Most Important Date in the Green Sector Will Offer Informative Supporting Programme

Essen, October 21, 2014

International, topical and market-encompassing - IPM ESSEN is the only fair anywhere in the world to present the entire diversity of plants. From January 27 - 30, 2015, the sectoral meeting place will take place at Messe Essen for the 33rd time. Over 1,500 exhibitors will show their portfolios of products and services: from the newest plant breeds via innovative technology and floristry on the highest level right up to equipment for efficient marketing. The world's premier horticultural fair will be not only the number-one ordering platform but also a pioneering trendsetter and an important source of impetus for the global green sector. In addition to a comprehensive range available in the exhibition, an excellent fair programme with live floral shows, prize presentation ceremonies and informative forums will await the top-class trade visitors from all continents.

What great significance IPM ESSEN has for the international horticultural sector will be illustrated by the growing number of country participations. The Greece Pavilion will give its premiere in 2015. The Hellenes will show Mediterranean plants and herbs. India will also be represented with a cooperative booth for the first time. The available range will include coconut products for the green sector.

Sri Lanka will come up with two cooperative booths: on the one hand, with suppliers of gardening technology just like last year and, on the other hand, with plant producers as an absolutely new feature. Other national booths will be provided by Belgium, Costa Rica, Denmark, England, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Spain, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, Hungary and the USA.
