More information through attractive accompanying events
A visit to hall 7A at Brau Beviale 2010 was a must. Here the largest pavilion sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology in the whole of Germany in the current exhibition year presented 28 young innovative companies. Among the exhibitors:
Karin Loof, Sales Manager, Studio 55 International, Rantrum:„We have used Brau Beviale 2010 – one of our major exhibitions – to brief our customers in the beverage industry on new advertising media. We are looking forward to coming again in 2011.“
More than 20 suppliers and service providers in the „Energy & Water“ theme pavilion, which was organized together with the Competence Pool Weihenstephan of Munich Technical University, provided information on renewable energy, rational energy conversion, cogeneration units, contracting, disinfection, and recovery, analysis and treatment of water.
Ute Foellmer, European Sales Manager, Aquafine GmbH, Elmshorn: „Our business is the disinfection of water using UV rays. The exhibition was more international than we had thought. We welcomed many end customers on our stand, especially from Eastern Europe.“
The „Future Beverage Industry 20XX“ theme pavilion ventured a look into the future of the beverage industry. How can costs be cut? What technologies help to increase production? How can quality management be improved? Around a dozen companies presented visions and creative ideas for the future of the beverage industry in cooperation with the Versuchs- und Lehranstalt f?r Brauerei (Brewery Research and Training Institute) of Berlin. These ranged from new technology and software solutions and innovative sales aids to efficient logistics ideas.
Marco Di Muro, Project Management, Zeno Track GmbH, Vienna: „We are very satisfied with exhibiting in the theme pavilion. The feedback from the visitors was extremely positive. Especially the industry’s big names were impressed by our tracking systems for forklift trucks. We were also able to use the proximity to related companies to initiate cooperations. So Brau Beviale was a complete success.“
47 % of the visitors definitely included a visit to the two theme pavilions in their tour of the exhibition.
955 beers for the European Beer Star Award – Consumers’ Favourites
This popular international beer competition was launched jointly by Private Brauereien Bayern – the Bavarian private breweries association and honorary sponsor of the exhibition – and the German and European federations in 2004. 88 beer experts from 21 nations tasted and judged the beers in advance in the Doemens Brewing Academy on the basis of consumer criteria: What does the head look like? How does the beer feel in the mouth? How does it taste? Are the typical criteria for the kind of beer fulfilled? The beers were judged in 44 categories – from light beer to the new category of “ultra strong beer”. Exhibitors and visitors at Brau Beviale 2010 who appreciate a genuine beer with character also had a substantial say here. They tested the gold medal beers on the first day of the exhibition and selected their Consumers’ Favourites: Gold for Adriaen Brouwer Dark Gold, NV Brouwery Roman, Oudenaarde (B), Silver for Meinel’s Weizenbock, Familienbrauerei Meinel GmbH, Hof (D), and Bronze for St?rtebeker Roggen-Weizen, Stralsunder Brauerei, Stralsund (D).
„Brau Beviale 2010 completely lived up to our expectations. Sustainable management, which is part of our company’s philosophy, is perfectly represented here. Exhibiting at this event particularly enabled us to reach our SME customers and attract attention to our innovations – such as eccentric-support sunshades for the catering trade.“Tobias Jan Wenk, Gesch?ftsf?hrung WEBA-Fahnen GmbH & Co. KG, Baienfurt
PETpoint at Brau Beviale 2011
The next Brau Beviale takes place in the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg from 9-11 November 2011 – with an important new feature: The two leading exhibitions for the beverage industry, drinktec in Munich and Brau Beviale, are to cooperate in the PET segment. The PETpoint, the PET segment at drinktec, will also be present at Brau Beviale in N?rnberg starting in 2011. The background to the cooperation is the exceptionally fast innovation cycle in this segment. The organization of the pavilion rests in the hands of the drinktec team in Munich. The PETpoint 2011 will be marketed as part of visitor promotion for Brau Beviale. Volker Kronseder, Chairman of the VDMA-Fachverband Nahrungsmittel- und Verpackungsmaschinen (German Food Processing and Packaging Machinery Association), Frankfurt: „The cooperation in the PET segment suits us fine, benefits our industry and naturally both exhibitions too.“
