"We're very excited about this important endorsement that Interphex has received from one of the world's leading machinery and plant manufacturers' associations," says Kevin Richards, Industry Vice President, REC. "This affiliation with VDMA serves to strengthen both the event and our relationship with the European marketplace.
"Western industrialized countries are the most important customers of Germany's manufacturers of pharmaceutical processing and packaging machines," explains Dr. Peter Golz, Manager, Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Machinery Branch, VDMA. "Interphex, the pre-eminent pharmaceutical event in North America is the ideal platform for us to introduce our resources to the U.S. market. We hope to promote the growth and professionalism of our industry into the U.S. and beyond."
VDMA is highly export oriented, with its German processing and packaging machinery exported to a total of 150 countries. The 10 most important buying countries for Germany are the United States, France, United Kingdom, Russia, Poland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Japan and China/Hong Kong.
