The Valve World Expo is a biennial event that has been held in Düsseldorf since 2010. This international trade fair and convention for industrial valves and fittings showcases a sector of the industry which warrants good potential growth in the future. Valves and fittings are used in a wide variety of different industries: to ensure safety in the oil and gas industry, channel liquids and gases in the chemical industry, regulate incoming and outgoing water and ensure a free flow of liquid in the drinks industry.
This is clearly a good reason to hold further regional events in the USA and Asia. The combination of a trade fair and conference has so far proved its worth in all three places.
VALVE WORLD EXPO: December 2014, Düsseldorf (Germany)
The last December took place the third edition of the international trade fair and convention for industrial valves and fittings, Valve World Expo, held in Düsseldorf, Germany. To meet the rising demand among exhibitors, a further exhibition hall was added to the event. 665 companies from 40 countries occupied a total space of about 18,000 square metres.
During the trade fair, were showcased the latest technologies in valves, valve-related products and components, actuators, position controllers, compressors, engineering services and software as well as industry associations and publishing companies. In all, 12,500 trade visitors came to Düsseldorf on the three days of the tradeshow.
The event was held in parallel with the Pump Summit where about 30 exhibitors from Italy, UK, Germany, China and the United States introduced innovative technologies, components and systems for pumps and seals.
Pumps must be safe and reliable in conveying solid, liquid and gaseous media as they are used in a wide range of different industries. Both the trade fair and the conference focused on specific markets: water and wastewater, facility management, food and beverages, mining, the chemical industry, oil and gas, the power industry, the pharmaceutical industry, shipbuilding, pulp and paper as well as engineering and contracting. www.valveworldexpo.de or www.valveworldexpo.com.
