Success through quality – with roughly 800 participants from 25 countries, the CONTROL international trade fair for quality assurance will once again live up to its reputation as a leading global trade fair!

With its comprehensive, practically oriented exhibition programme from the fields of measuring technology, materials testing, analysis equipment, optoelectronics, industrial image processing, QA systems and industry organisations, the CONTROL international trade fair for quality assurance will once again stage an impressive event. In order to substantiate this fact, project manager Gitta Schlaak cites the comparatively large number of exhibitors, amounting to 797, and above all strong participation of foreign manufacturers and suppliers which has once again increased. The exhibitors come from 25 countries, and Germany will naturally be represented by the largest quota with more than 600 participants, followed by Switzerland with 25 and China with 24 exhibitors. Next in line come Italy (22), France (19), Great Britain (11) and the USA (10), and thus all of the large industrialised nations are represented by their market and technology leaders.

More than 20% Foreign Exhibitors from 25 Countries

Including exhibitors from other industrial nations and newly industrialized countries such as Austria, Japan and Brazil, as well as the Czech Republic and Lithuania, more than 20% come from outside of Germany, which is rather unusual for such a high-tech sector and allows one to conclude that the issue of quality assurance is becoming more and more globalised. Booth floor space demand is every bit as encouraging as the trend demonstrated by exhibitor numbers, and thus Gitta Schlaak is able to report that with roughly 538,000 square feet of overall exhibition floor space, the figures achieved in 2009 can once again be matched. This is all the more astonishing due to the fact that concentration processes have also been triggered in the QA industry as a result of the global financial crisis, and because numerous industry players are still struggling with the consequences of the deep recession, for example ongoing shortened work hours.
 

CONTROL – Practically Oriented Industry Platform Plus Targeted Business Infotainment

In accordance with its leitmotif, “Success Through Quality”, the 24^th CONTROL will, as always, offer a continuous complementary programme which is actually inadequately described by the term “complementary”. The special show covering “Contactless Measuring Technology”, CONTROL’s current focal point involving “efficient use of resources”, the event forum dealing with “Energy Efficiency in Production”, the new theme park for “Quality Assurance in Medical Engineering”, the time tested CONTROL exhibitor forum, the brand new CONTROL Internet Café which supports targeted business communication, and the more-than-just-trendy-because-user-oriented QM blog – the 24^th CONTROL international trade fair for quality assurance provides positive impetus for economic stimulation – not only in good times, but rather in economically difficult times as well.
