• IFAT ENTSORGA covers 215,000 square meters of exhibition space
• The show takes up all the exhibition halls for the first time

A good five months before IFAT ENTSORGA opens, the world’s premier trade show for innovations and services in water, sewage, waste and raw materials management is already fully booked. Waiting lists have been started in almost all product categories. IFAT ENTSORGA 2012 will be covering a total of 215,000 square meters of exhibition space—180,000 m² indoors and 35,000 m² outdoors—, and that will set a new record for the show. In terms of exhibitors, the number will exceed the 2,730 that took part in the last IFAT ENTSORGA.
 
"We are particularly pleased in this context with the response from exhibitors from abroad. A total of 27 international joint stands are registered, from 17 countries. Canada, Japan, Norway, Russia and Spain are taking joint stands for the first time," said Eugen Egetenmeir, Managing Director of Messe München. "These strong participation figures, resulting in fully booked halls, show clearly that the companies – in Germany and around the world – regard IFAT ENTSORGA as the leading trade fair for their sector."
 
Over the five days of IFAT ENTSORGA 2010, around 110,000 trade visitors from over 185 countries came to the event. After Germany, the top ten countries of origin for visitors were, in order: Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Poland, the Czech Republic, Denmark, the Russian Federation, the Netherlands and France.
