the fair’s attractiveness over the recent years,” he stated. “In the future, the SENSOR+TEST needs to be oriented even more to the demands and requirements of this innovative industry. Working towards that end seems to me to be the task of the Exhibition Committee and I will appreciate the active support of its members to the continued success of the SENSOR+TEST.” The next SENSOR+TEST will be held from 7 to 9 June 2011 at the Nürnberg Exhibition Centre. In view of the significant increase in the number of bookings compared to the previous year, the fair clearly reflects the sustained economic upturn. Edited by Constanze Schmitz
